Green IoT: sustainability environment and technologies

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects everyone in the smart world, so the energy consumption of IoT technology is a challenging and attractive research area. The development of technology in the field of IoT has changed the way of life and enriched society with its benefits, but we must not ignore the fact that IoT consumes energy, contributes to toxic pollution, and generates electrical waste. To increase the benefits and reduce the harmfulness of IoT, there are increasing tendencies to move towards green IoT (G-IoT). The G-IoT is considered the future environmentally friendly IoT. Greening ICT technology plays a key role in G-IoT and promises many benefits to society such as efficient production, and reducing the energy used to design and distribute ICT devices and equipment. This paper will present a comprehensive overview of G-IoT technologies and strategies that demonstrate work and efforts to build a green and smart world, contributing to a safe and healthy environment, smart and high quality of life based on enabling technologies, reducing pollution, and reducing energy consumption. ICT technologies that enable G-IoT include Green RFID, Green Wireless Sensor Network (GWSN), Green Cloud Computing (GCC), Green M2M (G-M2M), and Green Data Center (GDC). The paper will also present an analysis of the importance of environmental technology processes in sustainable development, exploring the principles and roles of G-IoT in the progress of society through examining its potential for improving quality of life, environment, economic growth, and green global modernization.

Design and Evaluation of a Smart Ex Vitro Acclimatization System for Tissue Culture Plantlets

“…Robots, drones, remote sensors, computer imagery, and continuously improving machine learning and analytical tools are used in the IoT to real-time monitor crops, microclimate, survey and map fields as well as to provide data to farmers for logical farm management strategies that will not only save them time and money but also improve crop production [55][56][57]. While maintaining the economic stability of farming enterprises, IoT technology is increasingly being used in agriculture to promote greener on-farm practices and better ecological sustainability [58][59][60]. Many automated IoT-based technologies that are widely used in plant tissue culture laboratories have been developed by scientists.…”

A Survey on Energy-Aware Security Mechanisms for the Internet of Things

“…From the smallest smartwatch to the rise of autonomous vehicles, from smart homes to the development of smart cities, the IoT has been playing a role in advancing the technology and civilization of human society [3]. The IoT technology has significant economic and environmental impacts thanks to the billions of connected devices communicating over the Internet using various types of sensors [4,5]. These connected devices imply large amounts of energy consumption and data management.…”

Boundary Layer Modelling of Flow Acceleration and Energy Transfer Effects in Smart Pavement Design

“…The construction and infrastructure industry are not left out of this race to make everything around us "intelligent", selfdiagnosing and self-learning. Currently, the idea of intelligent and sustainable systems and networks, driven by integrated and advanced remote technologies and cyber-infrastructure as demonstrated by [1] and [2] has transitioned from an object of mere academic curiosity to the next level of socioeconomic and environmental development revolution. In recent times, road construction technology has advanced towards accommodating intelligence as part of the evolution of transportation infrastructure.…”
