Green Software – How To Make Our Applications Carbon Aware?
Talkat LF Energy Embedded Summit @ EOSS 2023 · on Friday, 2023-06-30· at 16:00· Conference Hall (Level 4)·
summary
Green software reduces emissions by three concrete tactics: time shifting jobs to low-carbon hours, location shifting workloads when regional carbon intensity is cleaner, and demand shaping to expand work during surplus renewable generation. Claims backed by tooling: the open-source Carbon Aware SDK exposes forecast and real-time carbon intensity (marginal carbon intensity) and includes a Jupyter demo plus Kubernetes integration. Practical notes: IT equals ~4% of global emissions and coal plants need ~70% minimum output, so amortize embodied carbon and compare Software Carbon Intensity before replacing hardware.
