NEW YORK and PARIS, April 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the battle against climate change, the tech industry's carbon footprint has emerged as a silent yet significant contributor to global emissions sparking innovative approaches to decarbonizing software.
A just published study shows that using CAST’s Highlight’s first-of-a-kind Green Software Insights capability and the recent SCI Specification by the Green Software Foundation, CAST was able to demonstrate that decarbonizing a single software application can reduce annual CO2 emissions by an estimated 400 kg—a testament to the tangible impact of green software practices. The optimized version of the application also showed a 5% improvement in resource usage, reducing expense on cloud resources.
This study is yet another proof point in CAST’s commitment to address human-caused climate change following on the release of the new CO2 Emission Estimator, Metafinanz Green IT partnership, and the pledge to donate profits from Green Software Insights to non-profit organizations supporting sustainability research and addressing human-caused global warming.
