1. S MART 2020 Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age

2. D ANGERS 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

3. W HY 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

4. S MART 2020 I NITIATIVE 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

5. S MART M OTOR S YSTEMS 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

6. S MART L OGISTICS 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

7. S MART B UILDINGS 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

8. S MART G RID Smart grid enables generators to route power more efficiently Replace inefficient and outdated power infrastructure with modern, efficient and long term systems Paves way for energy efficient electronics Most carbon efficient opportunity, reduction of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

9. C ONCLUSION 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
