[If you have been following the development of the Waxman-Markey cap and
trade bill in the US Congress you will note that they are proposing that
organizations who are regulated to emit CO2 will be required to purchase
$1.25 in offsets for every $1.00 they acquire in emission permits. It is
expected that Canada will follow the US lead in the adoption of a North
American cap and trade market.
Most research universities in the US will have to register as primary
emitters under the proposed EPA regulations for all institutions that emit
over 25,000 mtCO2e. A typical research university can produce as much as
500,000 tons CO2 (both Scope 1 and Scope 2) of which cyber-infrastructure
and ICT can contribute 300,000 tons (mostly Scope 2). Many research
universities also have their own power and heating plants.
According to data from Cisco , business ICT in buildings is also a major
culprit, as buildings account for 50% of all CO2 emission of which 25% can
be attributed to ICT equipment (not counting cooling)
It is estimated that 15-20% of Waxman-Markey cap and trade will be spent on
these offsets which could represent billions of dollars in potential
revenue. Cyber-infrastructure and ICT is the one sector where we can quickly
move to a zero carbon strategy by moving to clouds, virtualization and
de-materialization (see my posting on Kindle DX) where the underlying
cyber-infrastructure is located at zero carbon data centers connected to
universities through high capacity, low latency R&E networks. The costs of
such a strategy including network capacity could be easily paid for by the
carbon offsets, and perhaps permit offsets as well - but what is needed is
well defined protocol and methodology to measure, quantify and audit the
offsets. One of the major problem with today's carbon offset market is the
lack of transparency and audibility. Today's offset markets are riddled
with fraud and bogus claims of CO2 reduction. What is needed is a rigorous
process to quantify and qualify the offset claims (this is particularly true
of many claims about energy efficiency). The ISO 14064 standards are the de
facto process for doing this, but we need specific protocols to be adopted
under these standards to address ICT and cyber-infrastructure. CANARIE's
upcoming Green IT pilot hopes to start this process to enable universities
and business to learn how to calculate carbon offsets and develop ISO 14064
protocols for virtualization, clouds, networks etc. It may even be possible
to use "virtual" offsets where ICT companies and networks offer products in
service in exchange of offsets instead of cash -BSA]

Software Downloads Help Microsoft and Customers Reduce Carbon Footprint
Today, Microsoft released the results of a comparative carbon footprint
study which found significant environmental benefits to providing its
software to consumers online. The study concluded that downloading Office
2007 avoided 8 times the amount of carbon emissions compared to producing
and shipping a DVD and its associated packaging through traditional retail
distribution channels.
The study determined that carbon emissions avoided through online purchasing
of 10 million copies is equivalent to:
* the electric consumption of 7,715 US households, or
* 13,008 passengers cars driven in one year, or
* 231 acres of avoided Amazon rainforest deforestation.
Microsoft worked with its partners, Accenture <http://www.accenture.com/>
and WSP Environment <http://www.wspenvironmental.com/usa> & Energy, to
apply leading standards for product carbon footprinting in accounting for
greenhouse gas emissions arising from the complete lifecycle of its software
products. Based on several distribution scenarios, the study captures
carbon emissions associated with the raw materials, production,
distribution, customer purchase, and end-of-life processes for 10 million
off-the shelf retail software products. Microsoft then compared these
results to the online delivery model for 10 million downloads, accounting
for the data centers used for hosting software downloads and even the energy
used by a consumer's personal computer to download the Office 2007 program.
Not surprisingly, transportation and packaging materials were identified as
the largest contributors to carbon emissions for the off-the-shelf product.
Avoided carbon emissions associated with downloading 1 copy of Office 2007
are roughly equal to 1 gallon of gas.
