The energy mix can be very different from one country to another depending on the origin of the electricity used. We can see on [Electricity Maps' Environmental Impact by Zone map](https://app.electricitymaps.com/map) the significant differences that there can be between countries. - - -The estimation is represented by three green leaf icons: - - - When the three leaves are dark green, this means that the AZ has the lowest quantity of CO2e emitted per kW consumed, and each kw consumed in your Elastic Metal has a lower impact. - - When two leaves are dark green, this means that the AZ has a low quantity of CO2e emitted per kW consumed - - When only one leaf is dark green, the AZ has a bigger quantity of CO2e emitted per kW consumed - - - When you hover your cursor over the leaves or when you select the AZ, you can see the detail of the environmental footprint estimation in kgCO₂e/kw. - - - - The AZ footprint estimation is a straightforward calculation of CO₂ emissions per kW of electricity consumed, based on the energy mix and the data center’s Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) specific to that AZ. For example, in an AZ like PAR-2, each kW consumed may have an impact of 0.065 kgCO₂e.

- - Meanwhile, the offer footprint estimation is a more complex calculation that combines the AZ-specific data with additional factors relevant to the specific offer. This calculation considers not just energy consumption but also other elements, which are outlined in the [Environmental Footprint calculation breakdown](/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-calculator) documentation page, to reflect a comprehensive impact specific to the offer rather than just adding up kW-based impacts. - - -## Elastic Metal offers footprint estimation - -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 in addition to the manufacturing and use of the server itself.

These updates ensure improved accuracy and transparency. - - -## Methodology overview - -Our calculation methodology was developed in collaboration with the green IT specialist consultancy firm [IJO](https://ijo.tech/index.html), ensuring a rigorous and expert-validated approach to assessing environmental impact accurately and transparently. - -Our Methodology is based on the [ADEME (French Government Agency for Ecological Transition) Product Category Rules (PCR) for Datacenter and Cloud services](https://librairie.ademe.fr/produire-autrement/6105-methodological-standard-for-the-environmental-assessment-of-datacenter-it-hosting-services-and-cloud-services.html), which provide a standardized framework for calculating and reporting the environmental impact of data centers and cloud services. These rules are designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability in the assessment of environmental footprints across the industry. - -The ADEME PCR specifies the methodology for conducting [Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#life-cycle-analysis-lca) for data center operations, which includes the evaluation of energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, resource usage, and other environmental impacts associated with the lifecycle of data center infrastructures and cloud services. This lifecycle covers all stages from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and transportation, to the use and end-of-life disposal of data center equipment. -The stages of the lifecycle that are really significant in the total impact of a server are its manufacturing and its use. We will therefore focus on these two stages in the rest of this documentation. - -By adhering to PCR guidelines, we provide reliable and standardized environmental impact data. This facilitates better decision-making for both providers and consumers of data center and cloud services, as it allows for clear comparisons and informed choices regarding sustainability. - -In addition, to provide an even more comprehensive and realistic assessment, we have extended this methodology to include several additional elements integral to our operations' overall environmental impact. - -These additional elements cover: - -- **Cross-functional IT equipment** - Servers and storage devices dedicated to the enterprise as a whole, managing offers, or equipment held in stock. This includes: - - **Enterprise servers and storage devices** - IT equipment dedicated to Scaleway's internal digital services - - **Servers and storage devices for managing offers** - IT equipment for management and supervision of Scaleway offers - - **Servers and storage equipment in stock** - IT equipment in stock and waiting to be commissioned -- **Non-IT cross-functional elements** - all components necessary for the smooth operation of our company, such as office facilities, employee transportation, and other logistics. Refer to our [2024 Environmental Impact Report](https://www.scaleway.com/en/environmental-leadership/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=default) for more information about these components. - -By integrating these additional factors into the PCR Data center and cloud methodology, we ensure that our calculations reflect a more complete and transparent view of our environmental impact. - - - - -## Detailed calculation breakdown - - - -The final calculation of the environmental impact considers several critical factors to provide a thorough and accurate assessment. This includes considering the manufacturing processes for data centers and related technical components, network machines, and servers directly used by customers. Additionally, the assessment accounts for servers dedicated to IT tools and those maintained in stock. - -The usage phase also includes every data center [Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#pue-power-usage-effectiveness), which is multiplied by the impact related to electricity consumption of network servers, customer-used servers, and servers used for transversal IT tools. This approach ensures that both the direct and indirect energy consumption associated with data center operations is accurately represented. - -Our calculations of the impact of electricity consumption are based on a 'location-based' approach, although we have PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) type contracts for each of our data centers, we have chosen not to take them into account in accordance with ADEME guidelines. - -Furthermore, the calculation will integrate the environmental impact of all elements necessary for the proper functioning of the enterprise. This includes the office premises, employee transportation, and other logistical aspects. - -The details of the calculations for each of these elements are detailed below. - -### Definition of the variables - - - -All calculations will use the following variables: - - - The acronyms used below are based on the French phrases for these terms. - - -- [dU](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#du-duration-of-use): duration of use of the equipment included in the study -- [DDV](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#ddvdc-data-center-lifespan): lifespan -- [PuissEqt](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#puisseqt-rated-power): rated power of the equipment -- [PuissCommDC](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#puisscommdc): proportion of the data center's installed power reserved by customers -- [FE](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#emission-factor): emission factor -- [%mutualization](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#mutualization): mutualization factor - - - Refer to the [Environmental Footprint concepts page](/environmental-footprint/concepts/) for more information about each of the concepts above. - - -### Data center and technical environment - - - -To calculate the impact of the data center and the technical environment, it is necessary to have either a preliminary study carried out by the hardware suppliers and data center administrators or a quote including all the components. Without such a study, we have chosen to use [ADEME data](https://data.ademe.fr/) to evaluate the impact of the construction of the data center and technical environment (air conditioning and power supply system). - -To allocate the environmental impact of the manufacturing of the data center and the technical environment we multiply the proportion of the data center lifespan that corresponds to the device's usage time by the specific equipment's power usage relative to the total power reserved by customers in the data center by the data center emission factor. - -#### Calculation example - -For the use of an Elastic Metal server with a power of 110w for 100 hours in a 2000m2 data center which has a power of 3000 kw (3e+6w) and a lifespan of 25 years (219 000 hours) and considering via ADEME estimates that the impact of the manufacturing of this data center and its technical environment is 3.3e+6 kgCo2e, we make the following calculation: - -```math -DC&TEenv = (100 / 219 000) * (110 / 3e+6w) * 3,3e+6 = 0,055 kgCO2e -``` - -Therefore 0,011 kgCO2e is added to the total manufacturing impact for the use of this server. - -### Network - - - -To calculate the environmental impact of your large-scale use of the products, we include part of the impact of manufacturing the network machines that are necessary for the operation of our products. To do this, we divide the impact of manufacturing network equipment over its entire lifespan and attribute this impact based on the energy consumption of the equipment used in order to assign a proportional share of the environmental impact to each piece of equipment. Finally, we estimate the impact of manufacturing the equipment using the [boavizta database](https://boavizta.org/). - -For the use of network machines induced by your use of Scaleway products, we take into account the energy consumption of the network machines and multiply it by the emission factor linked to the production of this energy that we recover thanks to the [EMBER database](https://ember-climate.org/). We then attribute this share of impact to each machine according to its energy consumption. - -### Customer servers - -To accurately calculate the environmental impact of each server used directly for Scaleway offers, we will implement specific allocation rules tailored to each product. These rules will ensure that the impact is precisely distributed according to the unique usage patterns and resource demands of different products. - -Each product will have its own set of criteria to allocate the environmental footprint, considering factors such as server utilization rates, operational timeframes, and the specific technical requirements of the product. By customizing the allocation rules for each offering, we can ensure a more accurate and fair representation of the environmental impact associated with each product. - -#### Bare Metal - - - -For bare metal servers, the allocation of environmental impact is straightforward due to the direct association between a user and a server. The environmental impact of a bare metal server is entirely attributed to the user utilizing it. This encompasses the energy consumption during its operation, as well as a portion of the impact from the server's manufacturing process. - -The manufacturing impact is prorated based on the server's lifespan and the duration of its use by the customer. By dividing the total manufacturing impact by the