I am thinking to implement this using https://mlco2.github.io/impact/. We can get the inputs Hardware type, Hours Used, Provider, Region of Compute and return the raw carbon emissions produced and the approximate offset carbon emissions. I know the data is outdated, but in future if we get a updated source we can use it.

If we need more accurate results then we can also integrate with paid services like https://www.climatiq.io
