Abstract
Green computing is a technology that focuses mostly on finding alternative solutions (recycling) to protect the natural resources on earth like energy, etc. In this matter, it can be observed that mobile computing technologies like mist, edge, cloud, and fog computing can support this technology by providing services that help in efficient utilization of resources and reducing energy consumption. In fact, fog computing is an extended version of cloud computing, where data moves from the mist and edge devices to the cloud, passing through the fog layer, which helps in improving some cloud computing features, adding privacy, reduce latency, and location awareness, since it is closer to the end user. As a result, cloud computing can significantly reduce the utilization of resources, which helps in making the overall computing process better and green. This paper aims to highlight the areas and the extent to which the mist, edge, fog, and cloud computing technologies can support the green technology and ways to increase this support.
