How our cloud does more with less. We’ve worked hard to reduce the amount of energy our services use.
In fact, to provide you with Google products for a month—not just search, but Google+, Gmail, YouTube and everything else we have to offer—our servers use less energy per user than a light left on for three hours. And, because we’ve been a carbon-neutral company since 2007, even that small amount of energy is offset completely, so the carbon footprint of your life on Google is zero. We’ve learned a lot in the process of reducing our environmental impact, so we’ve added a new section called “The Big Picture” to our Google Green site with numbers on our annual energy use and carbon footprint. We started the process of getting to zero by making sure our operations use as little energy as possible.
For the last decade, energy use has been an obsession. Whenever possible, we use renewable energy. But we’re not stopping there. Finally, our products can help people reduce their own carbon footprints. Green. The Story of Send. An Efficient Server Floor Your message then enters our server floor.
Our servers support many products at a time — that’s “the cloud.” It means we can do more with less — more searches and more Gmail with fewer servers and less energy. In fact, our data centers are some of the most efficient in the world, using 50% less energy than typical data centers. Our large scale also helps us better serve our customers by backing up data in multiple places and letting businesses easily increase their storage and speed. No Unnecessary Waste Since 2007, we’ve recycled enough servers to avoid buying over 90,000 replacement machines. A Little Goes a Long Way As a result of all our efficiency efforts, we use very little energy to power a Google search. Using Less Energy to Do More Compare the environmental impact of everyday activities and objects to that of YouTube and Gmail.
