Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed how we work and live due to rapid technological advancements. Despite the obvious benefits of IoT, which, in turn, benefit our society, it’s worth remembering that IoT also uses energy, contributes to harmful contamination, and harms the environment. E-waste puts additional strain on the ecosystem. The world is becoming smarter. To enhance the advantages while lowering the costs, despite the dangers of IoT, there is a growing desire to relocate. Green IoT is widely viewed as the IoT’s future and good for the environment. In order to achieve this, a variety of strategies need to be implemented to minimize carbon emissions: Reduce your carbon footprint, preserve resources, and improve efficient energy use. It is the cause for relocation toward a green IoT, where machines, communications, and data are connected. Along with electricity, there are sensors, clouds, and the Internet. Increasing efficiency and lowering carbon emissions are two goals we have set for ourselves. This chapter provides an in-depth examination of the current state of affairs, and the work on green IoT research and possible technologies provide some hints for future green IoT research.
