Currently, all requests are reviewed individually, which requires a few days to reply. Due to significant volume of requests, please expect a delay in the provision of this data. ### I have obtained access to the free data for students, but I don’t know how to use it. Here`s our [how to start](https://openweathermap.org/appid) guide. ### What should I do if my 6-months access to the free data expired, but my project is not yet finished? Your access to the free data for students could be reviewed, depending on your individual circumstances. We would ask you to provide a detailed description of your project and to define the time period this data will be required for. ### May I still access the free data for students once my research project is over? - Send us an email to receive an individual consultation on our discounts and special offers. Then you could choose the data package that would be the best fit for your needs. - In case you develop a project with an open-source code, you may participate in our Open-source initiative. ### Can I have access to free data for students if my studentship expires sooner, than in 6 months? Yes, we will still review your application for the free data for students. ### What should I do if I receive service errors? Please, read our [documentation](https://openweathermap.org/api) or send an email to [info@openweathermap.org](mailto:info@openweathermap.org). ### Can I share the API key to my friends outside the university? Please, do not share your API key with anyone else. Should your peers require access to weather data, you may [direct them to us](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) and we will help to choose a best solution. ### Can I use the free data for students in the development of my commercial projects?

Weather data serves a fundamental role for numerous industries, offering insights into climate patterns, energy demand, and operational optimisation. We harness the power of weather to craft solutions that enhance business efficiency while fostering environmental care. Beyond our offerings, we champion environmental education, infuse our corporate culture with eco-awareness, and enhance access to weather data for a broader audience. Discover our journey in sustainable innovation and join us in shaping a future where environmental responsibility and business success are inextricably linked. ![sustainability](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/sustainability-banner.jpg) - [Talk to sales](mailto:info@openweathermap.org) ## Our Products and Sustainability ![carbon neutral](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/ow-carbon-neutral-2.webp) 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](https://openweather.co.uk/technology) provides fast and reliable weather data globally, aiding various [industries](https://openweather.co.uk/industries) - from energy and agriculture to logistics and marketing - in achieving both profitability and sustainability. ![sus-products](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/sus-products.webp) 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](https://openweather.co.uk/products/road-risk), which significantly enhances vehicle navigation, aligns perfectly with sustainable practices by promoting fuel efficiency. Citing [study](https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy17osti/68643.pdf) 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](https://openweather.co.uk/products/solar-energy-prediction) 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. ## OpenWeather Sustainable Culture ### Sustainable business practises ![culture](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/sus-culture.webp) - In our commitment to a greener future, we've embraced paperless operations as a key initiative. From documentation to promotional materials such as leaflets and brochures for meetings and conferences, we've transitioned to digital formats, reducing our environmental footprint. - Further amplifying our commitment to environmental conservation is [our partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).](https://openweather.co.uk/blog/post/helping-save-tiger) Through initiatives like adopting a tiger, we actively contribute to the restoration of vital habitats and ecosystems essential for the survival of these endangered species. This collaboration not only reflects our dedication to wildlife protection but also aligns with broader efforts to ensure sustainable coexistence between humans and nature. Together, these actions underscore our resolve to make meaningful, positive changes for our planet. ### Employee ![net zero](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/net-zero-picture.webp) Our team is the driving force behind our sustainability initiatives. - **Employee-Led Initiatives:** Many of our most impactful sustainability projects originated from our team members, reflecting our collective commitment to environmental stewardship. - **Continuous Learning:** We regularly conduct workshops and training sessions to stay aware of the latest in sustainable practices, ensuring our team is always equipped to make a difference. ## Carbon Neutrality Certificate ![OW Carbon Neutral Certification](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/OW-Carbon-Neutral-Certification.webp) We are proud to announce that Openweather has achieved the Carbon Neutrality Certificate, a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability. This milestone is just the beginning: **What This Means:** Achieving this certificate signifies our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and our ongoing efforts to improve our environmental impact. **Our Continued Effort:** We are committed to upholding the standards of this certification and seeking ways to further our sustainability journey. ## Community and Educational Engagement ![EXPLORE OUR PROJECTS](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/img2.webp) At OpenWeather, we recognise the crucial role of collective responsibility and engagement in tackling global challenges such as climate change and sustainability. We're committed to promoting sustainability across diverse audiences, driven by the belief that wider access to weather data can unlock significant potential. That is why we have launched [OpenWeather Initiatives:](https://docs.openweather.co.uk/our-initiatives) ![education](https://weatherfoundation.org/api/media/file/education.jpg) - [Student Initiative:](/initiatives/student-initiative.md) Through our Student Initiative, we offer complimentary access to our data for students and researchers. This initiative has successfully created a vibrant community of over 8,000 members, all actively engaged in using our data for scientific research. We hold a firm belief that by equipping people with weather data, we're not just educating them, but also enabling the discovery of more innovative and groundbreaking approaches to address climate change. This initiative underscores our dedication to fostering a generation of problem-solvers and thought leaders in climate science. - OpenSource Initiative: Our commitment to collective responsibility and engagement extends to the OpenSource community. We firmly believe in the power of OpenSource solutions to drive progress. To support and inspire OpenSource developers, we facilitate access to weather data, encouraging contributions to the OpenSource infrastructure. Our community now includes thousands of dedicated developers, evidenced by our presence in over 20,000 [GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=openweathermap&ref=cmdform&type=repositories) repositories. This approach aligns with our philosophy that greater access to data leads to better outcomes. - Healthcare Initiative: Embracing the sustainability principle of balanced development, OpenWeather's Healthcare initiative focuses on expanding the understanding of how weather impacts human wellbeing. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the fragility of human health, prompting us to support research that delves into how weather influences health and wellbeing. Through our Healthcare initiative, we have assisted hundreds of research projects, aiming to deepen our understanding of this relationship. We are convinced that insights gained from this research will not only broaden our knowledge but also enhance the wellbeing of future generations, demonstrating our commitment to a sustainable and health-conscious future. - [Explore our initiatives](/initiatives.md) --- # Sustainability ## Sustainability at OpenWeather See how we’re building a greener future through innovation and action.
