GreenFrame

Overview

GreenFrame estimates the carbon footprint of a user scenario on a web application. The documentation describes analyses that launch a browser in the cloud, record CPU activity, network traffic, memory footprint and elapsed time, and report emissions in grams of CO2e with a breakdown by scenario. GreenFrame can run the same scenario in a continuous integration pipeline and fail the analysis when the reported footprint exceeds a threshold, an approach the project calls preventing a carbon leak.

Use cases

• Estimate CO2e emissions of a web page or user journey
• Run carbon analyses in CI pipelines
• Block pull requests that increase the carbon footprint
• Compare emissions across releases
