Green media streaming enables a more sustainable and energy efficient workflow from content production to playback. Our Serverside.AI team breaks down what you should know.
As the media industry continues to focus on improving sustainability, green streaming - a set of techniques that enables more sustainable and energy-efficient workflows - is becoming a hot conversation topic.
According to a 2022 report by the International Energy Agency, data centers and transmission networks facilitating streaming account for 1-1.5% of global total electricity consumption and 1% of the world's total energy-related GHG emissions. In comparison, aviation accounted for 2% of global energy-related emissions, so it's not surprising that the industry is searching for more sustainable solutions.
One recommended approach to decreasing emissions in your streaming supply chain is leveraging our server-side ad insertion (SSAI) solution. With its latest update, Serverside.ai powered by Equativ is now twice as efficient as before, which makes it a great tool for reducing your carbon footprint.
