The Information and communications technologies sector has been criticized for contributing large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, according to an Eco-Business report.
Smarter ICT solutions will help cut CO2 emissions

The European Commission (EC) called on Europes information and communication technologies (ICT) industry to outline the practical steps it will take to become 20 per cent more energy-efficient by 2015. ICT equipment and services alone account for about 8 per cent of electrical power used in the EU and about 2 per cent of carbon emissions. But using ICT in a smart way could help reduce energy consumption in energy-hungry sectors such as buildings, transport and logistics and reduce carbon emissions. It asks EU countries to agree on common specifications for smart metering.
It’s big, expanding and has a carbon footprint to match

A riddle. It’s invisible but ubiquitous, and growing exponentially. Even as it provides the capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, its own carbon footprint is ever larger. It is the fuel of clouds and the stuff that races through fibre optic cables at the speed of light.
