    Thank You !

  • Is ICT green ?Mario PickavetGhent University - IBBTBelgium

  • Some quotes

    2007, Justin Mann, TechSpot.com

    Server power doubled over the past 5 years

  • Some quotes

    1999, Marc Mills, The internet begins with coal

    It now seems reasonable to forecast that in the foreseeable future, certainly within two decades, 30 to 50 percent of the nations electric supply will be required to meet the direct and indirect needs of the Internet.

  • Some quotes

    2002, Walter Baer et al., Electricity requirements for a digital society

    ICT networks, computers, and office equipment In none of our 2021 scenarios does this percentage exceed 5.5 percent of the national electricity total.

  • 1. Realistic assessment1. Realistic assessment

  • Energy worldwide today

    Some key conclusions:Electricity = 30% of energyIn terms of CO2 emissions:

    1 W of electrical energy 2.1 W of primary energy

  • ICT use phase: typical figures

    Equipment type Power consumption during active mode (average load)

    desktop PC with LCD display 100 W desktop PC with CRT display 150 W laptop PC 30 W CRT TV 150 W (0.34 W per square inch) LCD TV 190 W (0.29 W per square inch) Plasma TV 330 W (0.34 W per square inch) Gaming console 190 W Volume server 220 W Mid-range server 700 W High-end server 10000 W Core routers and switches 5 W per Gbit/s throughput Access routers and switches > 10 W per Gbit/s Home gateway 7 W GSM Base Station 700 W WiMAX Base Station 400 W

  • ICT use phase: worldwide today

    Conclusions:Total = 156 GW = 8% of global electricity consumptionNo dominating front, several fronts are important

  • Future estimations

    Conclusions:1/7th of electricity goes to ICT use phase in 2020Power efficiency key research topic !!!

    (despite ICT being enabler of EE in other sectors)

  • ICT complete life cycleExample*: typical PC with CRT screen (2000)

    Manufacturing phase:Electrical: 1550 MJ 3875 MJ primary energyNon-electrical: 4850 MJ primary energy

    Use phase:Electrical: 3500 MJ 8800 MJ primary energy

    Disposal phase:Highly depending on recycling/landfill/

    Conclusions:Manufacturing phase and use phase: same order of magnitude

    longer life cycle is key challenge

  • 2. Directions for improvement

  • Hardware improvements

    Room for improvement ?Example 1: electricity use laptop vs. desktop: 1/4thExample 2: different TV technologiesStandby power lossesEfficiency of power supplies

    Driving forces:Growing LT energy pricesGovernmental actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissionEnergy labelsGreen as marketing factor

  • Software optimizations

    Impact of operating systemElectricity consumptionLifetime

    Intelligent power management of computers and screens

    Server parksVirtual server configurationsSwitching off servers during quiet hours

  • New network paradigms

    Initiatives today:IEEE Study Group on Energy-Efficient EthernetADSL low power modeLow power access technologies

    Clean slate approachesE.g.

    Terminals: only I/OContent: reduction of #copiesEnergy-efficiency key driver

  • 3. Conclusions3. Conclusions

  • Main conclusions

    Is ICT green ? About 4% of primary energy todayAbout 8% of primary energy by 2020

    Is the situation hopeless ? Much room for improvementResearch actions to be taken urgently

    Bring down energy consumption by up to 70 %

    Scale up use of renewable energy in the network

    Conclusion

    Traffic in communication networks will increase further Main areas for energy savings in ICT of 2 % of total consumption

    ICT equipment more power efficient including protocols Network deployment concepts Renewable power generation

    In mobile communications main power consumption in base stations

    In fixed networks main power consumption in access networksUse of ICT to reduce energy consumption in other sectors, which correspond to 98 % of total consumption

    Combination of different measures necessary to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions
