CodeCarbon

Overview

CodeCarbon is an open-source Python library that estimates the carbon emissions of compute. It measures CPU, GPU and RAM power use, combines it with regional grid carbon intensity, and reports emissions for training runs, inference jobs and other workloads. Developers can use the Python API (EmissionsTracker) or run 'codecarbon monitor' from the command line; a public dashboard can collect and display tracked emissions. The project is a non-profit initiative and is free to self-host.

Use cases

• Measure energy use of training runs
• Estimate emissions of inference jobs
• Track regional grid carbon intensity
• Log emissions to a dashboard
