In 2012, ICL took part in a new ICT industry report that provided analysis of how smart use of communication technology in many parts of society can contribute to a 16.5% reduction in global greenhouse gas by 2020. This is equivalent to more than seven times the ICT sector’s emissions in the same period.
The SMARTer 2020 report is the result of cooperation between Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and twelve dedicated international ICT companies, including ICL Group. The original SMART 2020 was produced in 2008, and provided analysis of how ICT could address problems in society, including the threat of climate change. In 2012, the projections for ICT’s impact are even greater than the original 2008 estimates.
The SMARTer 2020 report demonstrates the increasingly important role of ICT in working towards the prevention of global warming due to the emission of dangerous greenhouse gas. Video conferences, smart building management, cloud computing and smart electrical grids are all examples of solutions that contribute to reduced carbon emissions.
The SMARTer 2020 report identifies six sectors that can reduce emissions through ICT solutions: power, transportation, manufacturing, consumer, agriculture and buildings. Seven countries were studied in the report: Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, the United Kingdom and the United States.
