We measure the impact of 100 hours and consider through [Boavizta estimates](https://www.boavizta.org/) that the impact of the manufacturing of this server is 850 kgCo2e. Also considering a `s3_ratio` of `0.19`, we make the following calculation: + +``` +VolumeManufacturingImpact = (100 / 52560) * 850 * 0.19 = 0.3 kgCO2e +``` + +In the example, the dedicated manufacturing impact of a 150 GB usage for 100 hours is 0.3 kgCo2e. + +### Usage impact + +The calculation of the usage impact of Object Storage volumes is based on: + +- Impact of electricity consumption of servers that host user storage +- Impact of electricity consumption of infrastructure and service management servers by the Scaleway Object Storage team to run the Object Storage service.
