Looking into it, it seems all founding members sponsor maplibre https://opencollective.com/maplibre (MS is sponsoring via Github sponsors)

Interesting to see some of the founding members of Overture Maps Foundation are also major sponsors of MapLibre (https://maplibre.org/sponsors/). I wonder if there are plans to unify these 2 communities.
jtmiclat | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I calculate CO2 emission of servers/VPS?
ThoughtWorks made an app that does this: https://github.com/cloud-carbon-footprint/cloud-carbon-footp... but mainly works with aws, azure, and gcp
You might be interested in their methodology page https://cloudcarbonfootprint.org/docs/methodology/
Full disclosure: My company was one of the early testers of the app
