Share the canonical public link.
Dmitry Maslennikov published a roundup of 29 European cloud providers on May 13, 2026, evaluating verified carbon neutrality status. Only Leafcloud in the Netherlands and Infomaniak in Switzerland achieved formal carbon negative or neutral certification. Hetzner relies on 100% hydropower for its German operations but lacks third-party verification for full neutrality claims. Scaleway signed the Climate Neutral DC Pact yet falls short of audited standards. Maslennikov highlighted that 27 providers use green marketing without formal validation as of May 2026.