expected lifetime of the server and then allocating it according to the specific usage period, we ensure that each user is accountable for their fair share of the server's overall environmental footprint. - - - Currently, our calculations for Elastic Metal GPU servers do not include the environmental impact of GPU manufacturing due to insufficient data from the manufacturer. While the impact of CPUs, RAM, disk, and energy consumption is accounted for, the absence of GPU manufacturing data means the figures provided today are underestimated. - - We will update our methodology as soon as more reliable data on GPU manufacturing becomes available. - - -#### Calculation example - -For the use of an Elastic Metal server, with a lifespan of 6 years (52 560 hours) and power of 110w, for 100 hours and considering via Boavizta estimates that the impact of the manufacturing of this server is 850 kgCo2e, we make the following calculation: - -```math -ServerManufacturing = (100 / 52560) * 850 = 1,62 kgCO2e -``` - -Therefore 1,62 kgCO2e is added to the total manufacturing impact for the use of this server. - -### Cross-IT equipment & stock - - - -Our calculation will also incorporate the environmental footprint of all transversal tools essential for the functioning of the Scaleway. - -To determine their manufacturing impact, we add the environmental footprint of each machine hosting these transversal tools over the duration of customer usage. This aggregated impact will then be divided by the total number of customers. A "customer" is defined as an active organization, that is to say an organization which consumes and which is billed. - -To determine stock manufacturing impact, we will divide the sum of the impact of all hardware components in stock by the total number of servers. - - -### Non-IT cross-functional elements - - - -Finally, our comprehensive environmental impact calculation will include the "Non-IT cross-functional elements." This category encompasses the environmental footprint of all other essential components required for Scaleway's operations, such as office facilities, employee transportation, the company cafeteria, and various logistical aspects. - -To integrate this into the overall calculation, we will first get the total environmental impact of these non-IT elements from Scaleway Impact report. This total impact will then be divided by the number of customers. This approach ensures that every customer shares a portion of the environmental burden associated with maintaining the broader operational infrastructure, thereby providing a complete and transparent picture of Scaleway's environmental footprint. - -### Water consumption - -Providing water consumption metrics is essential in the context of cloud services hosted in data centers because water plays a key role in cooling systems, which ensure the optimal operating temperatures for servers. The amount of water consumed depends on factors such as the temperature, humidity, and the design of the cooling system. For instance, in hot and dry climates, water consumption tends to be higher. At Scaleway, we choose our data centers also taking this criterion into account to reduce water consumption as much as possible. - -This data is availlable for: -* FR-PAR-1 -* FR-PAR-2 -* FR-PAR-3 -* NL-AMS-1 - -For each Scaleway product or service in these Availability Zones, we calculate the water consumption based on its energy consumption. - -To estimate the water consumption by multiplying the total energy consumption for each service by the [Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE)](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#water-usage-effectiveness), as such: - -```math -Water Consumption (liters) = Energy Consumption (kWh) × WUE (liters/kWh) -``` - -#### Calculation example - -At Scaleway we currently collect power consumption metrics for Elastic Metal servers. Using an Elastic Metal server as an example, we can assume that: - -- A server consumes 500 kWh of energy per month. -- The WUE of the data center (PAR-DC5) is 0,014 liters/kWh. - -Therefore, the total water consumption for the server would be: - -``` -500 kWh × 0.014 liters/kWh = 7 liters/month -``` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-integration.mdx b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-integration.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 53db45290e..0000000000 --- a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-integration.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,59 +0,0 @@ ---- -meta: - title: Environmental footprint calculator product integration - description: Discover the Scaleway Products that integrate the Environmental Footprint calculator. -content: - h1: Environmental footprint calculator product integration - paragraph: Discover the Scaleway Products that integrate the Environmental Footprint calculator. -tags: environmental-footprint calculator -dates: - validation: 2025-01-14 - posted: 2025-01-14 -categories: - - environmental-footprint ---- - -The following tables provide details about the Scaleway products that currently integrate the [environmental footprint calculator](/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-calculator) and the products that will integrate it in the future, by order of integration. - -## Product integration available - -| **Product Name** | **Environmental Footprint calculator available** | -|----------------------------|---------------------------------| -| Elastic Metal | **Yes** | - -## Planned product integration - -| **Product Name** | **Environmental Footprint calculator available** | -|----------------------------|---------------------------------| -| Apple Silicon | **Not integrated yet** | -| Dedibox | **Not integrated yet** | -| Instances | **Not integrated yet** | -| GPU Instances | **Not integrated yet** | -| Kubernetes | **Not integrated yet** | -| Container Registry | **Not integrated yet** | -| Managed Inference | **Not integrated yet** | -| Generative APIs | **Not integrated yet** | -| Object Storage | **Not integrated yet** | -| Block Storage | **Not integrated yet** | -| Managed Databases for PostgreSQL and MySQL | **Not integrated yet** | -| Serverless Functions | **Not integrated yet** | -| Serverless Containers | **Not integrated yet** | -| Serverless Jobs | **Not integrated yet** | -| Serverless SQL Databases | **Not integrated yet** | -| VPC | **Not integrated yet** | -| Public Gateways | **Not integrated yet** | -| Load Balancers | **Not integrated yet** | -| Domains and DNS | **Not integrated yet** | -| IPAM | **Not integrated yet** | -| Edge Services | **Not integrated yet** | -| Transactional Email | **Not integrated yet** | -| IoT Hub | **Not integrated yet** | -| Web Hosting | **Not integrated yet** | -| Cockpit | **Not integrated yet** | -| Secret Manager | **Not integrated yet** | -| NATS | **Not integrated yet** | -| Queues | **Not integrated yet** | -| Redis™ | **Not integrated yet** | -| Topics and Events | **Not integrated yet** | -| Quantum | **Not integrated yet** | - diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/index.mdx b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/index.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 7e30de5598..0000000000 --- a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/additional-content/index.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,9 +0,0 @@ ---- -meta: - title: Environmental Footprint Additional Content - description: Discover Scaleway's Environmental Footprint Additional Content -content: - h1: Environmental Footprint Additional Content - paragraph: Environmental Footprint Additional Content ---- - diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/concepts.mdx b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/concepts.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 5251a8162c..0000000000 --- a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/concepts.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,84 +0,0 @@ ---- -meta: - title: Environmental Footprint - Concepts - description: Understand the fundamental concepts of the Environmental Footprint calculator at Scaleway. -content: - h1: Concepts - paragraph: Understand the fundamental concepts of the Environmental Footprint calculator at Scaleway. -tags: environmental-footprint impact environment datacentre -dates: - validation: 2024-09-11 ---- - -## DDV_DC (Data center Lifespan) - -This value indicates the lifespan of a data center; if the value is not available, it can be estimated. For example `DDV_DC` = 25 years. - -## dU (Duration of use) - -As defined by the [ADEME Product Category Rules (PCR)](https://librairie.ademe.fr/produire-autrement/6105-methodological-standard-for-the-environmental-assessment-of-datacenter-it-hosting-services-and-cloud-services.html), the dU or duration of use, is the measurement that indicates the time a Scaleway resource such as an Elastic Metal server is used. - -## Emission factor - -An emission factor is a coefficient that relates the amount of CO2eq emitted to a specific activity that generates that emission. -This coefficient is used at Scaleway to estimate CO2eq emissions from various sources. - -## Energy mix - -The distribution of various energy sources used to meet a region or country's energy needs. An energy mix typically includes a combination of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), renewable sources (such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal), and sometimes nuclear energy. - -## Environmental impact - -Environmental impact refers to the set of effects that a human activity or product has on the environment. - -In the context of digital services, and more specifically cloud infrastructures such as Scaleway's, this impact includes several main factors: - - - **CO2 emissions (kgCO2eq)** - This is the amount of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) emitted directly or indirectly by the manufacture, use, and management of servers and other equipment necessary for the operation of cloud services. CO2 emissions are measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kgCO2eq). - - **Energy consumption** - This is the electrical energy consumed by servers and associated infrastructures (networks, cooling, etc.) to ensure the proper functioning of cloud services. Energy consumption is a key factor because the production and use of electricity are often associated with CO2 emissions, depending on the energy sources used (fossil, renewable, etc.). - - **Water consumption** - Water is used in data center cooling systems to keep servers at an optimal temperature. Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) is an indicator that measures the amount of water used in relation to the energy efficiency of a data center. - -In short, the environmental impact is an estimated measure all the resources consumed and emissions generated by an activity or product, with the aim of minimizing negative impacts on the environment and promoting more sustainable practices. - -## Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) -Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a method of assessing the environmental impact of a product, service or process throughout its life cycle, from the extraction of materials to the end of life. - -Typical stages of LCA include: - - Extraction and processing of raw materials - - Product manufacturing - - Distribution and transportation - - Consumer use - - End of life (recycling, disposal, etc.) - -For each stage of the life cycle, the environmental impact is assessed based on different indicators, such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, waste production, etc. - -In the context of Scaleway, the LCA can be used to assess the environmental impact of the entire life cycle of cloud services, including the extraction of raw materials for the manufacturing of hardware equipment, energy production to power data centers, the manufacturing and distribution of IT equipment, the use of cloud services by customers, and the end of life of equipment. Data on energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, waste production, etc., must also be collected and analyzed for each stage of the life cycle. - -## Mutualization - -This factor is equivalent to [PuissEqt](/environmental-footprint/concepts/#puisseqt-rated-power) and PuissDisponibleDC, which is the nominal power available for Scaleway at the data center. For shared equipment, such as management servers and network equipment of the data center, this factor is applied. - -## PuissCommDC - -This value is defined by the ADEME PCR as the proportion of a data center's installed power reserved for users. - -## PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) - -PUE is a key indicator used to measure the energy efficiency of data centers. It was created by [The Green Grid](https://www.thegreengrid.org/), an organization dedicated to improving the energy efficiency of data centers. - -The PUE represents the ratio between the total amount of energy consumed by a data center and the energy used directly to power IT equipment (servers, storage, networks). - -It is a key factor in estimating the energy efficiency of data centers and, by extension, their environmental impact. The lower the PUE, the more energy-efficient the data center, which translates into lower greenhouse gas emissions and better sustainability performance. - -## PuissEqt (Rated power) - -This value is defined by the ADEME PCR as how much electrical power a particular device or piece of equipment consumes while it is operating. If a server requires 500 watts of power to run, then the PuissEqt for this server is 500 watts. - -## Water Usage Effectiveness - -Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) is a metric used to measure the water consumption efficiency of a data center. It is defined as the amount of water used by a data center in liters, per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy consumed. - -The calculation is performed using the following formula: - -``` -WUE = Total Water Used (liters) ÷ Total IT Energy Consumption (kWh)​ -``` \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-foot-dashboard.webp b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-foot-dashboard.webp deleted file mode 100644 index 18e583a785..0000000000 Binary files a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-foot-dashboard.webp and /dev/null differ diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-footprint-order-summary.webp b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-footprint-order-summary.webp deleted file mode 100644 index 474e5d0e5e..0000000000 Binary files a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-footprint-order-summary.webp and /dev/null differ diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-monthly-report-detailed.webp b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-monthly-report-detailed.webp deleted file mode 100644 index 4f44372802..0000000000 Binary files a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-monthly-report-detailed.webp and /dev/null differ diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-report-glossary.webp b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-report-glossary.webp deleted file mode 100644 index 0960259057..0000000000 Binary files a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/assets/scaleway-env-report-glossary.webp and /dev/null differ diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/index.mdx b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/index.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 2a05a218d6..0000000000 --- a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/index.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,9 +0,0 @@ ---- -meta: - title: Environmental Footprint How tos - description: Discover Scaleway's Environmental Footprint How tos -content: - h1: Environmental Footprint How tos - paragraph: Environmental Footprint How tos ---- - diff --git a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/track-monthly-footprint.mdx b/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/track-monthly-footprint.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 90b946c633..0000000000 --- a/pages/environmental-footprint/environmental-footprint/how-to/track-monthly-footprint.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,54 +0,0 @@ ---- -meta: - title: How to understand and track your monthly environmental footprint report - description: Learn to interpret and track your monthly environmental footprint report easily. -content: - h1: How to understand and track your monthly environmental footprint report - paragraph: Learn to interpret and track your monthly environmental footprint report easily. -tags: environmental-footprint impact environment datacenter -dates: - validation: 2024-10-30 - posted: 2024-10-30 -categories: - - environmental-footprint ---- - - - -- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com) -- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization - - - The monthly report shows the total environmental footprint of your Scaleway Organization.
