Description
We present the results of the Snowmass Implementation Task Force (ITF) analysis of future collider concepts. We consider both the environmental cost of construction (CO2 footprint per meter of tunnel) and the carbon footprint associated with collider power consumption. We discuss strategies to mitigate the power consumption of future high-energy colliders, such as energy recovery, and we discuss the benefits of specific advanced accelerator technologies for reducing power consumption.
