One typical AI query + response for the Use Case
Estimate the environmental impact of your AI usage
Based on Google's comprehensive production measurements (2024) and EPA eGRID 2022/Green-e 2024 residual data. Energy model calibrated for GPT-4o baseline, with median use case targeting ~0.03g CO2e (market-based). Includes full system overhead: AI accelerators, CPU/DRAM, idle capacity, and data center PUE.
Location-based carbon uses regional grid intensity. Market-based carbon reflects renewable energy procurement: GCP uses actual CFE% per region, Azure/AWS use residual-anchored heuristic.
