  2. How much CO2 is is pro roduced by our r dig igit ital servic ices at GDS?

  3. GDS

  4. How much CO2 do we produce keeping sites like GOV.UK up and running? GDS

  5. Why did id we do this is?

  6. Government has committed to reduce emissions to zero by 2050 GDS

  7. “We will need to be sure that we are using clean and gre reen digital and te technology se serv rvices and pra racti tices ” The Greening Government Sustainable Technology Strategy 2016-2020 GDS

  8. Teams in government don’t have guidance on sustainable hosting GDS

  9. Why do dig igit ital l servic ices pro roduce CO2?

  10. Websites like GOV.UK run on computers in data centres GDS

  11. These computers are powered by electricity GDS

  12. “ICT currently accounts for around 3.6% of global electricity use and 1.4% of greenhouse gas emissions” The Energy and Carbon Footprint of the Global ICT and E&M Sectors 2010 – 2015, Malmodin and Lunden GDS

  13. How did id we measure it it?

  14. We estimated overall CO 2 based on: 1. Hosting costs per year (£) 2. Minus profit (-30%) 3. Minus costs that aren’t energy ( -40%) 4. Converting that cost to electricity (assuming 12p per KWh/month) 5. Converting electricity to CO 2 (assuming the average UK grid, or 0.352g CO 2 /kwh) GDS

  15. What did id we le learn?

  16. GDS services produce up to 4,000 to tonnes of f CO 2 a ye year As much as a village of 470 homes GDS

  18. How do we re reduce these emis issio ions?

  19. Zero carbon is possible! GDS

  20. “The size of the average web page increased at least threefold from 2010 to 2018.” www.httparchive.org GDS

  21. Do we really need to build Have we this? Use less switched off our Waste less tools overnight? GDS

  22. “I reduced global emissions by an estimated 59 tonnes CO 2 per month by removing a 20KB JavaScript dependency” https://dannyvankooten.com/website-carbon-emissions/ GDS

  23. Simplify GDS

  24. Simpler is better for everyone GDS

  25. Show our Cloud Providers that we value sustainability GDS
