According to a 2019 report, video streaming accounts for more than 60% of global internet traffic.<br />But it is not very ecological: streaming constitutes 1% of CO2 emissions on a global scale.<br />Netflix has, for the first time, reported on its carbon footprint. <br />According to the platform, watching one hour of streaming generates less than 100g of CO2. <br />This is the equivalent of a fan (75 W) that works for 6 hours or an air conditioner (1000 W) that runs for 40 minutes.<br />But as the platform gains more and more subscribers, power consumption increases (data centers, Internet networks and viewing devices).<br />For the listed company, reducing carbon emissions is a major ecological and marketing challenge.<br />But unlike other web giants, it remains discreet about its environmental objectives.<br />For example, Microsoft hopes to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 Google. Facebook and Apple are also moving in the same direction.
