What Google Means to Energy Google has invested $780 million in renewable energy generation and tech development Google boasts themselves as being a neutral carbon company, offsetting as much CO 2 as they produce The G-mail system is said to be 80% more efficient than company in-house service

Outline -Google’s overall Carbon footprint calculation if all of their energy was from power plants -Google’s wind and solar offsets -The things we don’t think about (What would the world be like without Google) -What is the carbon footprint of this project???

Assumptions -All the power is coming from coal power plant. -Account for all of Google searchers, Gmail and YouTube usage and all other Google applications. -Average trip to the library is 1.5 miles each way. -70% of bituminous coal is Carbon. -Everyone used Google to complete their project

Google CO 2 Output

Google’s Wind Offset

Google’s Solar Offset

What if We Didn’t Have Google?

How Much Do Searches Save?

Google CO 2 Emissions of EGEE 012

Differences

Conclusion -Online activity is increasing significantly each year. -Google is pushing toward more renewable energy sources. -If Google didn’t pursue more efficient equipment and methods CO 2 footprint would DOUBLE. -Google also contributes in the development of renewable energy and technology. -Yahoo doesn’t release their energy information.
