Carbon Data Specification Consortium helps drive climate solutions with carbon data standardization
summary
Electric project proves that open sourcing data ingestion and harmonization scales: an open core pipeline pulls from ~100 public sources with 1,000 contributors, serves 30–100k daily users and a realtime map of 180 zones. The Carbon Data Specification Consortium publishes a three‑stream spec and ships an API demonstrator (first version live) to standardize grid and carbon reporting, already getting validation from European TSOs and aligning with Article 20a style regulations.
