Emission factor summary

Emission intensity for usage of a single CPU in kg CO2e per hour for the Google Cloud Platform data centers in the given location using the assumptions and grid emissions factors available in the source as of date accessed. It is assumed that vCPU utilization is 50%. The EF takes into account Google’s published Carbon Free Energy percentage (CFE %) in each region. The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.
