4. JISC and Green ICT Production Burdens A typical semiconductor facility: - 591 million gallons DI water - 5.2 million pounds of chemicals - 8.8 million kwh of electricity PC/LCD production - 1,000+ hazardous substances High energy materials - 2.5 tonnes of rock - for 1 gram of gold

5. JISC and Green ICT The Opportunity Smarter systems, buildings and processes Re-think the campus and the curriculum De-materialisation, dis- aggregation and dis- intermediation HE as exemplar for low-carbon IT Green as driver for other efficiency gains ICT as cost versus ICT as opportunity Picture: Josie Fraser Some rights reserved

6. JISC and Green ICT The Programme Key objectives for the programme Greening the sector - attitudinal and behaviour change embedded across the sector New sustainable procurement paradigms Sustainability seen as key driver and yardstick for sector activities Harnessing of sector research activities Intended outputs from this programme  Substantive body of knowledge illuminating areas of uncertainty in respect to Green ICT  Exemplar projects providing leadership and best practice example Outcomes  Reduction of sector carbon footprint and associated energy costs  Increased capacity and expertise across the sector in sustainable ICT  Improved reputation of sector and UK as leaders in this area  Reduction in waste generated by ICT use

7. JISC and Green ICT Looking ahead – 2020 Agendas Technology/material transitions –New storage technologies Energy aware software Net zero carbon - data centres – Paper Mills in Finland next to Hydro Dam - networks - supply chains Local integration Greening the cloud
