SMART 2020Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age

DANGERS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change posing constant threat ICT sector responsible for 2% of global carbon

emissions in 2007 Excepted to increase significantly by 2020

WHY IS THIS A CONCERN?

Damages the environment greatly Increases the rate of climate change Negative image on the industry ICT estimated to consume 1.43

GtCO2e (billion tonnes of carbon dioxide) in 2020

It is our duty to introduce an effective strategy that can change this outcome

SMART 2020 INITIATIVE

Planned initiative to reduce the levels of carbon emission in 2020

Extensive reports show that this feasible plan can significantly reduce carbon emission

Will have long term effect

Enable other sectors to become more efficient through smart technology

SMART MOTOR SYSTEMS

Devices that convert electricity into power Manufacturing devices such as transformers Smart motor systems will only apply as much

energy as required for the desired output Global adoption could see savings of €68

Billion in 2020

SMART LOGISTICS

The logistics of managing operations has been observed as being highly inefficient

Hardware and software can be produced to help manage such operations

Can provide inventory analysis, frequency of operations and calculate fuel efficiency

Savings could reach €280 billion in 2020

SMART BUILDINGS

Systems that can be applied to new and old buildings to maintain carbon emission

Make the design and construction of new buildings more efficient

Introduce software to existing buildings to manage standard systems

Implementation could save €216 billion in 2020

SMART GRID

Smart grid enables generators to route power more efficiently

Replace inefficient and outdated power infrastructure with modern, efficient and long term systems

Paves way for energy efficient electronics Most carbon efficient opportunity, reduction

of 2.03 GtCO2e in 2020, worth €79 billion

CONCLUSION Electronics sector carbon footprint increasing Adopting new ‘smart’ technology can

significantly decrease this problem worldwide Proposed solutions designed with a long term

vision Implementing these ideas could see a

decrease of 7.8 GtCO2e in carbon emissions (15%)

Industry saves €553 billion in energy costs and an additional €91 billion in carbon saved
