11# Carbon Aware SDK  
2+ The Carbon Aware SDK is a toolset to help you measure the carbon emissions of your software, 
3+ in turn helping you ** measure and reduce your software's carbon emissions** .
24
5+ By knowing the carbon emissions of the energy that powers your applications, 
6+ you and your organisation can make decisions on when and where to run your software, 
7+ and leverage greener energy sources.  
8+ 
9+ *  Build your AI models when carbon emissions are lower
10+ *  Deploy software into the cloud in locations that have greener energy sources
11+ *  Run software updates at greener energy time windows 
12+ *  Use data to run hypothetical models to understand how you could start driving impact and reduce emissions

14+ Companies including UBS and Vestas have already deployed the Carbon Aware SDK to build green software, and you can too!
