About us

What is GreenDIGIT Lowering the environmental impact of digital services and technologies has to become a priority for both the operation of existing digital services and the design of future digital infrastructures. Energy consumption and carbon footprint are the two most talked about environmental impacts, and indeed, digital infrastructures today contribute 3 to 4% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the world, with a growth of 8% per year. In particular, the part of the networking infrastructure alone is responsible for 2 to 14% of digital impacts, mainly due to their electricity consumption. The GreenDIGIT project will approach the problem of reducing the environmental impact of Research Infrastructures (RIs) from the generic conceptual point of view by addressing all major factors that define and influence the RI environmental and climate impact.
