The Carbon Footprint of Bioinformatics [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Bioinformatic research relies on large-scale computational infrastructures which have a nonzero carbon footprint but so far, no study has quantified the environmental costs of bioinformatic tools and commonly run analyses. In this work, we estimate the carbon footprint of bioinformatics (in kilograms of CO2 equivalent units ...

Harmonizing Corporate Carbon Footprints [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Abstract Global greenhouse gas emissions need to reach net-zero around mid-century to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This decarbonization challenge has, inter alia, increased the political and societal pressure on companies to disclose their carbon footprints. As a response, numerous companies announced roadmaps to become carbon neutral or even

A Carbon Footprint of an Office Building [PDF]
Energies, 2011 Current office buildings are becoming more and more energy efficient. In particular the importance of heating is decreasing, but the share of electricity use is increasing. When the CO2 equivalent emissions are considered, the CO2 emissions from embodied energy make up an important share of the total, indicating that the building materials have a high ...

What are Carbon Footprint and Carbon Footprint Calculators?
Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2023 Carbon Footprint (CF) calculations have recently drawn considerable attention in order to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Adapting to environmental consequences of climate change will require collaborative action, which involves every stakeholder, particularly libraries. CF calculators are digital tools for revealing and reducing CF.

Carbon Footprint of Tonsillectomy
The SurgeonIntroduction Healthcare is responsible for 5.4% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. Emissions in surgery is a relatively unexplored area; in particular, this hasn’t yet been looked at as a whole in ENT in the UK. Aims Quantify the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from a tonsillectomy and assess the proportion of each source’s contribution ...

FootPrinter: Quantifying Data Center Carbon Footprint
Companion of the 15th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance EngineeringData centers have become an increasingly significant contributor to the global carbon footprint. In 2021, the global data center industry was responsible for around 1% of the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. With more resource-intensive workloads, such as Large Language Models, gaining popularity, this percentage is expected to increase further ...

, 2021 Carbon footprinting (CF) measures GHG associated with the manufacture of products through: raw material sourcing, processing, packaging and distribution and waste treatment. The carbon footprint is a measure of the exclusive total carbon dioxide emissions that is directly and indirectly caused by an activity or is accumulated over the life stages of a ...

Handling ‘carbon footprint’ in orthopaedics
The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of EnglandThe National Health Service contributes 4%-5% of England and Wales' greenhouse gases and a quarter of all public sector waste. Between 20% and 33% of healthcare waste originates from a hospital's operating room, and up to 90% of waste is sent for costly and unneeded hazardous waste processing.
