CLOUDFLARE TO CREATE NEW BLUEPRINT FOR ZERO-EMISSIONS INTERNET

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced it would help power an Internet with zero carbon emissions.

Now, not only will one of the world's largest and most interconnected networks operate on 100 per cent renewable energy, but Cloudflare will also remove all historical carbon its global network has emitted since its founding by 2025.

According to a statement, any Internet property on Cloudflare’s network — which today already consists of 17 per cent of the web — will automatically reduce emissions and seamlessly contribute to a greener, more sustainable world.

“We want to give the Internet a clean slate to help build towards a future where it’s easy for anyone to create, build, and run their applications on green energy while remaining secure, fast, and reliable,” said Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer, Matthew Prince.

Cloudflare is also releasing sustainable edge computing services and energy efficient features to help organisations of any size build sustainability directly into their own applications, websites, and networks.

Businesses can choose to intelligently route traffic through data centres powered by renewable energy using Green Compute on Cloudflare Workers.

Customers can also understand and quantify their individual footprints and approximate savings from Cloudflare’s network in comparison to Internet averages with the Carbon Impact Report.

Furthermore, organisations that deploy websites on Cloudflare Pages will automatically operate on renewable energy and receive a green certification from The Green Web Foundation displayed through a verified badge.

Cloudflare is providing environmentally efficient solutions, giving organisations a seamless way to power compute with renewable energy; quantify their individual footprint and carbon savings from Cloudflare’s network; receive green certification on their websites by default; and, reduce unnecessary energy from search engines indexing the web.
