This does not mean our beloved emails are floating around in space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of the shows and movies you stream, the important documents that you need access to everywhere, all of the information that you&#8217;ve uploaded to social media sites \u2014 it may take up little or no space on your devices, but all of that data has to go somewhere. That somewhere is typically data centers, massive buildings occupied by nothing but row after row of computer servers that are running nonstop to make sure that when you need to retrieve a photo stored in the cloud, you&#8217;ll be able to get to it right away. Data centers are the rarely discussed heroes that help make possible the incredible modern conveniences that technology has afforded us. But they have a cost.<\/p>\n<h5><b>Data Center And Energy Consumption<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>In 2016, it was reported that the world&#8217;s data centers used more than Britain&#8217;s total electricity consumption &#8211; 416.2 terawatt-hours, significantly higher than the UK&#8217;s 300 terawatt-hours. At three percent of the global electricity supply and accounting for about two percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, data centers have the same carbon footprint as the aviation industry.<\/p>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/367\/6481\/984\">study<\/a> mentions that data centers accounted for about 205 terawatt-hours of electricity usage in 2018, which is roughly 1% of all electricity consumption worldwide, according to the report. (That&#8217;s well below the often-cited stat that data centers consume 2%&nbsp;of the world&#8217;s electricity).<\/p>\n<p>Either way, we&#8217;ve run our numbers. Today, world&#8217;s data centers use more than Norway&#8217;s total electricity consumption &#8211; which sits at 122.20 TWh.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Today, world&#8217;s data centers use more than Norway&#8217;s total electricity consumption.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The internet, email, and cloud-based services have cut down on tons of physical resources like paper.<\/p>\n<p>But the carbon emissions produced from powering, manufacturing and cooling computers, smartphones, and data centers can add up.
