The Green Tech Revolution: Sustainable Innovation for a Digital Future

Discover the Future of Sustainability
The Green Tech Revolution: Sustainable Innovation for a Digital Future is your comprehensive guide to the technologies transforming our world for a net-zero future. With $2.2 trillion invested in clean energy in 2025 (IEA), this book explores cutting-edge solutions—from renewable energy to AI-driven smart cities—empowering you to join the green tech movement.
What You’ll Learn

• Green Data Centers: Discover how Google and Microsoft use renewable energy, liquid cooling, and AI tools like DeepMind to cut data center emissions, addressing their 200-250 TWh annual energy use (IEA).
• Sustainable Blockchain: Learn how Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake and Algorand’s carbon-negative platform reduce energy use by 99.95%, enabling carbon credit trading and green NFTs (Ethereum Foundation).
• Renewable Energy: Explore solar (1,080 GW in China, PV Magazine), wind, and green hydrogen, plus advanced batteries like CATL’s Qilin for grid stability and EV range.
• Sustainable Transport: Understand how 20 million EVs sold globally in 2025 (The EV Report), supported by Tesla’s Model Q and 3,300 battery swap stations (CNEVPost), redefine mobility.
• Circular Tech: Master strategies for tackling 62 million tons of e-waste with recycled materials, bioplastics, and modular designs like Fairphone (UN Global E-waste Monitor).
• AI and IoT in Smart Cities: See how Singapore’s Smart Nation and IBM’s Green Horizon use IoT sensors and AI to save 1 billion tons of CO2 annually (IEA).
• Green Software Engineering: Leverage tools like CodeCarbon and the Green Software Foundation’s SCI metric to optimize code, reducing digital emissions by 15% (Gartner).
• Policy and Investment: Navigate frameworks like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act ($369B) and EU Green Deal (€1T), despite challenges like $15.5B in canceled U.S. projects (PV Magazine).

Key Features

• Case Studies: Real-world examples from Apple (100% recycled aluminum), Tesla (Megapack storage), and Faircado (AI second-hand markets).
• Practical Tools: Use CodeCarbon, ElectricityMap, and Digital Product Passports to implement green solutions.
• Actionable Insights: Steps for developers (green coding), businesses (sustainable supply chains), and policymakers (incentives).
• Future Vision: A 2030 roadmap for net-zero cities, 50 million EVs, and 90% electronics recycling (Ellen MacArthur Foundation).

Benefits Across Industries
