We're kickstarting bsaed on scenarios for a general IT projects, using a Miro board to map out the test cases for sustainability. The use case is a Call for Tender, where sustainability practices are evaluated. Our ELCA internal processes are a reference for the phases involved.
We found a company that did some very unseemly and unsustainable things. We are defining a management plan for addressing the issue in their emergency meeting, identifying emissions, benchmarking it with the tool from Resilio, and recommend steps to implement in mid term.

Our task is improving the design of a website, which tests the footprint of a URL that you enter - based on complexity of the frameworks and amount of requests being sent to the server. We're creating a new design in Canva, adding some new elements to it.

**"Electricity maps" API: ** https://portal.electricitymaps.com/dashboard https://portal.electricitymaps.com/docs/getting-started#geolocation Free Tier. For the free plan, the following endpoints are available: /v3/carbon-intensity/latest:
- Latest Carbon Intensity. This endpoint retrieves the last known carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWh) of electricity consumed in an area. v3/carbon-intensity/latest --- we can use this one to automatically link it to the tool, and show either green or red.
----- Available but not for free.
- Forescast Carbon Intensity. This endpoint retrieves the forecasted carbon intensity (in gCO2eq/kWh) of an area. It can either be queried by zone identifier or by geolocation. By default, this endpoint returns 24 hours of forecasts. v3/carbon-intensity/forecast
- Forecasted Day-Ahead Price. This endpoint retrieves the forecasted market day-ahead prices (in EUR/MWh) of an area. v3/price-day-ahead/forecast

Ideas
AnimalDL Green Rendering CI/CD Awareness MiniBTreeStore - Carbon-Aware Status
Places to see where Energy is coming From
Europe - entsoe Switzerland swissgrid
Learnings
demand shifting demand shaping
Price fluctuations for energy (spot pricing) are very correlated to how much of the grid is currently run on renewables 50gco2/kwh as threshold for HIGH threshold
First Sprint
- integrate live data carbon intensity into MiniBTreeStore
- get familiar with MiniBTreeStore
