The Carbon Data Specification is a data dictionary for raw data and a standard for data requirements that enable energy data access for measuring, quantifying, and tracking carbon emissions from energy production and consumption. These standards and requirements should boost confidence in data sources, increase data utilization, promote scalability, and enable data aggregation for centralized platforms, supporting and informing grid decarbonization pathways and decision-making.

The Working Groups of the Project are specified by the category of data and standards that they will include, namely:

Please visit the pages linked above for details on the respective scopes and how to get involved in each working group. You will find how to subscribe to the respective mailing list, calendar, and Slack channel there. For high-level updates, you can join the cdsc-general mailing list.

Participation in the project is open to all, including reviewing public information on the repository, website, or mailing list; engaging on the mailing list or Slack channel; attending meetings; commenting on issues or pull requests; and forking the repositories to play around with code or documentation (we're open source!). However, to contribute comments, suggestions, or other content that will be included in our specifications or open pull requests with proposed changes to our repository or specifications, your company must join as an LFESS member (it's free!). You can complete the membership application at joinnow.lfess.org.

The CDSC community meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 8:00 am US Pacific Time/11:00 am US Eastern Time/5:00 pm Central European Time to align the work across the working groups and assess the specification development process; you can track the discussion items here. Register for the meeting here.

You can see the full calendar of community activities here (note the timezone in the bottom left corner of the page).

The Project is overseen by the LF Energy Standards and Specifications (LFESS) Steering Committee, which approves the final specifications by up or down vote and ensures the project has the needed resources to be successful.
