  • Abstract
    According to the Smart 2020 report, green IT could save 7.8 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2012 (that´s 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions). In exploring green IT practices and their impact, three different time frames emerge, revealing current and future trends for this growing field. Those time frames were discussed further in this paper.
