Carbon Emissions and Energy Consumption Across the Value Chain
- Development and Design: Electricity consumption in offices and development environments.
- Hosting and Data Processing: High electricity use in data centers (servers, cooling, networks).
- Content Delivery: Energy for global networks and CDN infrastructure.
- End-User Consumption: Power used by end-user devices and networking technology.
- Maintenance and Updates: Electricity for updates and continuous integration.
- Disposal: Energy for recycling and waste management.
The largest energy consumers are typically data centers and network infrastructure, followed by end-user device consumption. Sustainability initiatives, therefore, focus on energy-efficient data centers, renewable energy sources, and software optimization to reduce energy usage.
