Azure emissions insights capability – Deprecation plan

Azure emissions insights capability is deprecated as of August 29, 2025.

The Azure emissions insights capability is deprecated as part of our ongoing efforts to streamline our offerings and focus on delivering enhanced sustainability solutions through existing platforms and solutions.

We understand that this change can affect your current workflows and processes. If you would like to continue to gather this information, you can onboard to Azure carbon optimization. For more information, see  What is Azure carbon optimization - Azure Carbon Optimization | Microsoft Learn and Export Azure carbon optimization emissions data - Azure Carbon Optimization | Microsoft Learn.

The documentation for Azure emissions insights is retained for reference purposes only and won't be updated further.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the transition, email SDSGitHub@microsoft.com.

The Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability empowers your organization to dive deeper into understanding your IT cloud emissions by allowing users to centralize, query, and analyze Azure emissions data. You can track cloud emissions trends over time by subscriptions and resources, and gain insights into the top emissions contributors.

Explore your Azure emissions data with interactive dashboards, where you can compare, slice, and drill down the data by time and resources. You can also run analytical queries and create custom reports on Azure emissions data within the lakehouses. These reports provide actionable insights to help identify opportunities to reduce your Microsoft cloud emissions and optimize your Azure workloads.

The items deployed with this capability include notebooks and lakehouses that ingest, aggregate, and store data. This solution deploys the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data estate capability alongside the Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability.

The lakehouses in the ESG data estate used by this capability include:

  • ConfigAndDemoData: Stores the demo data.
  • IngestedRawData: Stores raw emissions data and data from external sources.
  • ComputedESGMetrics: Stores aggregated data for emissions analysis.

All resources deployed by this solution are prebuilt and deployed into your Microsoft Fabric workspace. These resources are open, allowing you to customize them to fit your specific needs. The Microsoft Azure emissions insights capability deploys notebooks to ingest and aggregate the data, along with a prebuilt dashboard to view and analyze the emissions data.
