Report: Study of the Environmental Impact of X-Road and the Possibilities of Reducing It

Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) has set a long-term goal to make X-Road the most sustainable data exchange solution in the world. The short-term goal is to focus on the direct and tangible environmental impacts of the X- Road software. X-Road is an open-source software and ecosystem solution that provides unified and secure data exchange between X-Road members.

The purpose of this research is to assess the current emissions profile across X-Road’s operations and services to give targeted recommendations for emissions reduction and sustainable business practices that may be integrated into future decision making.
