Introduction

• Global warming, climate change, green agenda,
  sustainable development, etc. are becoming more
  and more important and therefore it is relevant
  to address these issues also in the context of
  standardization.
• Since 1970, the production of greenhouse gases
  has risen by more than 70 , and this is having a
  global effect in warming the planet, causing
  changing weather patterns, rising sea-levels,
  desertification, shrinking ice cover and other
  worrying long-term effects.
• Sustainable development is development that
  meets the needs of the present without
  compromising the ability of future generations to
  meet their own needs.

ICT and global CO2 emissions

• ICT contributes as much as 7 of global Gross
  Domestic Product (GDP).

Strategic Direction

• Climate change is a concern for all of humanity
  and requires efforts on the part of all sectors
  of society, including the Information and
  Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector.
• ETSI is strengthening its efforts further in 2008
  by
• Improving the tools for electronic work
• Introducing a check list for energy saving for
  all new work items
• Initiating a number of new work items in the ICT
  and environment area
• ETSI proposes to collaborate on the Green Agenda
  with other partners through the Global Standards
  Collaboration (GSC)

Proposed Resolution

• Recognizing
• that global warming, climate change, green
  agenda, sustainable development, etc. are
  becoming more and more important
• that since 1970, the production of greenhouse
  gases has risen by more than 70 , and this is
  having a global effect in warming the planet,
  causing changing weather patterns, rising
  sea-levels, desertification, shrinking ice cover
  and other worrying long-term effects.
• that sustainable development is development that
  meets the needs of the present without
  compromising the ability of future generations to
  meet their own needs.
• that climate change is a concern for all of
  humanity and requires efforts on the part of all
  sectors of society, including the Information and
  Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector.
• that ICT stands for 2 of the global CO2
  emissions1
• that ICT contributes as much as 7 of global
  Gross Domestic Product (GDP)1.
• 1 year 2007

10
Proposed Resolution

• Considering
• that many GSC Participating Standards
  Organizations and ITU are already active in the
  area of ICT and the environment
• Resolves
• to encourage Participating Standards
  Organizations (PSOs) and Observer Organizations
  of the Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) to
  continue to
• support ICT and environment as a High Interest
  Subject
• bring a spirit of collaboration and mutual
  support to the development of ICT in an
  environmental friendly way and in particular
  addressing
• awareness of ICT and the environment
• energy definitions, reference models and
  measurements methods in a harmonized way
• implementation and usage of ICT standardization
  results that have a positive impact on the
  environment
• electronic working and its tools

ETSI published deliverables 1(2)

• TR 102 531 (2007-04)L Better determination of
  equipment power and energy consumption for
  improved sizing
• This document gives guidance on a more
  appropriate determination of equipment energy
  consumption with the goal to be able to realize a
  good design of power station and related power
  distribution network. A correct design help to
  have a better energy efficiency of power station
  with impact on the energy saving and with a not
  oversized dimensioning of power network permits
  to reduce the use of material (cupper) and as
  consequence a minor impact on the environmental
  and a cost reduction.
• TS 102 533 (2008-06) Measurement Methods and
  limits for Energy Consumption in Broadband
  Telecommunication Networks Equipment
• This document establishes an energy consumption
  measurement method for broadband
  telecommunication network equipment give
  contributions to fix target energy consumption
  value for wired broadband equipment including
  ADSL, VDSL.

ETSI published deliverables 2(2)

• EN 300 132-3 (2003-8) Power supply interface at
  the input to telecommunications equipment Part
  3 Operated by rectified current source,
  alternating current source or direct current
  source up to 400 V.
• This document standardizes a new power interface
  able to supply both telecom and ICT equipment.
  This solution permits to build only a power
  network, with backup, to supply energies at all
  type of equipment present in a data center
  without using UPS or AC/DC converters at 48 V so
  the global energetic efficiency of the entire
  system is greater that other solutions
  contributing and the energy saving.
• TR 102 530 Reduction of energy consumption in
  telecommunications equipment and related
  infrastructure.
• This document reports some techniques and some
  aspects to take in account during the evaluation
  of the possible reduction of energy consumption
  at equipment level and at installation level. The
  first version of this document refers principally
  at broadband equipment.

Active work items in ETSI 1(3)

• DTS/EE-00007 Environmental Engineering (EE)
  Energy efficiency of wireless access network
  equipment
• This work will establish wireless access network
  energy efficiency metrics, define efficiency
  parameters and measurement methods for wireless
  access network equipment. In the first phase
  GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and WiMAX is addressed.
• DTR/EE-00008 Environmental Impact Assessment of
  ICT including the Positive Impact by using ICT
  Services
• This work will define the methods to assess the
  environmental impacts of ICT, which have two
  aspects. i) Negative impact caused by the energy
  consumptions or CO2 emissions of operators of ICT
  equipments and sites including telecom network,
  users terminals, datacenters for residential and
  business services. Ii) Positive impact caused by
  energy saving or CO2 emission saving by using ICT
  services. We propose the method how to quantify
  such these impacts at national level.
