Measurement Tools

Cloud

• Cloud Carbon Footprint calculator (and Github)

• Although Amazon have also now launched their own Customer Carbon Footprint Tool for AWS users.

• CSE's Impact: A community carbon calculator

• Corey Quinn has a useful overview comparing Google's and Amazon's cloud carbon reporting dashboards - summary: Google good, Amazon rubbish. (August 2022)

Site/Page calculators

• Website Carbon lets you run one-off simple analysis on a single URL.

  • NB. Based on 2017 data.
  • NB. Possibly based on data transferred via a basic Lighthouse run - may be concerned with first couple of pages of site (on desktop? or mobile?) - to confirm.

• Ecograder is a similar tool, although its score seems to be largely based on Lighthouse scores - SEO and accessibility are reported alongside page weight metrics, and it's not quite clear if these affect the overall score or not.

• EcoPing is a more comprehensive offering with paid plans, daily reports, etc (and also a free tier).

• Are My Third Parties Green - get a summary of size of third party data requests and whether they are considered green or not.

General organisational activity

• Cloverly covers various business activities, incuding flights, coffee, etc. You add a card for payment, and can then automatically pay for carbon offsets based on activities tracked. Also includes Slack integration, and an API for developer integration.
  • See Wordpress green resources for plugins which integrate with Cloverly.

Machine learning

• An online, open-source carbon impact calculator for machine learning, by several researchers.
