Learn about an industry-leading open source methodology for scaling IT carbon accounting across hardware fleets in this 24-minute conference talk from the Open Compute Project. Discover how Meta and Google are collaborating to address the critical challenge of obtaining accurate, granular, and actionable scope 3 carbon emissions data needed to drive decarbonization across IT hardware supply chains. Explore the comprehensive five-component methodology that combines a data taxonomy for hardware emissions computation, large language models for information extraction and component categorization, strategies for integrating carbon footprint data of varying quality levels, hierarchical aggregations using bills of materials and unit volumes, and emissions reduction modeling based on disaggregated LCA models. Understand how this standardized approach enables cost-effective implementation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) at scale, improving data quality, transparency, and supplier engagement across complex and dynamic IT portfolios. Gain insights from industry experts Mischa Weiss-lijn from Google, Lisa Rivalin from Meta, and Arash Saboori from Microsoft as they present this groundbreaking methodology and planned open source software suite designed to transform how the industry approaches carbon accounting automation.
