9. Lucile Vannier A day in the life of BPCE Sustainable IT Expert Examining digital issues Some ecological numbers that are questionable of global electricity is consumed by Internet only If the internet was a country, it would rank tirth for electricity usage, after China and USA For the worst-case scenario, ICT could use as much as 51% of global electricity and could contribute up to 23% of the globally released greenhouse gas emissions in 2030. 7 to 10% Sources: Clicking Clean Greenpeace 2017 (This is without cryptocurrency electricity consumption) On Global Electricity Usage of Communication Technology: Trends to 2030 volume of data consumed worldwide in 2021 In 2025, global data creation is projected to grow to more than 180 zettabytes. 2142 ZB in 2030. 52% of all data is Dark Data resulting in 6.4 million tonnes of CO2 in 2020. 1 zettabyte = 1021 bytes 79 zettabytes Sources: Statista, may 2022 Veritas Technologies LLC, 2021 of raw material required to produce only one 2 kg computer The 'ecological rucksack’ or MIPS is the total quantities of natural materials (extraction, energy, water,…) moved in order to produce one product. Mining resources are limited and their extraction is polluting water, air, soil and is producing toxic wastes. 57,4 million tons of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are produced in France every year. Only, 17,4% is collected and recycled. Source: ADEME, 2018 800 kg tonnes of space debris in Earth orbits. The Earth, oceans and space are full of garbage !
