Support regional energy mixes
For now, we only use the world mix to compute GWP, ADPE and PE:
IF_ELECTRICITY_MIX_GWP = 5.90478e-1 # kgCO2eq / kWh (World)
IF_ELECTRICITY_MIX_ADPE = 7.37708e-8 # kgSbeq / kWh (World)
IF_ELECTRICITY_MIX_PE = 9.988 # MJ / kWh (World)
But we know that some providers only have servers in a specific region (e.g. OpenAI in the US).
We could add a column in data/models.csv
indicating a zone (country, continent, ...), and then query another .csv
(or query some database in another way) to ask for an average energy mix of the zone, or keep the World mix if unspecified.
