The carbon emissions page provides estimates of the carbon emissions associated with your AWS products and services. The estimates include the full range of AWS services, and are provided in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (MTCO2e).

Note

Learn about new features, methodology updates, bug fixes, and more in the Release notes page in the AWS Sustainability console, accessible in the left navigation bar.

Your carbon emissions summary

This section shows your estimated AWS emissions and estimated emissions savings, calculated using both the market-based (MBM) and location-based methods (LBM). MBM reflects supplier-specific emissions intensity after accounting for Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), such as AWS' carbon-free energy purchases. LBM reflects the average emissions intensity of the grid where energy consumption occurs.

Emissions savings are the difference between the carbon footprint emissions calculated using LBM and MBM. For more information about LBM and MBM, see Input data.

Emissions by scope

This section shows your breakdown of emissions by Greenhouse Gas Protocol's three scopes, using both the MBM and LBM methods.

  • Scope 1: Emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

  • Scope 2: Emissions are indirect emissions from the production of purchased energy.

  • Scope 3: Emissions are all indirect emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions (for example, manufacturing of hardware, end-of-life emissions).

For the calculation methodology for each scope see Calculation methodology.

Carbon emissions graphs

These two charts present your carbon emissions estimates over time. It uses a stacked bar chart by default, and you can also see your data in an area chart or table formats by selecting the corresponding buttons in the top right corner of the chart. Similarly, the chart shows your emissions grouped by service by default, but you can see emissions grouped by AWS Region or usage account using the Parameters panel on the right side of the console.
