Digital sustainability intelligence
Data Offset turns everyday digital activity into understandable climate impact—then helps people and organizations reduce what they can and address what remains.
The physical layer
Every meeting, prompt, stream, message, and stored file passes through infrastructure with a measurable energy demand.
Estimated global data-center electricity consumption.
The IEA estimates data centers consumed 485 TWh in 2025 and projects approximately 950 TWh in 2030. Electricity consumption is not the same as greenhouse-gas emissions.
Data-center electricity demand could roughly double by 2030.
Read the IEA sourceCollaboration at planetary scale
One disclosed measure of the scale digital collaboration had already reached by October 2020. The activity was visible. Its climate consequence was not.
Zoom reported 3.3 trillion annualized meeting minutes in its 2020 Analyst Day presentation. This is a historical annualized run rate—not a current annual usage figure.
From signal to footprint
Data Offset links activity to an estimate through an explainable chain—not a black box.

Reduction is a feature
The right recommendation depends on the moment. When video is not essential, a lighter mode can materially lower the modeled transmission footprint.
Derived from Zoom’s published bandwidth requirements and documented energy and grid-intensity assumptions. Actual results vary by device, network, resolution, infrastructure, and electricity mix.
