The Digital Carbon Footprint is Growing!

It’s not just transportation or shopping, but also browsing websites and sending emails that increase your carbon footprint.
Every digital device consumes energy, which leads to CO2 emissions. This can be measured and reduced.

How Big is Your Website’s Carbon Footprint?

You only need 3 pieces of information to find out:


The URL of the site
you want to measure


The % of returning visitors (they leave a smaller footprint)

%


And the country where
the visitors are coming from

Make Your Website More Sustainable!

Every time a web page loads, energy is consumed. The data transfer required to display images, videos, and text significantly contributes to the global CO2 emissions as part of your digital carbon footprint. Reducing your carbon footprint is not only an eco-friendly solution but also improves your site’s energy efficiency. Less energy is required to load your pages, which makes browsing faster, greener, and enhances the user experience for your visitors.

Discover how you can reduce your website’s energy costs and carbon footprint - all at once!

Case study: Optimizing the E.ON Hungária website with the Website Carbon Monitor by Carbon.Crane

As a member of the international E.ON Group, E.ON Hungária is an important player in the Hungarian energy economy. In 2021, the company set a strategic goal for E.ON to become the green energy provider of the future, which involved the transformation of its own operations to meet climate goals. The assessment of operational emissions also included, for the first time in its industry, a digital carbon footprint assessment and the identification of reduction opportunities. To monitor their website (and email campaigns), they have chosen Carbon.Crane’s solution, which has enabled them to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of these communication channels in 2023. In this case study, we present the background and results of the optimization achieved for a website at https://www.eon.hu. Tested website: A website with over 1000 sub-pages is available at https://www.eon.hu Objective: To permanently reduce the website’s carbon footprint by using content optimization and technological options, while maintaining or even improving the user experience. Implementation: The main steps of implementation: measuring the website’s carbon footprint, examining pages and traffic impact, identifying the components responsible for emissions, assessing reduction potential and identifying specific reduction opportunities, initiating the optimization process and testing its effectiveness. Implementation details: At the start […]

 

A zero-waste future and the importance of the digital carbon footprint — through the eyes of an Environmental Engineering major

In the fall semester, Dorottya Vincze was one of the first students to participate in a session of our university education program, CarbonClass. As an Environmental Engineering student, her commitment to sustainability was a given, yet our workshop opened up a whole new perspective for her. How does she use what she learned from us now? We discussed this and much more in a short interview with her. Last November, we launched our new workshop specially designed for university students at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE or, as known in Hungary, BME). When we developed these sessions, in addition to sharing theoretical knowledge and practical experience, it was important for us that participants could try the measurement, monitoring, and modeling tools we use. We also offer a badge as a certificate of the knowledge acquired, which many of our students proudly display on their LinkedIn profiles. Dorottya Vincze has done so, but CarbonClass has given her much more: she has decided to incorporate the learnings and the measurement solutions into her thesis. Dorottya is a 23-year-old student of Environmental Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Prior to BUTE, she studied the same field at […]

 

Carbontale

Once upon a time, pranksters appeared in the not-so-distant realm of the Websites. Although no one saw them because they were hiding, the carbon situation was noticeably getting worse. The websites gathered, they debated, but even the wisest websites with the highest traffic could not find a solution — even though they felt the weight of the problem the most. They searched and searched for a solution among themselves, until one fine day, one of them finally brought good news: in another realm, in the tribe of Developers, there is an all-seeing warrior who can help them with their difficult problem. They immediately wrote him an eDM, and within a blink of an eye, the brave man was already on his way to them. MoniThor, the famous warrior (yes, indeed, the son of the famous Carbon.Crane) soon arrived. He was a tall, powerful warrior, dressed in beautiful, green, eco-friendly clothes, on his magnificent horse. He took out his all-seeing binoculars, which are unique in the world, and immediately began to search for the pranksters. Well, he didn’t have to go far: as a Santa Claus look-alike, the media files had the nerve to sit in the middle of the square […]
