Green IT and Sustainability


Information Technology energy demand growing 12X overall demand

Data Centers consumed 180B kwh in 2007, will double in next 2 to 4 yrs.

While IT only accounts for 2% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the impact is huge

100 units of energy production drives only 3 unitsof productive computing on average

e-waste cannot be ignored – 1 billion computers potential scrap by 2010

Opportunities Abound in Information Technology


Today, businesses understand the need to drive greater efficiencies by taking action on energy, the environment and sustainability.

LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDSGovernmental regulations and laws are designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, protect natural resources and limit further damage.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIESWorldwide demand for greener products, technologies and services has opened up the best emerging market opportunities since the Internet boom of the 1990s.

STAKEHOLDER EXPECTATIONS From investors to market analysts, from employees to consumers and NGOs, the clamor for consideration of environmental and economic consequences of activities is growing.

COSTS AND AVAILABILITYLeaders face rising costs and uncertain availability of energy, waste disposal, water and raw materials. Risks for physical assets due to climate change and global warming are real.

Green IT vs. Other Abatement Options

…or you could remove 3,505,401 cars and light trucks from company fleets.

…or you could plant 502,440,757 tree seedlings and grow them for 10 years.

…or you could manage and preserve 16,329,325 acres of pine forest per year.

..or you could recycle 6,597,707 tons of company waste instead of sending to landfills.

20% efficiency

improvement could save 36 billion

kwh or 22m tons of CO2

What if all data centers were were green?


IBM’s Energy & Environment Framework


“IBM to reallocate $1 billion a year”To guarantee the research and development funding for IT energy efficiency technology. Create an 850 member worldwide IBM “Green Team” of energy efficiency specialists.Convert our facilities to Green Data Centers using IBM energy efficient technologies and services.Use virtualization as the technology accelerator for our Green Data Centers.

Re-affirmed IBM’s long standing commitment to environmental responsibility1. IBM energy conservation actions from 1990 – 2005 reduced or avoided CO2 emissions by

an amount equal to 40% of its 1990 emissions while saving $250 million. Achieve a 12% reduction between 2005-2012.

2. IBM will double the compute capacity of our Green Data Centers by 2010 — without increasing power consumption, thus avoiding 5 billion kilowatt hours per year and CO2 emissions equivalent to taking 1M cars off the road.

IBM as a Case Study

RECYCLING

GREEN POWER & EMISSIONS

In 2008, IBM continued to recycle 98% of computer equipment assigned to scrap.

IBM Printer Supplies Return ProgramRecycled & diverted over 15 tonnes of print consumables in Australia.

VIC Govt Pilot: ByteBackOver 55 tonnes of old IBM branded computerscollected and processed.

GreenPower PurchasesGovernment accredited renewable energy, equal to 3.5 GWh.

In 2008, Australian operations reduced electricity use by 4,000,000 Kilowatts – more than $450 000 of electricity and over 4,000 tonnes of CO².

Emissions ReductionsEmissions from Australian Employee air travel reduced by 28% – over 7,600 tonnes CO2 .

WASTE MINIMISATION

Biodiversity

In 2007, We recycled 57% of our non-hazardous waste, as we work towards a recycling target of 75% by 2010.

Paper Reduction- 9% Year-to-Year reduction in paper usage.

Head Office Recycling2008 TBC, but 2007, 89% of non-hazardous waste

generated at HQ in Sydney was diverted from landfill and primarily recycled. 223 Tonnes.

Working with State Forestry to keep rare plant communities and fauna on site, and in good condition. Less than 1% of these vegetation types remain intact throughout the Sydney region.


Green and Beyond: A smarter planet empowers organizations to do more, using less.

StatoilHydro: Links advanced real-time sensing capabilities in the field to collaborate and analyze resources across the enterprise for an expected 5% boost in oil and gas production and 30% cost reduction.

Landmark: Revolutionizes petroleum frontier exploration in Texas by integrating data sources to increase the likelihood of finding profitable sources of oil.

Stockholm, Sweden: An intelligent toll system in the city center resulted in 20% less traffic, 40% lower emissions and 40,000 additional users of the public transportation system.

IBM’s Carbon Tradeoff Modeler: Manages and performs analytics to help companies reduce emissions and make smarter, more cost-effective energy choices.
