Session 5: Building a Green Future Methodologies for Assessing the impact of ICTs on Climate Change Keith Dickerson Chairman SG5 WP3 ICT & Climate Change International Telecommunication Union 1 Overview What has ITU-T done so far? How are we measuring the impact of ICTs on Climate Change? What is ITU-T going to do next? Who are we working with? 2 ITU-T Timeline for ICTs and Climate Change Dec 2007: ITU Technology Watch report on ICTs & CC Jul 2008: TSAG sets up Focus Group on ICTs & CC 4 deliverables including methodology Oct 2008: WTSA Resolution 73 on ICTs & CC Apr 2009: FG ICTs & CC report to TSAG May 2009: SG5 renamed “Environment & Climate Change” and sets up: New WP3 on “ICT and Climate Change” JCA on ICT & CC Mar 2010: Approval of L.1000 Universal Charger Oct 2010: Consent of L.1400 Methodology Umbrella ITU-T WP3/5 ICTs & Climate Change Q17 Coordination and Planning of ICT&CC related standardization Q18 Methodology of environmental impact assessment of ICT Q19 Power feeding systems Q20 Data Collection for Energy Efficiency for ICTs over the lifecycle Q21 Environmental protection and recycling of ICT equipments/facilities Methodology Recommendations under Preparation L.1400 General Umbrella, consented on 1 October 2010 Covers definition of different types of environmental impacts, and general principles for the evaluation of ICT environmental impacts Focuses on energy and GHG emissions. Other environmental impacts, e.g. raw material depletion or water impact tackled later Environmental impact of ICT goods, networks and services Covers direct and indirect impacts of ICT Expected mid-2011 Environmental impact of ICT in organisations Includes 3 scopes of ISO 14064-1 Expected mid-2011 Environmental impact of ICT projects Environmental impact of ICT in cities Environmental impact of ICT in countries or group of countries Environmental aspects of ICT 6 Impact of ICT goods, networks and services Agreement to focus on energy and GHG emission impacts, over the entire life cycle Agreement to provide guidance on how to evaluate direct and indirect impacts when using ICT products, networks and services, in comparison with a baseline scenario without ICT Agreement to establish the recommendation in compliance with ISO 14040-44 principles Draft recommendation in progress, usage of the results of the Focus Group “ICT and Climate Change” Recommendation expected mid-2011 Impact of own GHG emissions LCA require to set Functional Unit System boundary Allocation procedure Case study: LCA of Wired Network Internet Service Provider Boundary for evaluation Transfer facility LAN switch Router Router LAN switch Access network equipment Subscriber module Metallic cable Subscriber station DSU DSLAM OLT Metallic cable ADSL modem Optical cable ONU PC PC PC ISDN ADSL FTTH CO 2 emissions [kg-CO 2/year/subscriber] Disposal/recycling 120.0 Use 100.0 Production Recovery by recycling 80.0 60.0 40.0 20.0 0.0 -20.0 ISDN ADSL FTTH Impact of own GHG emissions LCA require to set Functional Unit System boundary Allocation procedure Case study: LCA of Wireless Network 0.7 Use 50 Production 40 Disposal/ recycling 30 20 10 0 -10 Energy consumption[GJ/year/subscriber] CO2 emissions [kg-CO2/year/subscriber] 60 0.6 Use 0.5 Production 0.4 Disposal/ recycling 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -0.1 Impact of ICT in Organisations Agreement to focus on energy and GHG emission impacts Agreement to establish the recommendation in compliance with ISO 14064-1 principles (which comes from GHG Protocol), including 3 scopes Draft recommendation in progress Recommendation expected mid-2011 Impact of ICT Projects Scope: agreement to evaluate initially only greenhouse gases involved in GHG emission reductions or GHG removal enhancements, over the entire life cycle Agreement to evaluate projects in the ICT sector and also projects using ICT to mitigate GHG emissions in other economic sectors Agreement to establish the recommendation in compliance with ISO 14064-2 Agreement to submit the recommendation to UNFCCC for potential inclusion on CDM-like mechanisms Draft recommendation in progress Environmental Load Reductions possible using ICTs Consumption of materials Power/Energy consumption Movement of people Movement of materials Improved efficiency of office space Storage of goods Improved work efficiency Waste 12 Impact on other sectors Teleworking Typical CO2 emissions per unit area of office space Japan USA Impact on other sectors - Videoconferencing Evaluation Result Evaluation Result 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Reduction of 53% (91%) Disposal Use Production Conference on a trip Video conference Energy Consumption(GJ/year) Video conference held between Tokyo and Yokohama, every working day (240 times / year), eight hours each time, participated in by two people from each office Energy Consumption(GJ/year) Video conference held between Tokyo and Yokohama, once a week (48 times / year), one hour each time, participated in by two people from each office 25 20 Reduction of 52% (59%) Disposal Use Production 15 10 5 0 Conference on a trip Video conference Cooperations include: Digital Europe
