Radio and Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) EmissionsAlexandre VASSILIEVITU, Radiocommunication Bureau (BR)Radiocommunication Study Group CounsellorBR Focal Point on Radiocommunications and Climate Change;Radio and Minimizing GHG Emissions;Radio-based Devices and CO2 Emissions;2-2.5 % ICT global CO2 emissions from ICTs – Is everything included?;TV and Set Top Box Energy Consumption;Optimistic estimation could be done using the following values: TV set power consumption: 0.21 kW; On power usage: 6.5 hours a day (based on UK statistics see the previous slide). Then power average: P=0.21×1?500?000?000×6.5/24=85?312?500 kW Using a coefficient 0.4 kG per 1 kW/hour from a draft Deliverable 1 and calculating for 365 days and 24 hours: 85?312?500×365×24×0.4=298935000000 Kg CO2 298.9 million tonnes carbon dioxide! Almost the same as data centres CO2 footprint1! What about footpring of set-top boxes, radios, DVDs, VCRs, powerful transmitters??? 1 Source: /assets/resources/publications/Smart2020Report.pdf;Minimizing GHG Emissions by Introducing New Radio Technologies;Minimizing GHG Emissions – Standardization Regulations (samples);Minimizing TV CO2 Emissions - Labeling;Reduction of GHG Emissions by Mobile Radiocommunications;ITU-R Activities in Minimizing Power Consumption;“Dematerialization” and Radio;ITU-R and “Dematerialization” and Remote Wireless Collaboration;Climate Neutral ITU – Radiocommunication Sector Role;Radio and Environment Information;*;Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite;ITU-R and Environment Monitoring;ITU-R Recent Decisions and Publication Related to Monitoring;Thank you for your attention!;Supplementary Slides/ Information on ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Activities/Standards;SG 1: Spectrum management SG 3: Radiowave propagation SG 4: Satellite services SG 5: Terrestrial services SG 6: Broadcasting service SG 7: Science services;Application of ITU-R Standards;BR International Frequency Information Circular (IFIC) – terrestrial and
