Overview

Scope 1 emissions are calculations of direct greenhouse gas emissions that can be directly controlled by an organization. The source of the emissions is owned by the organization, for example, fossil fuels.

Use the Fugitive API to calculate emissions leaks of greenhouse gasses from refrigeration or air conditioning units.

Setup

Ensure that Python 3+ is installed on your system.

Note: To run this notebook, you must first add your credentials to '../../../auth/secrets.ini' in the following format:

[EAPI]
api.api_key = <Your Emissions API Key>
api.tenant_id = <Your Emissions API Tenant Id>
api.org_id = <Your Emissions API Org Id>

[ ]:

# Install the prerequisite Python packages
%pip install pandas configparser IPython requests matplotlib

[1]:

import pandas as pd
import configparser
import requests
import json
from IPython.display import display as display_summary

Authorization Token

Run the following code snippet to generate a Bearer Token by using your api_key configured in secrets.ini.

[2]:

config = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config.read(['../../../auth/secrets.ini','../../../auth/config.ini'])

EAPI_API_KEY        = config.get('EAPI', 'api.api_key')
EAPI_TENANT_ID      = config.get('EAPI', 'api.tenant_id')
EAPI_CLIENT_ID      = 'ghgemissions-' + EAPI_TENANT_ID
EAPI_ORG_ID         = config.get('EAPI', 'api.org_id')

EAPI_AUTH_CLIENT_ID = 'saascore-' + EAPI_TENANT_ID
EAPI_AUTH_ENDPOINT  = config.get('EAPI', 'api.auth_endpoint')

EAPI_BASE_URL       = config.get('EAPI', 'api.base_url')
EAPI_ENDPOINT       = f"{EAPI_BASE_URL}/fugitive"

auth_request_headers: dict = {}
auth_request_headers["X-IBM-Client-Id"] = EAPI_AUTH_CLIENT_ID
auth_request_headers["X-API-Key"] = EAPI_API_KEY

verify = True

auth_url = f"{EAPI_AUTH_ENDPOINT}?orgId={EAPI_ORG_ID}"

response = requests.get(url = auth_url,
                        headers = auth_request_headers,
                        verify  = verify
                       )
if response.status_code == 200:
    jwt_token = response.text
    print("Authentication Success")
else:
    print("Authentication Failed")
    print(response.text)

Authentication Success

Query

The example request payload (below) queries IBM Envizi - Emissions API for 1 kilogram (kg) of leaked R-404A in the state of New York, United States of America for 2025-01-01:

[3]:

payload = {
  "activity": {
    "type": "R-404A",
    "value": 1,
    "unit": "kg"
  },
  "location": {
    "country": "USA",
    "stateProvince": "New York"
  },
  "time": {
    "date": "2025-01-01"
  }
}

# Create the query headers
request_headers: dict = {}
request_headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
request_headers["x-ibm-client-id"] = EAPI_CLIENT_ID
request_headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + jwt_token

# Submit the request
response = requests.post(EAPI_ENDPOINT,
                         headers = request_headers,
                         data = json.dumps(payload))

For more information about allowable parameters for the payload, please see `Emissions API Developer Guide <>`__.
