-------------------------------------------

[Almost daily there is more alarming new evidence of the significant =
growth
in CO2 emissions and increased warming raising the probability of global
climatic disruption. The latest in depth study from MIT paints a very =
grim
picture where they are project a =93median=94 temperature increase of =
5.1C. As
many of Obama=92s science team point out we are long overdue for some =
major
climatic disruptions that will make the current financial crisis seem =
like a
walk in the park.

=20

So it is indeed welcome news to see real leadership from Washington as
details of Obama=92s proposed cap and trade start to emerge. The program
anticipates $645 billion of permits being issued based at $13 mT CO2e
through the period from 2012-2019. Some of this revenue will be used to
reduce taxes for low-middle income families and support research into
alternate energy initiatives.  But the bulk of the revenue will in the
trading of permits and purchasing offsets. As yet no details of the =
workings
of the cap and trade system have emerged.

=20

But as has been pointed out many times, the biggest reduction in CO2
emissions can be made not through developing alternate clean energy =
sources,
but in reducing energy consumption (and concomitant CO2 emissions) in
variety of industry sectors through the use of ICT and =
cyber-infrastructure
by building smart buildings, smart communities, smart grids, zero carbon
computing etc. This has thoroughly documented in the SMART 2020 report =
=96
www.smart2020.org.=20

For that reason alone the bulk of the $625 billion for permits to reduce =
CO2
should theoretically end up in the pockets of ICT companies rather than
alternative energy suppliers. Yet surprisingly few companies in the ICT
sector are pursuing such a strategy.

=20

The biggest challenge in capitalizing on the use of ICT to reduce CO2
emissions is the lack of a rigourous documented process for the ICT =
industry
to validate and prove these claims on energy reduction and CO2 =
abatement.
There are many hand waving arguments of energy efficiency and so forth, =
but
most of these claims will not survive rigourous analysis because of lack =
of
understanding all the input and output factors that affect overall
contribution of CO2 abatement from ICT such as Jevons paradox etc.=20

=20

To that end CANARIE, in partnership with the Information Technology
Association of Canada (ITAC) is hosting workshop to help develop the
necessary carbon inventory and auditing process so that the Canadian ICT
industry and research community can understand the processes and =
procedures
to validate claims of reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions and
potentially earn offset dollars for themselves or their clients from cap =
and
trade systems like Obama=92s initiative.=20

=20

Tom Baumann, Chair of the IEEE Climate Change Technology Subcommittee =
and
Lead Author of ISO 14064-2 GHG Project Standard will be giving the =
opening
talk on how ICT Industry and research community can utilize GHG =
Programs,
Accounting Protocols and Rules for Generating GHG Revenues. Tom Bauman =
is
also president of the GHG Institute that provides eLearning courses to =
ICT
professionals and others on GHG standards and offset =
(www.ghginstitute.orh).
