Private clouds can allow a company to reduce the number of physical machines in its data center, saving electricity and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

For a $5,000 server, the example input is 385 watts, as obtained from the server specifications book. The power use will increase or decrease with a server's size and capability (and price).

The fuels used to generate electricity vary widely by global region (e.g., nuclear, natural gas, coal, etc.). Each type of fuel emits different amounts of carbon dioxide per unit of electricity generated. This input helps identify the best regional fuel mix to support the carbon dioxide savings calculations.
