Description
IceCube-Gen2 is a proposed next-generation neutrino facility at the South Pole, designed to expand upon the achievements of the pioneering IceCube observatory. This contribution provides a comprehensive review of efforts to ensure the sustainability of IceCube-Gen2 and minimize its environmental impact in Antarctica and in world-wide collaboration activities. Scenarios for overcoming logistical challenges in detector construction and operations will be explored, including the potential use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. A cost-benefit analysis of energy sources for drilling will be presented. Further efforts to optimize the IceCube-Gen2 drilling operations will be discussed, along with studies aimed at minimizing the power consumption of detector modules, and evaluating efficient power distribution scenarios and computing resource usage.
