ICT: Growing Environmental Footprint
Servers, including cooling (23%)
Fixed-Line Telecoms
(15%)
Mobile Telecoms (9%)
LAN and Office Telecoms (7%)
Printers (6%)
PCs and Monitors (39%) (excluding embodied energy)
In 2007, Data centres produced almost as much
GHG as Malaysia – McKinsey
Source: Gartner
US DC power consumption has doubled in the last 5 years and will double
again in the next 5 – US EPA
Just a single Google data centre situated in Oregon, US, consumes energy equivalent to that of the entire city of Geneva, in Switzerland
- ITU Director Malcolm Johnson
The ICT sector currently contributes 2-3% to global emissions but this is set to
double in the next two years- ITU Director Johnson
Power makes up >50% of the cost of running a DC

Although ICTs account for only around 2.5 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions, they have the potential to be used in reducing the other 97.5 per cent of emissions in other sectors.
ITU and Climate Change - ITU
Specific ICT opportunities identified in this report can lead to emission reductions five times the size of the sector’s own footprint, up to 7.8 GtCO2e, or 15% of total BAU emissions by 2020.

Lack of standards
Lack of awareness
Lack of capability
Major Strategy Thrusts
Standards Development: Conduct DC energy benchmarking study and work with industry to develop Green DC standards
Government taking the lead: Implement metering, conduct energy audits and adopt “green” criteria in servers/DC procurement once available
Capability Development: Institute training and certification programs to enable the local ICT industry to tap into the growing Green DC consulting market
Communications Programme: Tailor existing government incentives to be more directly applicable to DCs and develop an integrated whole-of-govt Green DC message
R&D: Work with industry and government agencies to align R&D efforts in Green DC

Standards DevelopmentSingapore Standard for Green DC
> Developed in partnership with ITSC Formation of Green DC WG in Nov 2008 Drew players from across the value chain
To be published as a Singapore Standard by SPRING Singapore
> Objectives of the standard Provide a common reference for DCs to go green Provide framework to help DCs establish necessary systems and
processes to improve energy efficiency and achieve continuous improvement in their facilities
Recommend metrics and best practices for DC efficiency Serve as basis for certification

What is a Green Data Centre?
Definition in the standard:
A data centre designed and/or operated for optimised energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact
