Does anyone know where I can buy carbon offset credits for a server instead of whole business basis?
Carbon offsets symbolically rather than literally offset the carbon that is emitted by the power-sources used to run a car, household or in your case a server, by supporting renewable energy projects that will produce as much clean energy as the dirty energy that’s being used. The idea is that a clean energy source will exist to provide the same service that you’re currently receiving from a carbon-emitting energy source, even though you won’t necessarily be using the clean energy directly. With that said, the short answer to your question is that no matter what carbon offsets you choose to purchase, they are for the server if you assign them to that, or for a car or your overhead lighting if you purchase them for that purpose. It is the tons of CO2 being offset that matters, so you’ll need to calculate the tons of CO2 that are used by the power sources running your servers to determine how much CO2 to cover with your offsets.
