# Carbon Aware SDK
The Carbon Aware SDK is a toolset to help you measure the carbon emissions of your software,
in turn helping you **measure and reduce your software's carbon emissions**.
Carbon aware software does more when it can leverage greener energy sources, and less when the energy CO2 emissions are higher.

The Carbon Aware SDK is a toolset to help you measure the carbon emissions of your software, in turn helping you **measure and reduce your software's carbon emissions**, and choose when and where you run your software to make it greener.

By knowing the carbon emissions of the energy that powers your applications,
you and your organisation can make decisions on when and where to run your software,
and leverage greener energy sources.
you and your organisation can leverage greener energy sources to reduce your CO2 emissions by:

* Build your AI models when carbon emissions are lower
* Deploy software into the cloud in locations that have greener energy sources
* Run software updates at greener energy time windows
* Use data to run hypothetical models to understand how you could start driving impact and reduce emissions
* Building AI models when carbon emissions are lower
* Deploying software into the cloud in locations that have greener energy sources
* Running software updates at greener energy time windows
* Using data to run hypothetical models to understand how you could start driving impact and reduce emissions, drive business cases for change, and create a greener future.

Companies including UBS and Vestas have already deployed the Carbon Aware SDK to build greener software, and you can too!
