- The growing popularity of cloud infrastructure has led to a significant rise in energy consumption. 1% of the world’s electricity is consumed by data centers contributing significantly to global carbon emission. The pursuit of power has considerably affected the carbon footprint of the environment. The rising energy demand is largely attributed to the rapid expansion of data centers housing hundreds of servers and related infrastructures. This paper emphasis the need for on Energyefficient solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of cloud computing. Our research focused on the concept of Green Cloud Computing (GCC) and the main accomplishments of GCC. Initially, a concise overview of cloud computing is presented. Afterward, the topic of discussion is recent studies and advancements, with a particular focus on environmental issues. Moreover, provide an explanation of the primary aspects of GCC and concentrate on small businesses that face a variety of obstacles when it comes to embracing green cloud computing. Furthermore, elaborate that India's adoption of green cloud computing presents various difficulties. In conclusion, we discuss the future research opportunities in green cloud computing and the unresolved challenges.
