We use [Ember's](https://ember-climate.org/) Electricity Data Explorer to determine the impact linked to the energy mix. You can also refer to [Electricity Maps' Environmental Impact by Zone map](https://app.electricitymaps.com/map) for a visual representation of the energy mix of each region, including France, Poland, and the Netherlands.

We use [Ember's](https://ember-climate.org/) Electricity Data Explorer to determine the impact linked to the energy mix. The impact related to the energy mix is very different from one country to another and will have a strong influence on the final impact of an offer. You can compare the impact of electricity in different countries on [Electricity Maps' Environmental Impact](https://app.electricitymaps.com/map)

For Elastic Metal offers, the environmental footprint estimation considers the impact of the **manufacturing** and **use** of all the elements that allow the service to work, such as network, cross-IT equipment and stock, and non-IT elements, for example. The AZ you chose in the previous step will impact the **use** part by multiplying each kw consumed by each of these elements by the value indicated.

For usage impact, We base ourselves on an estimate of electricity consumption. This estimation is based on tests carried out by the Hardware team at Scaleway. Each range of offers was tested using different compute configurations to ensure coverage of a variety of possible power consumption setups.

These different compute configurations allow us to simulate enough use cases to have an idea of the power consumption, but the actual consumption will depend on how the server is used in practice.
