Choose your cloud region like it matters — because it does

The same workload can emit ten times more CO₂ depending on where it runs. Green Cloud Explorer makes that difference visible.

Green Cloud Explorer helps developers and companies choose cloud regions with sustainability in mind. Data centers already account for a significant share of global electricity consumption — yet most region choices are still made on latency and price alone.

We compare the environmental impact of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OVHcloud and Scaleway regions alongside the traditional metrics you already optimize for: cost, latency and availability. One score, one table, one map — so the greener choice becomes the easy choice.

Sustainability first

Carbon intensity and renewable energy carry 65% of the Green Score. The greenest region should win — visibly.

Fair methodology

Every provider is measured with the same formula and the same public data sources. No sponsorships, no bias.

Real-world metrics

Sustainability never lives alone: latency, availability and pricing sit right next to CO₂ in every comparison.

Today: curated open data

Figures are compiled from public grid data (Electricity Maps, national TSOs), provider sustainability reports and public price lists. The site is fully static — fast, cacheable and carbon-light itself.

All numbers live in versioned JSON files behind a dedicated data layer (lib/data), so they are easy to audit and easy to replace.

Tomorrow: live APIs

The architecture is API-ready. Swapping a JSON import for a live source touches a single file — the UI never changes.
