From cf575052918084124113680d2b91f4547cfb9db8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Morgan Voltz <232466775+morgan-voltz@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 13:46:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Add=20carbon-fr=20to=20Carbon=20Awareness=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20French=20grid=20carbon=20intensity=20API?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds carbon-fr to the Carbon Awareness section. carbon-fr is an open-source API that serves the carbon intensity (gCO₂eq/kWh) of the French electricity grid, at national level and for the 12 metropolitan regions, built on RTE/éCO2mix open data (via ODRÉ). Several tools already in this section — Carbon-minimiser, Grid-intensity-go — rely on the UK National Grid carbon intensity API to decide when and where to run jobs. carbon-fr brings the equivalent open data source for France, and goes further on two points: - it adds historical series and an up-to-72h forecast that the source data doesn't provide; - it exposes carbon-aware scheduling endpoints that surface the greenest upcoming window to shift compute. Open source (MIT OR Apache-2.0) and self-hostable, with no API key or quota for consumers. --- README.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 92d62a1..84a911a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -121,6 +121,7 @@ Do you know of an incredible green software repository that we missed?

With built-in ESG reporting, companies gain clear visibility into their cloud emissions and costs, while workloads are scheduled with water scarcity in mind and never run on servers above 100gCO₂/kWh. CarbonRunner brings measurement, carbon efficiency and carbon-aware orchestration together in one platform, making it easy to track existing workflows on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and run them more sustainably. +- [carbon-fr](https://github.com/Kovelt/carbon-fr): Open API for the carbon intensity (gCO₂eq/kWh) of the French electricity grid, national and per-region, built on RTE/éCO2mix open data.
