We've calculated the impact of everything that NaniHost uses and leaves behind in the course of our daily work. All of the resources that we use - paper in the office, electricity for our servers, even the gas in our cars that bring us to the office - leaves behind some kind of soul-sucking residue in the world.

When we learned that running NaniHost generated as much carbon dioxide as 545 average-size homes we realized we had to do something to neutralize our emissions.

A third-party-certification? Never fear. The credits we use to green our energy consumption and neutralize the rest of our emissions meet the highest standards in the industry.

In Our Own Backyard

Carbon offsetting alone will not solve the climate crisis and its practice does not excuse anyone from taking direct, onsite action to reduce emissions. We're always looking for more ways to reduce our resource usage around the office and the data center. We use coffee cups made from fully renewable resources. In the last couple of years we've also been deploying many more servers with notoriously power-efficient AMD processors. As processor and server technology continues to evolve we'll follow the path of power efficiency. It just makes sense!

Great Green Energy

Clean, renewable energy plants generate not only electricity, but also what are called Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). A REC represents the environmental benefits of producing 1,000 kWh of non-polluting energy from sources easily replenished by earth’s natural systems (think wind and sun). RECs may be sold in conjunction with the electricity by which they are generated, or decoupled from that energy and sold separately. Because the generation of clean, renewable energy does not result in carbon emissions, the purchase and permanent retirement of RECs allows us to neutralize the carbon emissions related to our electricity use. Technically speaking, instead of offsetting our electricity related emissions, we simply avoid them by greening our energy at the source.
