lemonDeCarbon

lemonDeCarbon is a software project focused on reducing the carbon footprint of digital technologies. Its primary aim is to provide tools and methodologies for developers and organizations to measure, understand, and ultimately decrease the environmental impact of their software and IT infrastructure. The project explores various aspects of digital carbon emissions, including the energy consumption of data centers, the embodied carbon in hardware, and the lifecycle emissions associated with software development and usage.

The project investigates different approaches to software optimization for energy efficiency, such as efficient coding practices, algorithmic improvements, and the use of less energy-intensive cloud computing resources. It also delves into the challenges of quantifying digital carbon footprints, developing metrics and frameworks for consistent measurement. lemonDeCarbon often collaborates with researchers and industry professionals to advance the understanding and practical application of sustainable software engineering. The initiative seeks to raise awareness about the environmental consequences of the digital world and promote a more responsible approach to technology creation and consumption.
