In the average organisation, datacentre energy consumption represents 9% of total energy consumption. For example, a datacentre of 1300 MWh annual consumption represents nearly 3000 tonnes of CO2 over the typical five-year life of equipment. Applying our two energy reduction strategies can reduce CO2 emission by 1480 tonnes and reduce the organisation’s energy consumption by 4,5%, a significant contribution to Kyoto-level targets.

How do servers and other computer equipments produce CO2 emission?

How do servers and other computer equipments produce CO2 emission?

I think they are refering to the emissions from producing the electricity to power the equipment.
