This workstream focuses on embodied carbon, which is the CO2e emitted by the manufacture of the physical entities within a data center.  Embodied carbon cannot be directly measured, rather it is modeled, and thus this workstream is named OCP Sustainability Carbon Modeling.
Today many of the companies involved in OCP have set and begun to measure the CO2 impact of their data center and cloud use.  Two of the key opens in this space are:
   
How to get the most accurate embodied CO2 values from the data center supply chain and how these values can easily be shared.
This workstream was created to address the following challenges:
There is a variety of intellectual property, approaches to LCA, and composition of components (and their various IP, LCA and compositions) which makes sharing data complex in a way to enable the right business decisions.
*1. Data Access: How to obtain best estimates of embodied CO2e values from the supply chain and researchers.
 
*2. Data Opacity: How to understand the various methods that were utilized to estimate embodied CO2e at all steps along the supply chain.
The OCP Carbon Modeling workstream has been created to help solve these problems. Through an industry and research partnership we will create a specification and initial implementation which enables programmatic access (via API) to sharing the critical sustainability information within the datacenter supply chain.  The business scenario which this API enables initially will be how a silicon foundry can share the relevant sustainability information to a downstream customer purchasing and deploying its products in a datacenter and enabling increased accuracy and sustainability reporting for that product.
*3. Data Grade: How to summarize the quality and completeness of the embodied CO2e estimates.
