N2 - Today, there is an increasing number of smartphone apps which support users to understand their personal carbon footprint that is being developed by them. But until now there are not many users. In this paper, we discuss the relevant concepts that drive intention of smartphone users to use carbon footprint apps (CFA). To do so, we apply the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and adapt it to the context of carbon footprint apps. Furthermore, we present the design of an empirical study with more than 200 participants. We suggest, to measure and discuss positive and negative effects on the intention to use CFA. This should help in future development of CFA.
