AMEE

From WikiClimate

AMEE, "the world's energy meter" is a neutral aggregation platform to measure and track all the energy data on Earth. This includes aggregating every emission factor and methodology related to CO₂ and Energy Assessments (individuals, businesses, buildings, products, supply chains, countries, etc.), and all the consumption data (fuel, water, waste, quantitative and qualitative factors).

It is a web-service (API) that combines measurement, calculation, profiling and transactional systems. Its algorithmic engine applies conversion factors from energy into CO₂ emissions, and represents data from 150 countries. The acronym AMEE stands for "Avoiding Mass Extinctions Engine", a quiet piece of black humour characteristic of the project's founder Gavin Starks.

AMEE aids the development of businesses and other initiatives - by providing common benchmarks for measurement, tracking, conversion, collaboration and reporting.

AMEE is designed to add to, and support, your business or projects. Its role is to help create, stimulate and be part of the emerging ecosystems around energy data; whether you are creating a calculator or a marketplace, tracking a building or a supply chain. AMEE is complimentary to and can facilitate Smart Grids, information systems, legislative frameworks and compliance schemes.

We aim to assist with the development of energy as a global carbon currency, assisting governments and companies that need to account for and trade internationally in CO₂ emissions.

Over two hundred organisations have developer access to the AMEE platform across dozens of sectors.

AMEE is an important partner of WikiClimate, and currently hosts the WikiClimate wiki.

The AMEE API has its own, more technically oriented wiki, here.
