Description
My understanding is that CodeCarbon can (with some limitations) read real-time power consumption by CPUs and GPUs. From this, and integrating over time, the energy consumed is calculated (e.g. kWh). My understanding is that CC then uses a basic lookup to convert kWh to CO2_eq. It appears this is by using static data (https://github.com/mlco2/codecarbon/blob/master/codecarbon/data/private_infra/global_energy_mix.json).
It would be much better to use dynamic data e.g. from electricitymaps, WattTime etc. How would I go about doing this?
Secondly the data for UK in the above json file states a CI of "268.329" (is this g CO2_eq per kWh?) with a date of "2021". Where, UK Gov website (https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fmedia%2F61ee7495e90e07037c8d6176%2Fconversion-factors-2021-condensed-set-most-users.xls&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK avail from https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/greenhouse-gas-reporting-conversion-factors-2021) for 2021 data has a figure of 212.33 gCO2_eq per kWh for UK electricity on average for 2021
More importantly there is now updated annual average for UK, see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/greenhouse-gas-reporting-conversion-factors-2023
