6. IEEE 802.3az • IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet • Project scope: The proposed standard will include a symmetric protocol to facilitate transition to and from lower power consumption in response to changes in network demand. The transition will not cause loss of link as observed by higher layer protocols. The project will also specify PHY enhancements as required for a selected subset of PHY types to improve energy efficiency. • Project purpose: Most Ethernet links have significant periods of low utilization or no utilization for application data traffic. This project will take advantage of this to provide energy savings in the PHY and enable energy savings in the system which will deliver reduction in total cost of operation. http://ieee802.org/3/az/index.html

11. IEEE & Greenhouse Gas Emission • IEEE P1595, Standard for Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Emission Credits from Small Hydro; Wind Power; and Grid Baseline Projects • The Standard is intended to cover the measurement and quantification of CO2 reductions for emissions credits for specific renewable generation projects in the electricity supply industry, namely Wind Power and Small Hydro. This requires a "cradle to grave" project life-cycle approach and also the consideration of the Grid Base-line conditions to assess the reduction in emissions from the grid generation displaced by the "clean" power and energy from the project.
