\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa huella de carbono?<\/span><\/h2>\n

La huella de carbono es una medida del impacto medioambiental de una organizaci\u00f3n, evento, persona o producto. Mide el total de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) de una determinada actividad o grupo de actividades<\/strong> para proporcionar una medida de hasta qu\u00e9 punto estas actividades producen emisiones nocivas y, por tanto, contribuyen al calentamiento global.<\/p>\n

Se calcula que la inform\u00e1tica produce hasta el 3%<\/a> de las emisiones mundiales de di\u00f3xido de carbono<\/strong>. Por ello, la huella de carbono se ha convertido en una medida importante en inform\u00e1tica.<\/p>\n

Diccionario Techopedia: Huella de carbono<\/span><\/h2>\n

El concepto de huella de carbono se deriva del debate sobre la huella ecol\u00f3gica. La cantidad total de emisiones de GEI producidas por diversas fuentes se expresa generalmente en toneladas equivalentes de di\u00f3xido de carbono emitido.<\/strong> La huella se refiere al total de emisiones de di\u00f3xido de carbono producidas por diversas actividades humanas en un periodo de tiempo determinado, normalmente un a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

Una vez calculada la huella de carbono, se pueden hacer esfuerzos para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Estos pueden incluir una mejor gesti\u00f3n de procesos y productos, desarrollos tecnol\u00f3gicos, captura de carbono y estrategias de modificaci\u00f3n del consumo. Adem\u00e1s, proyectos como la energ\u00eda solar y e\u00f3lica o la reforestaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n pueden ejecutarse para reducir los GEI<\/strong>. La computaci\u00f3n en nube tambi\u00e9n se considera un paso importante hacia una inform\u00e1tica m\u00e1s ecol\u00f3gica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
