Carbon Footprint of Mobile Apps: How Convenience is Costing the Planet


this image shows carbon footprint of mobile apps

Technology has provided us with countless conveniences in our everyday lives, ranging from streaming applications and video, social networks and buying and even food delivery apps. However, the energy that needs to fuel these apps — via data centers or cloud services, or smartphones and tablets — produces a large amount of carbon emissions.


The Ways That Applications Cause Carbon Dioxide Emissions


  • Data Centers: Applications depend on the data centers, which take a lot of power, and most of the time, from the limited resources.


  • Cloud Storage: Call admission control reduces energy consumption by avoiding unbounded data storage and processing that is necessary for continuous use of apps such as streaming and social media.


  • App Usage: This amounts to more interactions on apps, more energy consumed by mobile devices and networks and hence emissions.


Reducing the Carbon Impact

  • Efficient App Design: Business people can also develop apps that will consume less energy.


  • Renewable Data Centers: Relocating data center's to the use of renewable energy can reduce emissions.


  • User Action: Users can control certain background application processing and save energy by controlling app updates.


Conclusion


The convenience that mobile apps provide within our daily lives has not come without affecting the environment. It is possible to make apps greener by designing these apps in a way that demands significantly less electricity; as well as, powering data centers with renewable energy sources to minimize the carbon impact of our ever-more digital lives.
