That's not how carbon impact works. You don't buy "clean" products. You buy products from vendors who have an overall average mix of production that meats a "clean" threshold, and/or buys credits from someone else who exceeds threshold.

In Google's (and for instance Scaleway too), the point is that some of their DCs use renewable energy only, thus are "clean". If however you use the "wrong" Google region which is hosted in Equinix's DCs, which happen to be powered by coal, it's not even remotely close. However Google make the distinction and you can easily check which region is "clean" and which isn't.
