Technical Standardization

The technical standardization activity is growing and addresses the following:• Energy efficiency in the own ICT sector (~2%)

• Wireline and wireless

• E.g. EC Mandates M/462 ICT, M/478 Green House Gas emissions, M/479 Energy audit, …

• Usage of ICT in order to reduce the energy consumption in other sectors; i.e. transformative solutions (~98%)

• E.g. EC Mandates M/453 ITS, M/441 Smart Metering, M/468 Electric Vehicle Charging, M/490 Smart Grids, …

Electronic Working Tools• Established as a normal way of working on their own or in combination with physical meetings

• ETSI Special Report 002 959 published including a roadmap and recommendations for the deployment and usage of electronic working tools in the ETSI standardization process 

• Continuous evaluation of different electronic working tools, e.g. benefit from using video

Usage of Electronic Working Tools

Case study of electronic ETSI Board meetings• 28 ordinary Board members

• Located throughout Europe and North America

• Electronic (full) Board meetings during 2012• 14 May, 29 May, …

• By using electronic working tools 8667 kg CO2was saved per meeting compared to physical meetings!

Collaboration

The European Commission established in the beginning of 2011 a meeting series for coordination of standardization activities for Assessing the Environmental Impact of ICT• Participants

• European Commission• ETSI Technical Committee Environmental Engineering • ITU‐T Study Group 5• IEC Technical Committee 111• World Business Council for Sustainable Development

• Successful series of coordination meetings

Pilot EvaluationsGeneral

The aim of this initiative is to test the workability and compatibility of the methodologies for foot printing in the ICT‐sector. 

Initiated by the EC DG Information Society and Media (INFOSO), ‐> DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology (CONNECT)*.

ICT‐organizations from across the world have joined forces to measure their energy consumption and carbon emissions according to several methodologies for foot printing goods, services, networks and organizations.

The overarching goal is to come to consensus within the global ICT‐sector and converge towards a common methodological framework for the measurement of the energy consumption and carbon emissions arising from the production, transport and selling processes of ICT goods, networks and services. Establishing this framework is an important priority of the Digital Agenda for Europe.

Challenge

How to cope with the enormous growth of subscriptions and increased data volumes in the ICT sector?

• The target of the EC funded research project EARTH is to reduce the energy consumption of mobile systems by a factor of at least 50%compared with the current ones. 

• It will investigate the energy efficiency limit that is theoretically and practically achievable whilst providing high capacity and uncompromised QoS. 

• For potential impact on standardization EARTH focuses on mobile cellular systems of LTE and its evolution LTE‐A, but it will also consider 3G (UMTS/HSPA) technology for immediate impact. 

19

Further Challenges

Need for alignment of standardization activities world wide• Avoid conflicting standards

• Avoid duplication of work

• Example a)• Objective: Globally harmonized measurement methods for Environmental Engineering; 

• Good progress made in ETSI and ITU‐T for the radio base stations measurement methodologies

• Objective: Globally harmonized assessment methods• Good progress made in ETSI and ITU‐T for the Life‐Cycle Assessment methodologies

• Example b)• Objective: Globally aligned standardized architectures of the M/490 Smart Grid

Important to carry out the standardization work in a C3 way!• Collaboration• Coordination• Cooperation

20

Conclusion

Standardization is definitively a key driver for Energy Efficiency – now part of the regular standardization work• Both for the 

• Own ICT sector (~2%) and • Transformational (~98%)

ETSI will continue to have an important role in the standardization of Energy Efficiency

In 1987, the United Nations released the Bruntland Report;• "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the 

present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
