Carbon Neutral CDN


Has anyone seen anything like this?

I have been switching over everything I can to providers that use 100% renewable energy / carbon conscious. I figure for a CDN thats a big ask that every datacenter in the network uses renewable energy especially as renewable options around the world are quite limited, but I was surprised to see that there is none, not one.

Does such a thing exist? I could potentially make one find a few dc around the world with renewable energy and build out a carbon neutral CDN. Nah thats a silly idea most likely Ill just stick to cloudflare.

No one is 100% renewable yet, and it will be real hard in asia-pacific. The local grids don't have it built out yet. Even Google, which is pushing hard on this, only has 4% renewable in that region.
