"reduce the environmental impact of their digital in a simple"
This doesn't make sense in English. "digital" isn't a noun but follows a possessive pronoun. Since "digital" isn't a thing but rather describes something, a noun needs to follow "digital".

It maintains a tool which calculates impacts of digital assets from its internal database. The Carbon plugin sends queries to this tool to get metrics which are locally saved and agregated. |

"IT" is not a pronoun used for people, but also this sentence seems partially redundant with the one before. Maybe they can be combined to:

The plugin calculates internally the emissions of C0_2Eq, using carbon intensity of local electricity of each assset. Other impacts are calculated by external tools. |

The plugin internally calculates the emissions of C0_2Eq, using the carbon intensity of the local electricity supplier of each asset. Other impacts are calculated by external tools. |
The plugin Carbon identifies the location of an asset, the average power consumption and theorical poweron and poweroff times of assets to determine how many greehouse gas is emitted by the exploitation of assets. | ||
|
||
The carbon intensity of electricity is collected from local providers and downsampled to 1 hour time slots. For each asset where there are enough data, the plugin evaluates when it is powered on and calculates the average energy consumed then the carbon emissions of this energy consumption. | ||
|
||
The results are then aggregated by day, and are used to calculate the total carbon emission on a larger time frame, like a month or a year. |

The Carbon plugin identifies the location of an asset, the average power consumption and theoretical power-on and power-off times to approximate the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by the asset's usage. | |

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission that would have an equivalent effect on a specified key measure of climate change, over a specified time horizon, as an emitted amount of another greenhouse gas (GHG) or a mixture of other GHGs. For a mix of GHGs, it is obtained by summing the CO2-equivalent emissions of each gas. There are various ways and time horizons to compute such equivalent emissions (see greenhouse gas emission metric). CO2-equivalent emissions are commonly used to compare emissions of different GHGs, but should not be taken to imply that these emissions have an equivalent effect across all key measures of climate change. |

The antimony is a metaloid: it has properties of both metals and non-metals. It is used in life cycle assessment to assess the impact of tie extraction from the Earth crust of non biotic resources, like minerals and fossil fuels. |
