AWS launches Sustainability console for carbon emissions tracking

AWS Launches Sustainability Console

AWS has introduced the AWS Sustainability console, a free, standalone service that provides customers with insights into their environmental impact associated with AWS usage. This service expands on the features of the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) in the AWS Billing console, allowing sustainability professionals to view carbon emissions data without needing billing permissions.

The AWS Sustainability console offers estimated carbon emissions calculated using both market-based (MBM) and location-based (LBM) methods, available by AWS Region, service, and emissions scope (1, 2, 3). Additional features include improved customizable visualizations, the ability to set the start month of your fiscal year, customizable CSV reports, and API/SDK access for integrating emissions data into existing workflows.

The service is currently available in the US East (N. Virginia) region and provides carbon emissions data for all AWS commercial regions. Access the service globally through the AWS Management Console.
