Information processing apparatus capable of acquiring carbon dioxide emission amount, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• recording an execution time of each processing executed by an image forming apparatus or an image forming system including the image forming apparatus;
• acquiring an amount carbon dioxide emission of each processing executed by the image forming apparatus or the image forming system, by using a power consumption amount acquired by the recording;
• acquiring amounts of carbon dioxide emission due to consumables of the image forming apparatus or the image forming system on a separate basis according to a type of processing executed by the image forming apparatus or the image forming system;
• and
• acquiring a carbon dioxide emission amount of the image forming apparatus or the image forming system, by using the amount of carbon dioxide emission acquired by the first acquisition unit and the amounts of carbon dioxide emission acquired by the second acquisition unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus,
