Green IoT strategies can be grouped into the following categories: green IoT design, green IoT manufacturing, green IoT manufacturing, green IoT applications, green IoT operation, and green IoT disposal.
[1].
Green use (Green operation)
Reducing the energy consumption from the operation of IoT systems
Green disposal
Reducing the amount of waste created from the deployment and operation of IoT systems (effecient maintenance, re-use, recycling).
Green IoT design
Designing of IoT hardware, software, management systems, and policies considering the requirement of minimising the energy consumption, carbon footprint and the environmental impact of IoT systems. One of the design goal should be to implement energy-efficient stratgies to reduce energy consumption and to develope stratgies to minimise the amount of e-waste produce from the IoT systems and infratuctures. Green IoT design techniques includes: Green hardware, green communication and networking infrastructure, green software, green architecture, green software, energy-efficient security mechanisms, and energy harvesting.
Green IoT manufacturing
Energy-efficient manufactring infrastructure for IoT hardware. With the expectation to connect hundreds of billions or trillion of IoT devices to satisfy the demand for IoT to improve various sectors or industries on the evolving tech-driven economy, the carbon footprint from factories manufacturing IoT devices will be enormous. Also, the manufactured for IoT systems should also be energy efficient.
