Abstract

Computing is fast calculations and generating solutions to complex problems. Recently Researchers have started focusing on energy efficiency, minimization of power consumption in e-equipments. Researching on environmentally sustainable factors is an emerging trend where Green computing is the efficient utilization of computing resources. It aims at reducing the use of hazardous materials, promoting recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products. "Green Computing" is also minimization of e-waste and use of non-toxic materials in preparation of e-equipments. IT industry is a complex mix of people, networks and hardware. The industry consumes approximately 3% of the world's energy which increases constantly. Green computing has become a paramount requirement for the protection of the environment. The implementations need to study gains that can be achieved, analyze gaps in achieving the benefits of green computing. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in its survey listed over 90 government and industry initiatives on "Green ICTs" since both are needed to "go green" thus prolonging energy resources.
