Our Products and Sustainability
Data-driven sustainability solutions are now urgently needed, and this need is a significant driver of innovation. We are playing a crucial part in accelerating the net zero transition because of the unique position that our company holds as a source of weather data. This vision aligns with Openweather's core competency in weather data analysis and contributes to SDG 13 (Climate Action) by assisting diverse regions in building resilience against climate impact. Our advanced ML-based numerical weather model provides fast and reliable weather data globally, aiding various industries - from energy and agriculture to logistics and marketing - in achieving both profitability and sustainability.
At OpenWeather, sustainability is not just an add-on; it's integrated into the very essence of our products. For example, our Road Risk API, which significantly enhances vehicle navigation, aligns perfectly with sustainable practices by promoting fuel efficiency. Citing study by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which suggest that Green Routing could lead to fuel savings of as much as 10%, it's clear that such achievements rely heavily on accurate weather data. Our products play a significant role in this process, contributing substantially to the reduction of emissions. Our Solar Panel Energy Prediction API is pivotal in optimising the output of solar panels, ensuring that they operate at peak efficiency. This technology is crucial for the development of cleaner energy sources, particularly at a time when the shift towards sustainable energy is imperative for the planet. In essence, every OpenWeather solution is a step towards a more sustainable world, demonstrating our commitment to embedding environmental stewardship into business efficiency.
