What does CNW actually do?
Transforming the World Wide Web to become Totally Carbon Neutral. After years of scientific research on energy consumption for browsing web sites (both user and network) our findings constitute a significant breakthrough. We were able to establish that there are many areas that can be improved in a web site's coding system so that it performs efficiently while saving energy and helping to redue carbon emission.
How do websites contribute to carbon emission?
A recent study on internet browsing has shown that web technologies significantly impact energy consumption on the client (visitor) side. Flash rotating ads, video streaming features and online gaming are the most power-consuming elements. When users browse different websites, a major power drain occurs.
The energy consumed is largely generated by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas, all of which emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. In fact, studies suggest that information technology as a whole may contribute largely to the world's carbon emission. Industry experts predict that it will grow significantly in the next decade. CNW technology experts came up with the best solution to make websites energy efficient and carbon neutral.on a global scale.
While technology may be increasing carbon emissions – Technology can also be used to reduce them.
What is Carbon Offsetting?
In simple terms Carbon Offsetting is the method by which you can minimize your impact on the environment through global warming. For every one ton of CO2 your activities produce, you can enable one ton to be saved somewhere else in the world. This is done through carbon credits generated from initiatives such as renewable power generation projects such as wind, solar, geothermal, or small scale hydro. For example, if your website needs electricity that emits half a ton of CO2 per year, then CNW will enable you to offset that effect by taking half a ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere.
In addition to offsetting, you should try and reduce your carbon emissions to an unavoidable minimum, which is CNW's primary goal. Once your carbon offsets equal your carbon output, you can call yourself 'carbon neutral'. That is what CNW's technology experts – Carbon Offsetting is the company‘s ultimate target in making your website carbon neutral.
Does the carbon footprint of my website really matter?
Yes definitely , Times Online published, "performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle" or about 7g of CO2 per search” according to the Research done by the scientists.
What does Instant Analyzer mean?
When you become a registered member of CNW, the first step will be to analyze your website's coding system. This will include measurement of loading speed, file sizes and coding structure, including coding errors. The result is your site’s initial rating of performance efficiency.
What is the Detailed Analyzing Process?
This is where CNW technology matters the most. It is a complete, detailed analysis of your site elements, such as flash animations, JavaScript , video animations that are major energy consumers when a user browse the web site. CNW has the knowledge and expertise to optimize the coding using our latest research technology. Each available coding will be fully optimized, resulting in significantly reduced loading speeds.
At the same time, energy consumption for site visits is reduced dramatically.
Is there an extra charge for the detailed analysis?
No, not at all. This service is free for registered CNW members. The detailed analysis of your web site coding is performed by CNW research scientists and top IT specialists.
How do you offset the carbon footprints of my website?
We purchase carbon offsets from the industry's most recognized green energy suppliers on behalf of our registered members. This green energy mainly includes energy generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar power and hydro power.
Do I need to pay extra for the carbon offset and green energy purchases?
No, there is no extra charge for this service for CNW members. We purchase carbon offsets in bulk and receive certificates for the purchases. CNW members can proudly display these certificates on their site, showing their visitors how much energy they have saved and how much carbon emissions were reduced.
How often will I receive Green Energy certificates from CNW?
At the end of each month.
You will be authorized to carry the CNW logo on your website. The logo identifies your company as an energy-conscious, green corporate citizen. Visitors will be able to see the real time certificates when they click on the CNW logo on your site
