Cloud Carbon Footprint is an open-source application that estimates energy consumption (kWh) and carbon emissions (metric tons CO2e) from public cloud usage across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. It exposes its estimation logic through a CLI, an API, and a web dashboard for measuring, monitoring, and reporting cloud carbon emissions.

Use cases

• estimate carbon emissions from my AWS cloud usage
• measure our cloud carbon footprint for Scope 3 reporting
• track energy consumption of cloud instances across providers
• find opportunities to reduce cloud waste and emissions
• generate sustainability reports for cloud infrastructure
• monitor cloud carbon emissions over time in a dashboard

When to choose

• you use AWS, GCP, or Azure and need visibility into cloud energy and emissions
• you need to report cloud emissions as part of corporate sustainability targets
• you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to vendor carbon dashboards
• you want to embed emissions estimation logic into your own tooling via its packages or API

When to avoid

• you need exact, metered emissions data rather than methodology-based estimates
• your infrastructure is on-premises or on a non-supported cloud provider
• you need real-time emissions monitoring rather than periodic estimation
• you require certified or audited carbon accounting for compliance
