Carbon impact calculator
EDP's Carbon Impact Evaluator is designed to measure the carbon emissions associated with the website. To conduct this assessment, uses the CO2.js library from the Green Web Foundation, which offers two distinct methodologies for calculating emissions:
- Sustainable Web Design: This methodology is based on data transfer as an indicator of energy resource usage. It uses this data to extrapolate the site's energy consumption values as a fraction of the expected energy for a total system. This approach allows for a more detailed understanding of the environmental impact related to data traffic.
- OneByte: This methodology model calculates CO2 emissions based on the amount of data in bytes. This metric provides a direct perspective on how each byte transferred contributes to the application's carbon footprint. Flexibility is a feature of this module, as users have the option to implement both models or just one, depending on their needs.
