IT’s Contribution to the Climate Change ③
○ GeSI (Global E-Sustainability Initiative) reports in June 2008; ・In 2020, IT sector will emit 2.8% of the global CO2 emission. ・However, IT can reduce 7.8 billion CO2-ton from BAU (business as usual) in 2020. This reduction equals 15% of BAU emission in 2020, and is 5 times as much as their own emission.

Provides solid basis for Green ICT policy10 points recommendation
•Coordinating ICT, climate, and energy policies•Adopting life cycle perspectives•Supporting research and innovation•Developing green ICT skills•Increasing public awareness•Encouraging best practices•Governments leading by examples•Improving public procurement•Encouraging measurement•Setting policy targets and increasing evaluation
Japan has been pushing its green IT policy which meets this recommendation.
OECD Recommendation (Issued on 8 April, 2010)
International Partnerships and Collaborations
• Hold international symposiums• Collaboration with overseas
organizations
•Government and industries of U.S. , Europe and Asia
• Assist the development of innovative technologies
• Promote the dissemination of energy-efficient technologies and products
• Standardization of measuring environmental contributions
Strengthen Cooperation among Industry, Academia, and Government
Green IT Initiative in Japan
•Establishment of the Green IT Promotion Council (February,2008)IT-related industry groups, research institutes, universities, government bodies, and others work together to promote Green IT

Framework
- Consumers can receive about 5% of the purchase price of “Green electronics” (energy efficient A/C, Refrigerator, TV) as the Eco Point
- Extra 5% is added in case of TV(for the promotion of the digital broadcast)
- Recycling charge is also added to the eco point - Consumers can use eco point when they buy eco-friendly products or

○ The First Asia Green IT Forum was held on October 6, 2009, bringing together delegates from governments and industries of eight Asian countries (Japan, China, Korea, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam).
○ The participants issued a joint statement to enhance their future cooperation.
【 Asia Green IT Forum 】 < Specific items of common understanding >
① Importance of green IT in combating global warming
② Mutual cooperation in Asia for green IT activities
③ Forum continuation and sharing information among countries

Cooperation with Asia③-Survey on Energy Saving by IT
The government of Japan provides “Survey on Energy Saving by IT” which utilizes Japanese high technology energy saving/control technologies in ASEAN countries.Japan side pays the cost.Member companies of Green IT Promotion Council conduct the
survey.The survey is conducted on the following facilities.
Survey on Energy Saving by IT
No. Facilities Outlines of survey1 Data Center Facility survey / facility optimization planning /
effectiveness monitoring / facility plan etc.2 Public Facility (airport, school, hospital
etc.)Air-conditioning operation and maintenance control / ventilation facility control / lighting facility control etc.
3 Plant, Factory (petroleum industry, chemical industry, electric industry, paper/pulp industry, steel industry etc.)
Air-conditioning facility survey / fan & compressor survey / Operation and maintenance survey / efficiency survey / advanced control etc.
- In January, facility managers had an energy saving training in Japan.
Cooperation with Asia④-Asia Green IT seminar

Tasks for the Future①

○ More and more people recognize that IT can contribute to reduction of GHG emission.
○ However, people do not act without economic incentives. ○ “Measurement”, “report” and “verification” (MRV) is the core
concept in the climate change discussion. Benchmark is necessary for Green IT discussion. Without such tools, we cannot discuss incentives.
“Green of IT” “Green by IT”
IEC standard for refrigerator energy consumption test procedure bases on the direct cooling refrigerator which is popular in the EU. It fails to reflect non-direct system which is popular in the Asia Pacific.
Measures to assess the BEMS effect have not yet been established internationally.
