What our servers haven't put into the air
Many apps run on standard cloud regions; Forkin's core fleet doesn't - it runs on providers with renewable contracts or near-zero-carbon grids. Below is the cumulative CO2e we've avoided since launch - computed from conservative fleet power assumptions and provider data.
kg CO₂e avoided
This is an avoided-emissions figure against a baseline — not a neutrality claim. Forkin is not carbon-neutral and buys no offsets: we minimise emissions at the source and report the residual. How this is calculated
kWh consumed
Conservative idle estimate — we round up our own draw, never down.
Days running
Since the first server in the fleet was provisioned.
Active servers
Each one logs its own hourly carbon row.

Where you fit
Your part in this
There is no per-user attribution math here - that would be dishonest and we'd rather not invent a number. What's true is simpler: every paid subscription helps pay for EU/EEA infrastructure selected for renewable contracts or low-carbon grids instead of cheaper grey-grid alternatives. The number above grows because you're here.
Methodology
How the number is calculated
Every hour, a cron job on our pipeline server appends one row per active server to a public ledger table. Each row is computed as:
kWh × (counterfactual_grid_intensity − our_provider_intensity)Counterfactual grid intensities are 12-month averages from electricitymaps.com; our provider intensities come from provider-published data or the regional grid where a provider-specific figure is not available (for example Hetzner renewable contracts, Scaleway France's low-carbon grid, Hyperstack Iceland hydro/geothermal, and Verda/DataCrunch Finland).
We use conservative fleet power assumptions, including idle draw where exact per-service metering is unavailable. That overestimates our own emissions and understates the savings claim. The figure is avoided emissions against the counterfactual baseline above, not a carbon-neutrality claim: we are not carbon-neutral, we buy no offsets, and we report the residual rather than cancelling it. The endpoint behind this page (/impact/totals) returns totals only.
