2. The Different Faces of Green ICT
Environmental optimization of ICT products
Hazardous materials / Resource-efficiency / Waste (Recycling)
Product-lifecycle CO2-aspects (PCF, LCA)
Energy-efficiency / CO2-reduction in ICT
Hardware-aspects and systems-management
ICT-Concepts / -architectures (virtualization)
Efficiency-aspects in the data center facility
Energy-efficiency / CO2-reduction by ICT
Direct potentials for power-grids / buildings / traffic, indirect effects by factor-substitution
in business processes (materials, travel, space)
Assessment methods to quantify the enabling effects of ICT
Transparency and control by applying “carbon management“

6. Energy Efficiency Discussion in the EU-27
The EU 20-20-20-initiative (2007)
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%
Increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix by 20 %-points;
Improving energy efficiency by 20%
is failing.
with regard to its EE-objective: “The Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 4 February
2011 acknowledged that the 2020 20% energy efficiency objective is not on track”
A stronger plan is underway:
“On 8 March 2011 the Commission adopted a new Energy Efficiency Plan in order to get the EU on track
of achieving its 20% energy efficiency …”
“Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on energy
efficiency …“ exists since May 2011

9. Proposed Directive, June 22, 2011
23 Articles (81 pp.) detailing: scope, energy -use/supply /distribution, horizontal
provisions, execution (Details at http://ec.europa.eu/energy/efficiency/ )
Relevance for ICT
“Efficiency in Energy Use” (chapter II) includes
• Public bodies shall purchase only products in the highest ee-class
• Public bodies have to set-up and publish inventories of buildings including ee-ratings (by 31
Dec 2012, annually)
• Energy distributors/retailers shall ensure energy-savings of >1.5% of previous year
consumption at their final customers
• Member states shall establish a system of penalties, including financial penalties for non-
compliance with this system
• Member states shall ensure the availability of efficient high-quality energy audits and
incentive schemes (tax credits subsidies) for SME to undergo such audits (by 2014)
“Efficiency in Energy Supply” /chapter III) is a description of the Smart Grid adoption plan
for the EU in tightened regulatory conditions

10. Immediate Consequences
Public sector procurement will probably be restricted to Energy Star 6 rated PCs
as soon as this new standard becomes available
In all sectors, energy-wasting inefficient IT will become embarrassing
Energy-efficiency management systems will become a normal routine, at least in
large companies and institutions
Most systems will rely on IT-support by new applications and will comply to EN 16001
Continuous improvement processes will be part of those systems. As a result, efficiency
improvements in energy-using products, including ICT-products, will be linked to stronger
(financial) incentives than today

16. Summary and Recommendations
Energy-efficiency in client-PCs has reached a mature level, further progress will be
slow, alternate concepts are existing, particularly the virtualized client
Server energy-efficiency will continue to grow rapidly (for consolidated
environments). Depreciation-periods should be adapted (shortened) to enjoy
resulting business benefits
European policy makers are serious about the 20-20-20 target. Be prepared for
EU-initiated laws on taxation and subsidies forcing increase of energy-efficiency
In electricity distribution, buildings and traffic/transport
by adoption of energy-efficiency management (obligations and/or financial
“motivations”) to report status and improvement-plans
Most energy-efficiency increase will be related to the use of advanced ICT-products
and –services. Methodologies for realistic and reliable impact assessment are on
the horizon.
