Carbon Intensity is an OCaml client for querying various energy grid APIs to understand the energy generation mix. This enables programs like schedulers, energy monitors etc. to have a better understanding of their carbon intensity.
The API provides geographic-specific services, which allow you to exploit more fine-grained APIs and then a generic Intensity
interface for a global-oriented API.

- France:
- Misc:

A very simple use of the region specific API for Great Britain only requires the user to provide Eio's network capability.
