This is Vytas, co-founder & CEO of Greeningweb.com.
We just launched https://greeningweb.com/ - a free, easy-to-add widget that calculates your website traffic energy consumption and covers it with renewable energy.
Why does it matter? Some stats why should you consider sustainability initiatives in your business strategy:
Green initiatives grow businesses 28 times faster.
46% of companies said their green initiatives have led to partnerships with other like-minded companies.
61% of US customers consider sustainability before buying.
64 % of millennials are willing to decline a job if the company lacks corporate responsibility.
Greeningweb Widget is available to literally anyone that has a website. Plus, it’s free for any website that has less than 10 000 monthly visitors and only now, for all ProductHunt users, 1 month of GreeningWeb subscription of any plan is TOTALLY FREE with code “HUNT100”*!
How does it work?
Enter your website URL on https://app.greeningweb.com and you will immediately see the energy consumption of users visiting your site. Pick a plan that suits you best and by adding only one line of code, you are ready to go.
In the background:
- We calculate the energy consumption of each visitor on your webpage;

🥇 We've been hard at work building out the first version and would love to get feedback from the PH community! I'll be here all day with my team to answer any questions you have! Thank you so, so much for hunting us @kevin (and for your patience as we got geared up for launch!)!
Report
@kevin@vytautas_enrex “We use renewable energy certificates from renewable energy power plants to cover your visitors' consumption.” ← I really don’t understand what this means.
What are renewable energy certificates? How does using them cover the visitors' power consumption?
@kevin@anna_0x thanks for asking -->
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) provide proof that the owner of an energy market instrument owns one MWh of renewable energy; they account for the amount of renewable energy that flows through the power grid.
RECs can go by other names, including Green Tags, Tradable Renewable Certificates (TRCs), Renewable Electricity Certificates, or Renewable Energy Credits.
Let me know if I have answered your question.
Report
@kevin@vytautas_enrex kind of… What does it mean in practice if I “own one MWh of renewable energy”? Does that pay for new energy to be created from renewable sources? Like, how does it actually offset the energy consumption of the website (or is that not the point?)
Report
@kevin@vytautas_enrex@anna_0x please schedule a demo on greeningweb.com and we will explain all the steps.
Regarding your questions yes the renewable power plants sell certificates and other participants buy certificates and retire/ use. That is the tracking system to track the electricity
Report
Having worked for a renewable energy company, do you not think this method is a form of greenwashing?
Purchasing excess REGOs for REC is the same thing Shell have been doing to greenwash their customers: https://www.goodenergy.co.uk/she...
Surely the best approach would be to encourage organisations to switch to a carbon neutral website hosting company and to switch to a truly 100% renewable energy supplier who already work with renewable generators directly?
@mattsochor thanks for feedback. Let's brake it down
1. We are calculating every visits to your website electricity consumption. You would agree that in the process electricity is involved.
2. We agree that the best way to use renewable energy is to have a wind park or solar power near your house or office, but that is impossible.
3. REC incentives the renewable energy producers to sell them separately from electricity and to track the usage of electricity.
We understand that the market has to evolve and it's not perfect, but the first steps should be easy for reducing your carbon emissions and understanding the market. In the future we will present more options to reduce your carbon footprint with different environmental instruments.
Regarding carbon neutral website hosting companies --> they are using same RECs or other environmental instruments to reduce carbon emissions.
thanks for the questions and the comment always welcome deep feedback it helps us to grow and improve.
Is it just me, or it’s very exciting to calculate carbon footprint of different websites? Especially the LED light💡shining converted to minutes made me realise how much energy we do consumpt on a daily basis.
Great job, thank you for making relevant topics down to earth and easy-to-use. Such a great idea of making the daily browsing energy consumption green, can’t wait for my dev to add the widget to my personal website.
@vytautas_enrex I see you do have a lot of languages and some of them are quite rare, but I haven't found my native language (Ukrainian), so I have chosen English, are you planning on extending the options of languages? 🤞
I think this is a great in initiative. I hope that governments take responsibility and use this widget. But also commercial organizations should, hopefully encouraged by their customers.
I have one question, how can you calculate energy consumption on a website? Just curious! 😀
Keep up the good work!
I really love this widget, have been using in my e-commerce stores for almost a month now and I saw a 9% increase in revenue in the first month. Awesome!
It is a wonderful idea. I am a big supporter of sustainability, and this app is what all websites should integrate. Have you accounted for the server's location? For example, if the server is in NZ, it would be more than 70% green already as the main power generation is hydel. The same goes with the client side as well. I know it's complicated to find the exact CO2, so never mind. Congratulations on the launch!
