Each search releases roughly 0.2 grams of Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere due to servers and data centre maintenance. Using Gmail for a year pours out 1.2kg CO2 per user. Google is awarded a carbon credit that denotes how much they have invested in carbon offsets, which means how much carbon they’ve prevented from entering into the atmosphere. Being carbon neutral means a company has brought its net carbon — and other greenhouse gases including methane — emissions down to zero. Google says their data centres consume the minimum power possible.
