California-based climate data and analytics company WattCarbon says its new Aristotle, AI-powered carbon measurement platform can record every watt-hour entering and exiting a battery, and its source. With the data translated into an emissions profile for the battery – based on the carbon intensity of grid electricity at time of dispatch – time-based accounting could enable users of the battery’s electricity to meet clean energy goals.
