  1. Greenhouse Gas Protocol ICT Sector Supplement OverviewTelecommunications Network Services Chapter Update Gabrielle Ginér - BT Tom Okrasinski – Bell Labs CTO

  2. ICT sector supplement to support the GHGProtocol Product Standard • Initiative under auspices of GHG protocol (WRI / WBCSD): • Carbon Trust serving as 3rd party facilitator • GeSI formally represents ICT sector on Steering Committee • Standards process conforms to GHG Protocol best practices • Full stakeholder engagement process • Interested parties to register on GHGP website: http://www.ghgprotocol.org/feature/new-initiative-announced-help-ict-industry-measure-carbon-footprint Slide 2

  3. Overview of governance structure Convening Secretariat WRI, WBCSD, GeSI, Carbon Trust Steering Committee Founding companies, Carbon Trust, Advocacy Groups , Academia, NGOs • Stakeholder • Advisory Group • (open to all) • Environmental advocacies • Industry analysts • Governments • ICT customers (corporates) • Developing Countries • Technical Working Group • (Practitioners) • Companies • OEMs • Service Providers • Consultancies • Academia subgroup subgroup subgroup Slide 3

  4. Focus of the ICT sector supplement • Focus on implementation of the GHG Protocol – hence adheres to principles of GHG Protocol and its interpretation of ISO • “Practitioners Guide” • written by practitioners for practitioners • focus on how to assess GHG emissions of ICT products (goods & services) • examples / case studies • supporting data • Reference and use of existing work and approaches for embodied carbon - PAIA, iNEMI Slide 4

  5. ICT Sector Supplement to support the GHG Protocol Product Standard Introduction Infrastructure Enablement Service overview Appendices (building blocks) chapters chapters chapters Introduction General Guidance EXAMPLES: Methodology & Hardware / ICT Principles Telecoms Dematerial - equipment Data Items network isation Data Tables service (incl. remote collaboration) Proxy Data Secondary Data End user Desktop Energy devices managed management service References Servers & network Transportation Cloud Glossary equip computing service, data E - commerce centres and Ancillary & software components Overview of ICT sector supplement structure Slide 5

  6. Relationship with other standards ISO 14040 & 14044 GHG Protocol Product Standard ICT sector supplement GHGP ICT sector supplement: covers goods and services, focus on assessment of greenhouse gases (no other environmental factors) ITU-T methodology: more high level, focused on different activities such as utilization of software, storage of goods and work processes. Does not divide into use phase, embodied emissions and operational activities. ETSI methodology: wider LCA - covers for example emissions to water and ground, water and land use. Doesn’t offer assessment/calculation approach EC pilot project will test compatibility Slide 6

  8. Telecom Network Services GuideObjectives • Provides guidance for ICT stakeholders in calculating GHG emissions associated with telecom network services (TNS) • Offers methodology approachand options to identify GHG reduction opportunities over the life cycle of a service • Provides a means of understanding emissions sources and prioritizing them to then help in reducing them • It is NOT a guide for product labeling or comparative assertion • TNS comprises 3 core elements: • Customer domain • Service platform • Operational activities • Guide covers: • Scope, boundary, functional unit • Methodologies, hierarchical approaches, references for details • Generic topics covered in Intro / Overview Life Cycle Stages for a Telecommunications Network Service Slide 8

  9. Telecommunications Network Services GuideGHG emissions elements Telecommunications Network Service (TNS) Elements in GHG Emissions Assessment Customer Domain Service Platform Operational Activities GHG Emissions LCA Phase Use e c a In-use GHG emissions associated with labor and non-ICT infrastructure supporting Customer Domain and Service Platform equipment In-use GHG emissions associated with ICT network and service platform supporting / connecting (but not in) customer domain “Use” Includes: In-use GHG emissions associated with ICT end-user / customer premises equipment • Equipment / network use • Repairs / maintenance “Embodied” Includes: Embodied f b d • Raw materials acquisition & pre-processing • Production • Product distribution / retail • Installation • End-of-life treatment Embodied GHG emissions associated with Service Platform equipment / infrastructure Embodied GHG emissions associated with Operational / non-ICT capital infrastructure Embodied GHG emissions associated with Customer Domain equipment / infrastructure Slide 9

  10. Telecommunications Network Services GuideGHG Emissions Elements – Customer Domain Slide 10

  11. Telecommunications Network Services GuideGHG emissions elements – Service Platform Slide 11

  12. Telecommunications Network Services GuideGHG Emissions Elements – Operational Activities Slide 12

  13. Telecommunications Network Services GuideGHG emissions elements – Customer domain ratio approach Customer Domain: Use / Embodied Ratio Modeling Approach - Example Example: a small chassis router has typical active power consumption of 100 W at 24x7 utilization, and a life expectancy of 7 years Step 1: calculate the router’s use-phase GHG emissions: Euse = 100 W x 8760 hrs/yr x 7 yrs x 1 kwh/1000 Wh x 0.537 kg CO2e/kwh* Euse = 3293 kg CO2e*GHG conversion factor for appropriate region of use Step 2: estimate the router’s embodied-phase GHG emissions using historical LCA data showing the LCA ratio for use / embodied emissions for different equipment types (see table) Eemb : Euse = 20% : 80% = 3293 kg CO2e x (20% / 80%) = 823 kg CO2e Eemb = 823 kg CO2e Example Data Note: full life cycle GHG emissions can also be estimated as: Euse + Eemb = 4116 kg CO2e Slide 13

  14. Telecom Network Services Guide GHG Emissions Elements – Service Platform Use Phase: Modeling approach Network Types • Top-down • Coarse-grain • Fine-grain • Bottom-up Model Types Point-to-Point Tree / Star Mesh Slide 14
