What is NET ZERO project?
To “Go Net Zero” is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or to ensure that any ongoing emissions are balanced by removals.
NET ZERO as the goal
Different terms (Carbon Neutral, Net Zero, Climate Neutral) point to different ways in which emissions sources and sinks are accounted for in context. They help to indicate what is and is not included in the calculation or a target. Net zero is the internationally agreed upon goal for mitigating global warming in the second half of the century. The IPCC concluded the need for net zero CO2 by 2050 to remain consistent with 1.5C. So, the purpose of this site is to inform effective climate action that is net zero aligned in order to advance progress towards this goal.

Our websites are killing the planet
An average website produces 4.61 grams of CO2 for every page view. For websites that have an average of 1,000 page views per month, that makes 55 kilograms of CO2 per year. The more complex a website is, the more energy it requires to load – and the greater its climate impact. Scale that up to the whole internet and you’ve got a big problem. “The internet is essentially the largest coal-fired machine on the entire planet,” says Jack Amend, the co-founder of Web Neutral Project, an organisation that helps tackle websites’ carbon footprints.

How to help NET ZERO project?
At GREEN WEB we are working on a niche segment of this big project. Our background in web development will help us estimate the CO2 emission of your website using an AI-based methodology, define practical steps to reduce it to the optimum number and help our partners to plant tree based on the most reduced CO2 emission. By this means we can balance the CO2 emission from your website and the amount of CO2 that will be absorbed by trees.
Are you concerned about the environment?
If your answer to this question is positive, you may have the option to help our partners and donate to plant trees to reduce your website's CO2 emission and help our environment.
