1 GÈANT3 Carbon Footprint 2009 Jørgen Moth, UNI-C. (jorgen.moth@uni-c.dk)

2 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 2 Carbon footprint? the ‘carbon footprint’ measures the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, organization, event or product

3 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 3 DANTE, City House, Hills Road, Cambridge, UK

4 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 4 GÉANT Network

5 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 5 Question: GHG/Year due to GÉANT/DANTE? GÉANT Climate impact 200 kg CO 2 e/year ? 200 tonnes CO 2 e/year ? 2000 tonnes CO 2 e/year? 20.000 tonnes CO 2 e/year? 200.000 tonnes CO 2 e/year ? 2 mio tonnes CO 2 e/year ? (Total Europe about 5000 mio tonnes CO2e/year)

6 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 6 Answered by GN3/NA5/task5 2000 tonnes CO 2 e in 2009 Corresponding to 200 Danish Citizens 0,00004 % of European total

7 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 7 Who are GN3/NA3/task5? GN3: Multi-Gigabit European Research and Education Network and Associated Services NA3: Networking Activity 3 – Status and trends Task 5: Study of Environmental impact Partners: HEAnet (Ireland - Mike Norris) NIIF (Hungary - Tamas Maray) PSNC (Poland - Rafal Sowinsky, Robert Pekal, Artur Juszczyk) NORDUnet (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden – Lars Fischer, Jørgen Moth)

8 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 8 GN3 Budget (Mio EURO)

9 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 9 How to calculate and report? Use the ISO 14064 standard

10 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 10 Which GHG emissions? Scope 1: own emissions – standby generators, own cars, own heating,.. Scope 2: indirect emissions – imported energy, heating and electricity Scope 3: other indirect emissions – e.g. transportation Stemming from the operation of the GÉANT network by DANTE

11 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 11 GÉANT/DANTE Baseline audit (GHG Report) Scope 1 emissions Nothing (no own cars; fuel to stand-by generators ignored) Scope 2 emissions  Office – light, heating & cooling, equipment  Datacentres – routers, switches, services  Backbone - ILAs Scope 3 emissions Transport – business, commuting

12 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 12 Calculation of Scope 2 GHG emissions A two step procedure is used: 1)Heating and electricity consumption data provided by DANTE (Kudos to Guy Roberts!) 2)Consumption values multiplied by GHG conversion factors retrieved from UK and EU data bases http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/business/reporting/conversion-factors.htm http://lct.jrc.ec.europa.eu/assessment/data

13 TNC2010 31 May – 3 June, 2010 13 Calculation of Scope 3 GHG emissions Business travels and commuting by car, bus, taxi or train: The distances covered are multiplied by the corresponding GHG conversion factors from the UK DEFRA guidelines http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/business/reporting/ onversion-factors.htm Business flights: The emissions are obtained by the ICAO Carbon emission calculator: http://www2.icao.int/en/carbonoffset/Pages/default.aspx
