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.

Minimizing CO₂ / Green energy

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.
