Yes, you can use the API free of charge for an unlimited period of time and unlimited user. We also offer a free Carbon Calculator tool to help IT architects to plan the carbon emissions of their upcoming projects.

The service cost is based on "Monitored Service", meaning a service which has been actively monitored at least once in a month. For example, a VM which has been active for 2 days in a month counts as a Monitored Service. If it does not reappear the month after, it is no longer counted towards the maximum number of Monitored Services.

We offer APIs, which requires service usage metrics as input for accurate carbon calculation. You can typically retrieve this information from your existing observability solution. We also offer reference implementations to connect directly to AWS, Azure, GCP or Prometheus and access the metrics. Our ESN partners can help you set the necessary integration.

Yes, and with the same methodology, making sure that you can compare between several clouds and on-premise options.

We cover all IaaS services from AWS, Azure, GCP, such as compute, compute with GPU, many storage and backup. We also cover a wide number of PaaS services such as DBaaS, serverless functions, containers, analytics, managed K8s, etc

We ambition to cover for more than 80% of our end customers' cloud originated emissions and 95% of our customers' private datacenter emissions.

Services like SaaS are still very difficult to cover due to a lack of data but we are working with SaaS providers so they can offer their customer a reliable carbon footprint report.

OxygenIT respects the computation methodology of the Green Software Foundations ISO 21031. Based on that methodology we are able to compute impact metrics for hardware to high level cloud services (like a PaaS) that also integrates the system architecture of the service.

Our computation engine uses qualified and documented data for each computation, and we maintain up-to-date and we add new cloud services and models continously.For operational carbon (scope 2), based on real usage data we 1) reconstruct the energy consumption and 2) use the datacenter PuE and carbon emission factor.

For embodied carbon (scope 3), we follow the computation of the ISO 21031.For more information, please refer to our Green Native for IT whitepaper

Yes, OxygenIT provides a list of recommended quantified reduction actions via its API. We are continually enriching our recommendations as we cover more and more IT services.

Yes, OxygenIT offers a local webapp tool for architects and PMO so they can quote the carbon impact of multiple versions of an up-coming IT project or transformation. A set of services with basic configuration are available with the free API and it can be extended with Enterprise API  access to all cloud services and on-premise equipment.

Our APIs are used by:
- IT Architects willing to simulate the environmental impact of a new IT project or transformation
- FinOps and infrastructure teams looking to align cost reduction and carbon savings
- ESG and compliance teams requiring accurate embodied and operational carbon data for their consolidated reports (e.g., CSRD, SFDR)
- SaaS vendors having to report the carbon emissions of the services they manage for their end-customers

Yes. Based on its methodology combining granularity, real-time measurement and constant automatic update, OxygenIT offers a fully auditable measurement service compliant with ISO 21031 and the GHG Protocol.
