Hostingbedrijf Denit uit Amsterdam maakt voor haar diensten gebruik van KPN's datacenter DC2 in Amsterdam. In 2010 draait DC2 voor 50% op groene energie. Denit heeft een contract gesloten met Cleanbits voor de vergroening van de overige 50% in 2010.

Hiermee draaien alle klanten van Denit al in 2010 op 100% groene energie, en komen als zodanig ook groen uit de greencheck.

Cleanbits is uiteraard blij met deze positieve marktontwikkelingen en hoopt in 2010 meer hostingbedrijven als nieuwe klant te mogen begroeten!

The mobile rinks of market leader Ice-World are chilled by using green electricity. To achieve this, Ice-World will purchase 3 gigawatts of electricity every year from Dutch wind turbines through Cleanbits. This power will then be transported to the ice rinks via the worldwide electricity network.

Ice-World International - famed among other things for the largest ice rink in the world, FlevOnice at Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands, rents out around 600 mobile ice rinks every year via its network of dealers in some 20 countries in Europe and beyond.

Are you looking for a hosting provider to host your new or existing website or server? Is a 'green' provider one of your criteria for choice? If not it should be a serious buying criteria since keeping a straightforward website up and running for a year can emit as much CO2 as driving an average petrol car for 1650 kilometers. And the more complex the site the more emissions naturally.

Nice website, great idea but who are the people behind Cleanbits?

A short introduction of the key players and their roles:

The world's climate problem is apparent in our everyday lives. Interneting for example - what we can't do without - is becoming an increasing part of the problem than most of us think. In many countries computing and telecom contributes to 2-10% of the energy consumption, and gradually increasing. When it comes to saving energy, we step into greener cars or buy energy efficient products, but we don't think about the CO2 being emitted into the air by keeping all online sites live and visible on our screens.

A tree is planted in the internet forest to compensate the carbon emissions of that website or blog. 'Tweet' goes the bird in the tree and on the web. The loop is closed. Check if your website is green and see how you can offset your CO2 emissions with renewable energy or tree plantation.
