The hydro-electric plant our servers are powered by

Recent estimates are that searches on Google produce 500 kg of CO2 every second. Joana Moll created C02GLE to visualize how much C02 is generated from searches on Google.com.

We’ve decided to place our servers in data centers powered by hydro-electricity.

Your searches are delivered to you from servers 300 metres away from the hydro-electric plant.
