Grasp - A collection of calculations to convert software's carbon emission into something easier to "grasp"
This is a collection of Impact Framework Plugins with the goal to make the carbon metric, calculated before in the pipeline, easier to understand. It is split into two types of metrics: impact metrics and comparison metrics
Every calculation in this repo is carefully researched and validated. You can find more detailed information about the background of each metric with sources in the wiki.
You found a more current calculation to one of our metrics or want to propose another metric? Please consider open an issue
These plugins take the carbon emission and show what kind of real world impact it can have on the world and its people
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) | The amount of damages (in $) that can occur after emitting this amount of carbon (with different years) |
| Death | The amount of deaths that can occur after emitting this amount of carbon |
| Displacement | The amount of people that have to change their place of living after emitting this amout of carbon |
These plugins take the carbon emissions and compare it with the emissions of a real world product or action.

| Bananas | The amount of bananas that emit the same amount of carbon |
| Chocolate | The amount of chocolate bars (with different types) that emit the same amount of carbon |
| Coffee | the amount of cups of coffee (with different varieties) that emit the same amount of carbon |
| Distance | The distance you can travel (with different forms of transportation) while emitting the same amount of carbon |
You can install this collection by running the following command:
