Software's dirty secret.

Digital technologies are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Although hardware produces these emissions, software drives the demand. How we build our software matters!

Airplane

Major CO2 Culprit

IT accounts for almost 4% of global emissions. More than global aviation and shipping combined! And it is growing fast with power hungry technologies like AI.

Electricity Pylon

Electricity Demand

Computers need electricity. Power grids emit carbon by burning fossil fuels. Even cloud providers with 100% renewable energy agreements emit lots of CO2e.

By instrumenting the software development life cycle we are able to measure power consumption and find oportunities to optimise for carbon emissions.
