Basic tracking of the carbon emissions generated from our Render usage

I'm interested to get a very rough overview regarding the CO2 emissions caused by the infrastructure (web services, databases) we're using in our company. Inspired by projects like https://mlco2.github.io/impact and offerings such as https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-customer-carbon-footprint-tool/?nc1=h_ls or https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sustainability/emissions-impact-dashboard#tabxe9145281a5004622a6f9f7f5899f49f3 .
Render already has capabilities like autoscaling which should help but I am currently lacking the means to see something like a simple graph or a "X CO2eq" number.

Seconded.
Here in South Africa it is not yet part of the carbon tax reporting and liability to included services like Render, but it is expected to be in future as the scope and coverage of the (fairly young) Carbon Tax Act increase.
At a former client we had to report and account for physical goods imports (paper in that case), and the expectation is that it is only a matter of time before service imports will have to be counted as well.
