The EU-funded GREENEDGE project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of MEC technology by designing energy-efficient communication and computing functionalities for the network edge and combining them with efficient management of ambient energy sources and new energy storage and supply. The EU-funded GREENEDGE project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of MEC technology by designing energy-efficient communication and computing functionalities for the network edge and combining them with efficient management of ambient energy sources and new energy storage and supply. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology delivers the required computation functionalities closer to user devices, directly at mobile access points. However, the large-scale adoption of MEC technology will result in a surge of data and computation in mobile networks, increasing their energy. The 5G technology has been commercialized worldwide and is expected to provide superior performance with enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-low latency transmission, and massive IoT connections. Meanwhile, the edge computing paradigm gets popular to provide distributed computing and storage resources. The Greenedge project's mission is to tame the growing carbon footprint of ML/AI based edge computing services adopting a twofold approach. GREENEDGE aimed at mitigating the carbon footprint of Information and Communication.
