This paper presents an extensive survey based analysis of green computing and energy efficient
systems since information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the significant
contributors to global carbon emission and energy consumption. To minimize environmental
degradation, it investigates the design, manufacture, usage, as well as disposal of computing
products. This study examines more than thirty peer-reviewed publications and current industry
practices to identify, assess, and categorize the significance of key green practices, including
virtualization, energy-efficient hardware design, cloud computing, and the usage of renewable
energy. The importance of sustainable IT for increasing productivity, reducing e-waste, and
lowering carbon emissions was the main topic of this paper. Furthermore, the given research
offers knowledge about the future research possibilities on how to create sustainable digital
infrastructures.
