CarbonRunner

CarbonRunner is a tool designed to make running GitHub Actions more environmentally friendly. It shifts your GitHub Actions to the lowest-emission regions across multiple clouds, making your workflows 90% greener and 25% cheaper. By using CarbonRunner, you can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your CI/CD pipelines.

Benefits

CarbonRunner offers several key benefits:

• Reduced Carbon Emissions: By using CarbonRunner, you can reduce your carbon emissions by up to 90%. This is achieved by running your jobs in regions with the lowest grid intensity, which means less reliance on fossil fuels.
• Cost Savings: In addition to being greener, CarbonRunner is also 25% cheaper than traditional GitHub Actions runners. This makes it a cost-effective choice for both small and large projects.
• Easy Integration: Switching to CarbonRunner is as simple as a one-line code change in your workflow file. This makes it easy to integrate into your existing CI/CD pipelines without any major overhauls.
• Carbon-Aware Infrastructure: CarbonRunner uses servers in regions with a grid intensity of less than 100gCO2eq/kWh. This ensures that your jobs are run in the most environmentally friendly regions available.

Use Cases

CarbonRunner is ideal for a variety of use cases, including:

• AI Workflows: Running AI training and inference jobs in the most eco-friendly regions.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Making your continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines more sustainable.
• Video Processing: Running video rendering and processing jobs with a lower carbon footprint.
• Gaming: Deploying and testing gaming applications in environmentally friendly regions.

Additional Information

CarbonRunner is on a mission to reduce the carbon emissions of the internet. By using their infrastructure, you are contributing to a more sustainable future. Currently, CarbonRunner is 13 times better than any GitHub runners in terms of carbon emissions, with an average grid intensity of 26gCO2eq/kWh. This makes it the world's first carbon-aware runner, setting a new standard for sustainable computing.
