lookup_emission_factor — Look up EPA eGRID electricity emission factors for a US ZIP code.
lookup_by_coordinates — Look up emission factors by latitude/longitude.
lookup_batch — Look up emission factors for up to 100 ZIP codes in one call (split longer lists).
calculate_emissions — Calculate Scope 2 CO2e for a facility from its ZIP and kWh, using both GHG Protocol methods: location-based (eGRID subregion rate) and market-based (Green-e residual mix applied to kWh not covered by RECs, PPAs or green tariffs).
plant_emissions — Get hourly unit-level emissions from EPA Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) for a specific US power plant or state.
utility_tariff — Get the actual utility-specific electricity rate (not state average) for a US ZIP code or named utility.
electricity_rate — Get the latest monthly average retail electricity rate ($/kWh and cents/kWh) for any US ZIP code, broken out by sector (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.
compare_sites — Compare and rank 2-25 candidate US sites (ZIP codes) for a facility, data center or EV/flexible load on grid carbon and electricity cost in one call.
