  1. Common challenges drive energy efficiency Stephan Scholz CTO and Head of Research and Technology Platforms Nokia Siemens Networks

  2. CO2 € Why does environment matter in ICT sector? Regulation Ethical purchasing behaviour Corporate responsibility Energy consumption Energy sources New business opportunities

  3. ICT will have net positive impact on the environment Maximize Expansion and innovations for use of communications technology and services in the society Combine Environmentally sustainable business solutions Minimize Life-cycle thinking

  4. Minimize ICT accounts for 2% of worldwide emissions The rest of the global economy PCs and Monitors (excluding embodied energy) LAN & office telecoms Printers Mobile telecoms 6% 7% ICT industry 9% 2% Fixed-line telecoms 15% 98% 39% 23% Servers (including cooling) Total carbon emissions ICT carbon emissions breakdown Source: Gartner – IT Vendors, Service Providers and Users Can Lighten IT’s Environmental Footprint, December 2007

  5. Minimize SupplierNetworkManagement Rawmaterials Mast sites65% Manufacturing Design for Environment ReuseRecoveryRecyclingDisposal Retail 1% Logistics Maintenancevehicles 1% Switch sites21% Ownoperations Use Common challenges drive energy efficiency ~ 86 % of a mobile operators energy is used by the Network (ABI research) Corporate sites12% Over 90% of Nokia Siemens Networks’ CO2 emissions come from our products during their use time

  6. Minimize Renewable energy – goals for mobile industry GSMA Green Power for Mobile • Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or sustainable biofuels, to power 118,000 new and existing off-grid base stations in developing countries by 2012. • => Would save up to 2.5 billion litres of diesel per annum and cut annual carbon emissions by up to 6.8 million tonnes. Nokia Siemens Networks commitment • Renewable energy will be our first choice for remote base stations by 2011

  7. Combine Double challenge - Cost of energy and sources for energy • Cost of energy out of overall network operational cost can be as high as 15 - 30 % in developing markets* (in developed markets around 10%) • Every year 75,000 new mobile base stations requiring their own power source as they are not connected to a main grid** • Unpredictable cost of fuel + logistical challenges of building and maintaining more remote sites => renewable energy sources can bring significant financial and environmental benefits *NSN operational efficiency benchmarking ** GSMA

  8. The opportunity: half a trillion euros Maximize Offset potential of ICT industry can be up to five times its own footprint* *A report by The Climate Group on behalf of the Global eSustainability Initiative (GeSI)

  9. Maximize New opportunities emerging – Smart grids • Electricity grids function partly based on decisions made 120 years ago • EU, US and various nations supporting Smart Grids Central power plant Offices Houses • Smart grids = intelligence in the grid + intelligence in the energy consumption • People will reduce energy use based on information on current consumption • ICT solutions make Smart Grid a reality Storage CHP Micro-turbines Fuel cells Wind turbines Virtual power plant

  10. Maximize Electrical ‘blind’ Infrastructure Changes in energy markets open up an growth opportunity for ICT today ‘Intelligent’ ICT Infrastructure Source: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

  11. Maximize ICT infrastructure will make electricity grids interactive for both power generation and power consumption tomorrow Smart Grid Smart Metering Source: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)
