Sustainable Environment Friendly Green Computing for Futuristic Technologies

Abstract

Green computing is the study of designing, manufacturing/engineering, usage and disposal of computing devices in a way that reduces the environmental impact. Green computing aims on reducing the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime and promote the recyclability. It also motivates towards biodegradability of obsolete products and factory waste. The usage of computers is increasing day by day which increases the consumption of electricity. This crisis has been realized by people and measures are being taken which help in minimizing the power usage of computers. This initiative can be called as Green Computing. This paper focus on current trends in Green Computing approaches, technologies in green computing and means to address the challenges of Green Computing.
