The underlying calculations apparently depend on the following CSV: https://github.com/mlco2/codecarbon/blob/master/codecarbon/d...

Two problems I see here

1. They are using AWS, which is not in the data set

2. The calculation set seems questionable to me. The GCP Iowa data center has some of the best renewable usage, are they using the data center total (a larger data center with more renewable can still have more total emmissions vs only 8% of the compute I use should be included in the calculation. Either way, the underlying data for the calculation is out of date

edit...

I opened an issue with the codecarbon project to see if we can get more clarity on things. I've include links there for the breadcrumbs I followed
