Thanks for raising the idea in Aha.
We have conducted a review on this. The Envizi API solution allows existing clients to retrieve emissions by running an API data call to Envizi, and emission values are generally available in several key envizi api reports, such as the 'Monthly Data Summary' report. More information on the Envizi API can be found here:

The idea to establish a carbon emission calculation API with direct data input from users is great. However the challenge with this function is that it may lead to inappropriate disclosure of propertary emission factor values, such as IEA factors, for which IBM has commercial non-disclosure agreement with the factor provider. Although emission factors will not be directly revealed to the end user, but through reverse calculations, it is possible for these values to be worked out and it is not obtained within the Envizi platform itself.
At the moment we are onboarding several additional factor providers and we will review the idea again in a future time, together with a condieration of market demand.
