Network of Excellence inInternet Science
Kick-off Meeting
Brussels, 21-22 December 2011
Bart LannooInterdisciplinary institute for BroadBandTechnology (IBBT)
FP7-ICT-2011.1.6-288021 EINS
JRA8 Internet for Sustainability
 
Brussels, December 21-22, 2011
WP Objectives
How could the Future Internet help to relieve the mainproblems affecting sustainability at planetary scale?
o
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions need to be drasticallydiminished during the coming decades
o
European 20-20-20 objective: by 2020,
20% increase of energy efficiency
20% increase of renewable energy sources
20% reduction of CO2 emissions
³Green ICT´ vs. ³ICT for Green´Multi-disciplinary approach required
o
Cf. rebound effects
INS Kick-off Meeting
 
Brussels, December 21-22, 2011
How green is ICT?
Footprint of ICT itself 
o
 About 4% of primary energy today
o
 About 8% of primary energy by 2020
ICT lowering footprint in other sectors
o
Potential high
o
Rebound effects (realistic savings much lower)
2 key research tracks:
o
µGreen ICT¶:
Energy evaluation of different network paradigms
New energy-sparing network paradigms (Future Internet)
additional challenges: full LCA, not only CO2, «
o
µICT for Green¶:
Tele-« through high-quality networks
Energy optimization in heating, transport, power grids, «
additional challenge: estimating rebound effects
