| ABSTRACT | The rapid proliferation of cloud computing infrastructure has introduced significant energy consumption challenges, contributing substantially to global carbon emissions and environmental degradation. Green cloud computing has as a critical paradigm aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of information and communication technology (ICT) systems while maintaining high performance and reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into green cloud computing strategies and their impact on environmental sustainability. We examine energy-efficient resource allocation algorithms, virtualization techniques, renewable energy integration, and carbon-aware workload scheduling frameworks deployed across simulated and real-world cloud environments. Experimental results demonstrate that implementing a combined green computing strategy comprising dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), virtual machine (VM) consolidation, and renewable energy-aware task migration achieves an average energy reduction of 38.6% and a carbon emission decrease of 42.3% compared to traditional cloud computing approaches, without significant degradation in Quality of Service (QoS). Our findings affirm that green cloud computing is a technically viable and economically sound approach to achieving environmental sustainability targets in the digital era. |
