Abstract :
The Copenhagen climate conference 2009 has concluded that we have to change the way how we live. Currently, several carbon management systems are being developed to meet enterprises´ requirement. In addition, a number of carbon footprint calculation tools have been developed to fulfill carbon calculation needs from industries, households and individuals. However, under the current circumstance, it is still a challenging issue on how to take advantage of the latest IT technologies to improve carbon calculations with comprehensive functionality. In this paper, we extend carbon 2.0, the concept proposed by previous studies, and introduce a new carbon framework based on cloud computing. This new framework is massively scalable and can configure and deliver carbon-related services dynamically and on demand. Moreover, it is a real low-carbon framework itself!
