Carbon emissions

You can visualize the carbon emission data generated when using services of the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, allowing you to track emission trends. You can also estimate the expected carbon emissions that could have been reduced by using Samsung Cloud Platform instead of an on‑premise data center, and review the predicted emissions based on current usage. Carbon emissions are expressed in kgCO2eq (kilograms of CO2 equivalent).

information
Carbon emission data is automatically linked when a new service is created within the Samsung Cloud Platform.

Check carbon emissions

You can view the carbon emissions per service in the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

To check carbon emissions by service, follow these steps.

  1. All services > Financial Management > Cost Management Click the menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of Cost Management.
  2. Service Home Click the Carbon Emissions menu in the left-hand side menu of the page. 2. Navigate to the Carbon Emissions page.
  3. In the period setting area at the top right, set the timeframe to view carbon emissions. 3. The carbon emissions for the selected period are displayed.
Reference
The period setting area at the top of the page offers two query methods: this month and direct (custom period), and clicking the ℹ️ icon next to it allows you to view guidance on the carbon emission calculation criteria.

Check this month’s carbon emissions

In the period selection area of the Carbon Emissions page, click the This Month button.

Reference
  • Data is not displayed on the 1st of each month. * (based on Asia/Seoul, GMT +09:00)
  • The month-end forecast is an estimate based on current emissions.
information
  • Carbon emissions are rounded after summing the fractional parts for each service group, so the total may differ.
  • Indirect service group: includes emissions from all other usage services except Compute and Storage services.
