Abstract

Green computing encompasses practices and technologies aimed at reducing the negative impact of ICT on the natural environment. The goal is to optimize energy performance, reduce carbon emissions, increase resource efficiency, and promote responsible disposal of electronic waste. All of this includes a wide range of activities, from the design of energy-efficient hardware components and the development of software that minimizes energy consumption, to the implementation of sustainable data center management strategies and the recycling of electronic devices. This paper describes the basics of green computing and the importance of its application for increasing ICT security.
