Azure Region

Question

I need to know the details about the regions in Azure which will have the low carbon footprint.

Answer 1

Hello @Muthuselvam M ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft QnA. Happy to answer this query,
Azure has over 60+ regions worldwide and Microsoft has always been committed towards sustainability. Azure, as a part of Microsoft, has been 100 per cent carbon neutral since 2012. This means we are removing as much carbon each year as we emit, either by carbon removal (carbon offsetting) or reducing carbon emissions.
This means that by 2030, we want to remove more carbon each year than we emit. By 2050, our goal is to remove all of our historical carbon emitted – either directly or by electrical consumption – since Microsoft was founded in 1975.

There is a Microsoft Sustainability Calculator you might be able to use here https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi/coi-sustainability.emissions_impact_dashboard try to install and see the impact. It might helps. Thank you
