Análise, medição e redução do impacto da emissão de carbono em software de grande porte: aplicação prática na empresa Amadeus

Abstract

This work aimed to develop an infrastructure for analyzing, measuring, and enabling decision-making to reduce the carbon footprint of large-scale software applications in a corporate context. The project was carried out as part of a technical internship at Amadeus, based on the Carmen project — a measurement engine designed to assess the carbon emissions generated by the organization’s applications. Throughout the project, functionalities were implemented for automated data collection, the development of an interactive web interface using Angular to display environmental metrics, as well as integration with the Impact Framework, a tool developed by the Green Software Foundation. The adopted methodology stood out by enabling measurements based on real operational data, overcoming recurring limitations identified in the literature, such as the scarcity of empirical data and low replicability in enterprise environments. The results demonstrate the technical feasibility of the solution and its potential to support strategic decisions guided by digital sustainability. This work also paves the way for future improvements, such as scenario simulations and comparative analyses of different contexts.
