Cloud compute CO2 footprint API

Estimate cloud workload CO2e: compute kWh = vcpuHours x watts/vCPU / 1000 x PUE (power-usage-effectiveness, default 1.2); storage kWh = GB-months x 0.0012 x PUE; total kWh x grid intensity. Returns compute/storage/total kWh, grams/kg CO2e and tree equivalents. Answers 'CO2 of 1000 vCPU-hours','carbon footprint of my cloud bill','data center emissions with PUE 1.2','server energy to CO2'.
