Very important topic that you raise Veikko.
As a software providor and user of several AWS services (hosting, AI services, etc.), I can share the following info:
- We know in detail the amount of computational power we use (expressed in # servers, # tokens, etc.)
- To translate that to carbon emissions, you need to translate it to electricity consumption which is almost impossible as there is a lot of interdependency with the overal load on AWS server
- We know in detail where our servers are based (i.e. in France for CAD) so we know what emission factor to us
There was another community post on this topic. Maybe that might be of help
