Ask HN: How can I calculate CO2 emission of servers/VPS?

• codecarbon

• cloud-carbon-footprint

  8 840 9.2 TypeScript

  Cloud Carbon Footprint is a tool to estimate energy use (kilowatt-hours) and carbon emissions (metric tons CO2e) from public cloud usage

  

ThoughtWorks made an app that does this: https://github.com/cloud-carbon-footprint/cloud-carbon-footp... but mainly works with aws, azure, and gcp

• co2.js

  2 324 8.8 JavaScript

  An npm module for accessing the green web API, and estimating the carbon emissions from using digital services

  

I recommend you take a look at co2.js. This was just mentioned in the latest issue of branch magazine (https://branch.climateaction.tech/issues/issue-4/co2js/) and I haven't played with it myself yet. Code is linked from the article but also https://github.com/thegreenwebfoundation/co2.js/

• co2go

  1 24 10.0 Go

I built a tool for benchmarking CO2 emissions for Go programs once. It was done as a joke for a meetup once, but is now more relevant than ever.

• Nomad

  94 14,398 9.9 Go

  Nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that can deploy a mix of microservice, batch, containerized, and non-containerized applications. Nomad is easy to operate and scale and has native Consul and Vault integrations.

  

We had a hard time finding this data when experimenting with carbon aware scheduling in Nomad. There seem to be a lot of orgs working on this, but it’s all third party as far as I know. I couldn’t find a first party (eg Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc) that provided this data via an API. Very frustrating.

There are a couple resources linked here: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/h-carbon-meta/CARBON...

The silver lining is that the folks who are working in this space are extremely friendly and passionate in my experience. Don’t be scared to “contact sales for an API let.” The few folks I talked to were extremely helpful.

  🛠 Giving access to BOAVIZTA reference data and methodologies trough a RESTful API

  

Have a look at the Boavizta API. It features an automated evaluation of environmental impacts of ICT services and equipments.

That seems to cover on-prem servers and AWS.
