Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from data centers have already surpassed those of the global airline industry and are expected to continue rising, highlighting the urgent need to address the carbon footprint of software. This article explores the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) framework, an approach to measuring the environmental impact of software applications. The components of the SCI, its practical applications, and its role in enabling developers, architects, and organizations to create more sustainable software solutions will be explored.
