Abstract

Green computing also called green ICT refers to any computing process or practice aimed at reducing any negative effect that computing technology has on the environment. Technology is ever-advancing hence new technological devices are being developed that could have varied effects on the environment. This study aims at assessing different fields of green computing. The most recent studies were considered from the world's most revered scientific journal IEEE. Countries where the research was carried out were also compared as well as the year when the studies were published. Analysis was done in the different thematic areas where current and future research trends in those areas were discussed. Insightful information from the study was used to do a projection of future research in this area. This study pointed out areas where adjustments or improvements need to be made to ensure green computing is achieved
