The Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced exponential expansion, raising questions about its sustainability and environmental impact. In response, the developing discipline of Green Internet of Things(GreenIoT) seeks to address these problems by encouraging energy-saving and environmentally friendly IoT deployment practices. The technological environment of the GreenIoT is thoroughly explored in this article, including enabling technologies, simulators and platforms, smart applications, open projects, information on certificates and compliance, and open research challenges. The article focuses on intelligent applications that use GreenIoT concepts to meet sustainability objectives in a variety of industries, including smart buildings, transportation, agriculture, and healthcare. It demonstrates the revolutionary potential of GreenIoT in creating sustainable and environmentally friendly urban settings by outlining the fundamental characteristics, advantages, and actual implementations of these applications. The paper also highlights the value of open projects and initiatives in the GreenIoT space, looking at teamwork and research projects that promote innovation and advance energy-efficient IoT deployments, particularly in the context of India. The paper also discusses the significance of certificate and compliance information in ensuring that environmental standards and laws are followed in GreenIoT implementations. The study concludes by outlining the open research challenges in the GreenIoT, including creating specific GreenIoT architectures, controlling infrastructure complexity, resolving environmental security issues, and investigating energy-efficient communication protocols. These difficulties offer chances for more research, invention, and development in the area. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers curious about the crosswords of IoT and sustainability.
