- Environmental impacts
GHG Emissions
Very low to negligible
High, mainly CO2
Carbon Footprint
Generally very low
High, dependent on fuel type
Numerical Data:
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (g CO2/kWh):
Solar Energy: 0 g CO2/kWh
Wind Energy: 3 g CO2/kWh
Coal: 937 g CO2/kWh
Natural Gas: 549 g CO2/kWh
Carbon Footprint (g CO2/kWh):
Solar Energy: 2 g CO2/kWh
Wind Energy: 4 g CO2/kWh
Coal: 937-1050 g CO2/kWh
Natural Gas: 500-549 g CO2/kWh
These incorporated data points into the table provide concrete examples of numerical differences between green and fossil energies in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. This further strengthens your argument on the environmental benefits of renewable energies and the challenges posed by fossil fuels.

IONOS: Environmental Excellence
IONOS's eco-efficient data centers and reliance on renewable energies are pivotal in their sustainable approach. By choosing IONOS, we make an informed decision to minimize our environmental footprint.
Optimization of our IT Equipment
Recognizing the substantial environmental impact of computing equipment, we have strategically addressed this challenge. Our approach involves the integration of solar panels to power our IT equipment and store surplus energy. This not only reduces our reliance on conventional energy sources but also fosters a more sustainable and eco-friendly operational model.
By harnessing solar energy, we not only minimize the carbon footprint associated with our IT operations but also contribute positively to the grid during peak production. This step aligns seamlessly with our commitment to sustainability and offers tangible benefits to the environment.
Our solar-powered IT equipment optimizes energy consumption, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and exemplifies a progressive, eco-conscious technological path. This approach, combined with our choice of IONOS, strengthens our dedication to a greener future while setting an alternative vision for the industry at large.
Towards a Cleaner and Sustainable Future
Our choice of IONOS and our renewable energy-centric equipment choice underscore our commitment. Technology must be an ally to the environment. We believe these choices set an inspiring example for a more responsible industry.
Call for Collective Action
From hosting decisions to IT equipment choices, every move we make is in favour of sustainability. By inviting other stakeholders to follow this path, we aspire to participate collectively in a cleaner, more planet-friendly future.
