Summary

  • Add a "Measurement tools" subsection to co2-research.md covering carbontracker (UCPH, 2020): what it does, hardware support (Intel CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, Apple silicon), CLI + Python library, and the training-vs-inference caveat. New entry feat: add opkrævningsoverblik project #13 in the Sources list.
  • Add a paragraph in integration.md (API/proxy layer) recommending carbontracker as the measurement layer for self-hosted inference, and noting it can't reach hosted models.
  • Add a one-line caveat in index.md ("What makes it hard") that open measurement tools exist for ML training but are not adopted by inference hosts.
  • CHANGELOG entry under [Unreleased].

Test plan

  • npm run docs:build succeeds locally (verified: 5.15s, no broken-link warnings)
  • On the deployed preview, /projects/climate-nudging/co2-research renders the new subsection and the source list still numbers 1–13
  • The integration.md paragraph links resolve (carbontracker.info, in-doc anchor to §5)
  • The index.md bullet appears under "What makes it hard"

Generated with Claude Code

The CO2 research surveyed academic literature and per-query estimates
but did not mention carbontracker — the most established open-source
ML carbon-footprint tool, originally from UCPH. Add it where it is
directly relevant: as a measurement-tools entry in co2-research.md
(plus a sources citation), as a candidate measurement layer for the
self-hosted API/proxy in integration.md, and as a one-line caveat on
the index "What makes it hard" list noting that such tools exist for
training but are not adopted by hosting providers for inference.
