# 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**.

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.

* 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

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

# How Does This Work?
You can reduce the carbon footprint of your application by just running things
at different times and in different locations. That is because not all
electricity is produced in the same way. Most is produced through burning fossil
