MARTE13 — Carbon footprint modeling

The Carbon footprint is an interesting property for Hardware resources as well as Software ones. In fact, nowadays it is important to evaluate the CO2 footprint of a system (a laptop, a data center…).
This criteria is depending on the usage of the resources (mainly for the software resources).
We suggest adding a new property « co2Footprint » either in the “ResourceUsage” Stereotype” or in the Resource Stereotype for more general cases.

The unit that measures the carbon Footprint is Kg of carbon dioxide equivalent (KgCO2e) per Year. This implies the addition of a new dimension in the Marte::MeasurementUnits «CarbonUnitKind» with new unit « kgCO2e » as well as a new NFP_Co2footprint that inherits from NFP_Real with unit = kgCO2e.

The value of the CO2Footprint can be proportional to the origin of the energy used to produce the device in kWh eqC02. The proportional factor is country dependent https://app.electricitymaps.com/map
