\n BERLIN \u2014 Streaming high-definition videos and games can result in significant greenhouse gas emissions, depending on the technology used, according to a German government-backed study released Thursday.<\/p>\n

The report published by Germany\u2019s Federal Environment agency calculated the amount of carbon dioxide produced by data centers where material is stored for streaming, and by the transmission technology used to get it to consumers.<\/p>\n

It concluded that streaming video over fiber optic cables results in the lowest amount of CO2 emissions \u2014 2 grams per hour. Using copper cables produces twice that amount, while 3G mobile technology results in a hefty 90 grams of CO2 per hour.<\/p>\n

The report\u2019s authors said streaming over next-generation mobile technology, known as 5G, would result in carbon dioxide emissions of 5 grams per hour, suggesting that widespread rollout could help cut energy consumption.<\/p>\n

Data centers, meanwhile, accounted for only a small share of the overall energy use, though the amount varied significantly depending on how efficiently servers were used and cooled, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Christian Stoll, am energy expert who wasn\u2019t involved in the study, said the figures app<\/a>eared plausible but noted that they didn\u2019t take into account the amount of electricity consumed by the devices used to watch the streamed videos.<\/p>\n

\u201c(This) represent a significant part of the total emissions,\u201d said Stoll, a researcher at the Technical University Munich\u2019s Center for Energy Markets and the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research.<\/p>\n

Presenting the report, German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze said the study was an attempt to help provide solid data for decision-makers as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly important at the same time as countries try to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that heat up the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is possible to stream data without negatively impacting the climate if you do it right and choose the right method for data transmission,\u201d she said. \u201cFrom an environmental perspective, it would be a good idea to set up more public WiFi hotspots, as this is more climate-friendly than streaming in mobile networks.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
