IT: Planet Polluter

Jika anda baru pertama kali berkunjung ke blog ini, Silakan kasih Komentar untuk artikel yang anda baca.

The machines that appendage the world's computing tasks are also some of the planet's large polluters. Data centers, PCs, mobile phones and recreation consoles use forcefulness that frequently comes from coal-burning noesis plants or another sources of forcefulness that give off broad copy emissions.

The aggregation and act profession (ICT) business in the U.S. is on road to fourfold its consumption of forcefulness between 2009 and 2020, according to a study free today from the Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAID) in Singapore and playwright University in Houston, Texas. Unless electronics can be altered to embellish significantly more energy-efficient, the attendant copy emissions from these products are set to acquire as well, says the report. In the U.S. copy emissions attendant to school products module acquire from 72.95 megatons of copy whitener free in 2009 to 195.06 megatons free in 2020.

About 6 proportionality of the world's forcefulness consumption goes to noesis radiophone phones, computers, accumulation centers and another aggregation and act technology, according to a March 2010 inform from mart research concern SBI Energy. That forcefulness accounts for most 2 proportionality of the world's orbicular copy emissions.

"The issue of noesis module be current everywhere," says Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing at IBM.

IBM is among companies already trying to turn forcefulness consumption. Supercomputers, for example, are some of the large forcefulness consumers in school and research facilities can spend jillions per year in forcefulness bills to run these machines. When the Green500 List was free in July, IBM had 17 of the crowning 20 most energy-efficient supercomputers. IBM supercomputers averaged 201 meg calculations per ordinal per watt while another supercomputers averaged 102 meg calculations per ordinal per watt, according to Green500.org.

Ambitious as the efforts of IBM and another companies haw be, they haw not be sufficiency to keep the IT business from making an outsized effort to copy emissions. If the U.S. continues on this same path, orbicular copy emissions attendant to PCs and laptops, which accounted for 48.5 proportionality of all orbicular ICT emissions in 2009 module nearly fourfold by 2020. Data center emissions module more than triple by 2020, according to today's report.

Do you have any ideas for making school products more sustainable? I'd love to center them.
