Manufacturing computers is materials-intensive; the
total fossil fuels used to make one desktop computer weigh over 240 kilograms,
some ten times the weight of the computer itself. This is very high compared to
many other goods. For an automobile or refrigerator, for example, the weight of
fossil fuels used for production is roughly equal to their weights. Substantial
quantities of chemicals (22 kg), and water (1 500 kg) are also used.

Worldwide electricity used by data centres doubled from
2000 to 2005, as shown in figure 1, representing an aggregate annual growth
rate of 16.7% per year for the world. About 80% of this growth is attributable
to growth in electricity used by servers (almost entirely volume servers), with
ten per cent of growth in electricity use associated with data centre
communications and about the same percentage for storage equipment. The overall
increase in server electricity use is driven almost entirely by the increase in
the number of volume servers, with a small component associated with increases
in the server power used per unit.
