CO2.js
One day, the internet will be powered by renewable energy. Until that day comes, there’ll be a CO2 cost that comes with every byte of data that’s uploaded or downloaded. By being able to calculate these emissions, developers can be empowered to create more efficient, lower carbon apps, websites, and software.

What is CO2.js?
CO2.js is a JavaScript library that enables developers a way to estimate the emissions related to use of their apps, websites, and software.
Why use it?
Being able to estimate the CO2 emissions associated with digital activities can be of benefit to both developers and users.
Internally, you may want to use this library to create a carbon budget for your site or app. It is also useful for inclusion in dashboards and monitoring tools.
For user facing applications, CO2.js could be used to check & block the uploading of carbon intensive files. Or, to present users with information about the carbon impact of their online activities (such as browsing a website).
The above are just a few examples of the many and varied ways CO2.js can be applied to provide carbon estimates for data transfer. If you’re using CO2.js in production we’d love to hear how! Contact us via our website.
Installation
Using NPM
You can install CO2.js as a dependency for your projects using NPM.
bash
npm install @tgwf/co2
Using esm.sh
You can import the CO2.js library into projects using esm.sh.
js
import tgwf from "https://esm.sh/@tgwf/co2@latest";
Using a JS CDN
You can get the latest version of CO2.js using one of the content delivery networks below.
jsDelivr
You can find the package at https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@tgwf/co2.
- CommonJS compatible build
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/cjs/index-node.min.js - ES Modules compatible build
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/esm/index.js - IIFE compatible build
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/iife/index.js
Unpkgd
You can find the package at https://unpkg.com/browse/@tgwf/co2@latest/.
- CommonJS compatible build
https://unpkg.com/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/cjs/index-node.min.js - ES Modules compatible build
https://unpkg.com/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/esm/index.js - IIFE compatible build
https://unpkg.com/@tgwf/co2@latest/dist/iife/index.js
Build it yourself
You can also build the CO2.js library from the source code. To do this:
- Go to the CO2.js repository on GitHub.
- Clone or fork the repository.
- Navigate to the folder on your machine and run
npm run buildin your terminal. - Once the build has finished running, you will find a
/distfolder has been created. Inside you can find:
dist/cjs- A CommonJS compatible build.dist/esm- An ES Modules compatible build.dist/iife- An Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) version of the library.
TypeScript support
Type definitions for CO2.js are published in the DefinitelyTyped project, and are available on NPM at @types/tgwf__co2.
If you want to use type definitions in your project, they should be installed as a devDependency.
npm install --dev @types/tgwf__co2
Marginal and average emissions intensity data
CO2.js includes yearly average grid intensity data from Ember, as well as marginal intensity data from the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). You can find the data in JSON and CommonJS Module format in the data/output folder.
Using emissions intensity data
You can import annual, country-level marginal or average grid intensity data into your projects directly from CO2.js. For example, if we wanted to use the average grid intensity for Australia in our project, we could use the code below:
js
import { averageIntensity } from "@tgwf/co2";
const { data } = averageIntensity;
const { AUS } = data;
console.log({ AUS });
All countries are represented by their respective Alpha-3 ISO country code.
Publishing to NPM
We use np to publish new versions of this library to NPM. To do this:
- First login to NPM by running the
npm logincommand in your terminal. - Then run
npx np <VERSION>. npwill run several automated steps to publish the new package to NPM.- If everything runs successfully, you can then add release notes to GitHub for the newly published package.
