Across Europe, companies are looking at ways of reducing their energy consumption. The urgent need to tackle CO2 emissions is one push factor in this quest, while rising energy prices means it also makes economic sense to cut energy use.
ICT clearly has an enabling role to play in this – either as a tool to help companies track their energy consumption and identify areas where savings can be made, or as the basis for new ways of producing goods or delivering services with less energy. But at the same time, ICT and e-business are also sources of new services and products, requiring additional IT and communications equipment – all of which requires energy.
So what is the overall effect of the e-economy on energy consumption and energy intensity? Does it result in a net increase in energy intensity, or does it help us cut down? How do we measure this? What can we learn from these measurements? And how can new applications of ICT help bring about the reductions in our overall energy consumption that we need to put in place to meet 20/20/20 commitments? All questions to be addressed in the research.
A workshop held in Brussels on 7 February 2008 brought together the research coordinator, Professor Reinhard Madlener from RWTH Aachen University, with representatives of the ICT industry, the energy sector and the European Commission. They heard an update on the preliminary research findings, and provided feedback and recommendations of their own. The study brings together two types of research:
