Make CO₂ emissions factor configurable #3290
Conversation

I just became aware of #3198, now that would be the absolute best approach. In the meantime I still think this helps, specially for me since electricity maps has no data for Ecuador 😅 |

Cool stuff, thanks for contribution 👍 This is a good fallback option if electricitymaps doesn’t have data for a specific country. By the way, I’m impressed that SOLECTRUS has already reached Ecuador in its quest for world domination ;-) |

😂 yes! I became aware of it via the forecast.solar website. they have a logo of the project on it, and I was curious to know more about it. I love the simplicity and cleanliness of the dashboard. It has all the information I need at a glance. I have access to more granular data, and to other graphing options via Grafana, but seeing the most relevant information displayed without distractions is perfect. |
I love the CO₂ reduction feature, but it is not configurable, and set to the German factor, which is, to be honest, quite high (thanks Grünen).
This PR allows the factor to be set as an ENV variable. Ideally it would work just as the energy prices, with a set start date for the calculations, so that you can update it when new energy sources are introduced, but that is too much work for now. I might look further into in the future, but for the time being this works.
Also fixes a typo with the constant name.
