Problem
Cloud infrastructure contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, yet many organizations lack the tools to effectively measure and manage their cloud carbon footprint. This makes it difficult to optimize resource usage and make informed decisions about cloud provider and region selection to minimize environmental impact.
Solution
Carbonifer provides a command-line interface (CLI) and dashboard to transform cloud infrastructure into a carbon-aware environment by estimating carbon emissions from Terraform files and providing real-time measurement of emissions from deployed infrastructure. By connecting to AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts, Carbonifer analyzes infrastructure-as-code (IaC) projects to estimate emissions based on cloud provider datacenter information. The platform also performs live analysis of existing infrastructure to estimate carbon emissions in real-time, enabling users to dynamically resize or relocate servers and schedule computing tasks based on grid carbon intensity.
Target Audience
Carbonifer is designed for DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and sustainability officers seeking to measure, analyze, and reduce the carbon footprint of their cloud infrastructure.
