Methodology & Sources
- Per-model factors: energy, carbon and water per output token come from EcoLogits, an open-source framework for estimating the impact of LLM inference. It publishes a range per model; this page uses the midpoint. Each factor is stored with its source and method in the reference database.
- Input vs. output: reading a token (prefill) is compute-bound and far cheaper than generating one (decode), which is memory-bandwidth-bound. Input tokens are counted as 1/R of an output token, with R = 20 as the central value and a declared band of 16–26. This assumption is the largest single source of uncertainty on this page.
- Models without published data: xAI publishes no figures for Grok, and some older models are absent from EcoLogits. Those use a same-class model as a proxy, flagged as such in the reference database.
- VPS: measured CPU usage against the provider's declared figures. The provider states 100% renewable energy, hence 0 kg CO₂e.
Sources: EcoLogits · TokenPowerBench (AAAI) · A Systematic Characterization of LLM Inference on GPUs (arXiv)
Notes & Disclosures
- Scope: The figures reflect estimates for the LLM inference phase and the hosting VPS energy consumption.
- These are estimates, not measurements. The central figure is a midpoint; the declared range is the honest span. Nobody outside the providers can measure this precisely, and the providers do not publish it.
- Work in Progress: This report does not yet account for other impacts, such as third-party services (Apify), network infrastructure, or the hardware lifecycle.
Methodology update, August 2, 2026: environmental factors that had no documented source were replaced with EcoLogits estimates, and the treatment of input tokens was corrected. Figures published before this date are not comparable with the current ones.
