GeSI is a Global International Non for Profit Association to address sustainability (triple bottom line - social, environmental and economical)

industry led and open to full ICT industry manufacturers, operators and regional associations partnered with United Nations Environmental

Programme (UNEP) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU), World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the World resource Institute (WRI) and the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC)

Carbon Disclosure Project (Global Initiative of Institutional Investors representing more than 57 trillion USD of Asset under management) and WWF

PCs remain largest contributor to emissions

The global footprint by sub-sector

REDUCING ICT SECTOR EMISSIONS

THE ENABLING EFFECT

SMART 2020 EXAMINED:> DEMATERIALISATION> SMART MOTORS> SMART LOGISTICS > SMART BUILDINGS> SMART GRIDS

DEMATERIALISATION

The substitution of high carbon products and activities with low carbon alternatives:

> Replacing face-to-face meetings with tele- and videoconferencing

> Remote working

> Paper with email/online billing

> CDs with online music

Total abatement potential of dematerialisation in 2020: 460 Mt CO2e

SMART BUILDINGS

> Global building emissions responsible for 8% total emissions in 2002 (3.36 Gt CO2e) - 11.7 Gt CO2e if energy to run buildings is included.

SMART BUILDINGS

> Technologies used to make the design, construction and operations of buildings more efficient, applicable to both new and existing property.

> Building management systems (BMS) run heating and cooling systems.

> Software to switch off PCs, monitors and lights when not in use.

> Improved building design for energy efficiency.

SMART BUILDINGS

Total abatement potential of SMART buildings in 2020: 1.68 Gt CO2e

SMART BUILDINGS

HURDLES TO ADOPTION OVERCOMING THE HURDLES

> Lack of incentives to invest in smart building technology>Unclear business case for investing in energy efficiency > Buildings sector slow to adopt new technology> Lack of skilled technicians> Difficult to apply common standards to all buildings> Interoperable technologies exist but are not uniformly deployed> Energy companies reluctant to encourage efficiency and sell less energy

> Develop new business models> Develop new financial mechanisms to support investment > Prioritise sectors with large share of addressable energy costs e.g. retail> Develop green building valuation tools> Support long term solutions for industry change> Better training for operators and information for users> Develop standards to enable BMS interoperability

SMART GRIDS

> Power sector responsible for 24% global emissions in 2002.

> Expected to be responsible for 14.26 Gt CO2e in 2020.

SMART GRIDS

> Smart meters – customer information on energy use

> Interactive energy generation

> Advanced grid management systems

> Demand management systems (dynamic demand)

> Reduce transmissions and distribution (T&D) losses

> Integration of renewables

SMART GRIDS

Total abatement potential of SMART grids in 2020: 2.03 Gt CO2e

The size of the “opportunity”

ICT FOOTPRINT ENABLING

ENABLING OPPORTUNITY: The ICT can facilitate carbon reductions across sectors world-wide up to 15% of total emissions by 2020, or 7.8GtCO2 emissions through products and services. This is an opportunity 5x bigger than the size of the sector’s own footprint.
