Google Cloud Carbon Footprint: Energy-based apportionment [...]
summary
Google Cloud ships a Carbon Footprint tool that apportions shared data‑center energy and grid carbon intensity to individual cloud resources so customers see per‑project kg CO2e and can export hourly data. It uses Google’s measured data‑center power usage, regional electricity carbon factors, and allocation rules for VMs, containers, storage and networking to produce hourly granularity footprints and CSV exports. The system runs in Console, was released in October, and surfaces operational emissions for billing units.
