7.8 gigaton greenhouse gas reduction with green IT Home

The positive development of the century violent in the field of information and communications technologies. In case the Transistor has affected digital revolutions and everything while microprocessors, magnetic and optical memory, fiber optics, internet, wireless networks and mobile communications. In particular, the product-oriented approach is difficult to grow the impact area of slipping information and communications technologies. Consumption tools such as computers and mobile phones are styles of the heavy balls of the sector, but the services that meet the needs of information processing and communications are expected more than the last user. Here’s the market legislators in the bar. A wide range of information products and services ranging from industry to energy, from transportation to buildings, provide serious productivity, mainly cost and time. In this sense, it can be said that the information is a nature that combines all industries. [[T][4][[T]]
[ In the event that a global open based on our door while maintaining the progress in a dazzling speed: climate change. What can the information, which is the bright torch of the Industrial Revolution, in the face of this danger inherited from the dede? To find the answer to this problem, the Climate Group and GeSI (Global e-Sustainability Iniative) text in 2008, McKinsey & Company experts also signed a study with their elimination. The results of this study also published by SMART 2020: Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age (the elimination of low carbon economy in information age). According to the SMART 2020 report, information and communications technologies (BIT) will have the potential to reduce 7.8 Gigaton (Gt) CO2 equivalent (CO2e) greenhouse gas reserves as of 2020. This amount means a 15% reduction in global greenhouse gas release. [ So, where is the potential for this reduction that information and communications technologies have? The facilities of information to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are basically sitting on two continents. These are; virtualization and efficiency increase. Virtualization to the fact-life service and processes from the line to be done (online) as the name goes. Virtualization provides an important gain both ecological and economically. Information offers a wide range of amenities from remote shopping to e-mail. Remote shopping takes place as a tool that facilitates our lives. Many official transactions also provide an important loss to the loss of paper. Teleconference systems are widely used by many institutions and organizations when they are considered economic pros. It is among the forecastive that home-to-work applications are also common without having to go to office recently. All this directive on vehicles and planes, while poor our greenhouse gas release. According to the report, virtualization solutions as of 2020 will reduce 500 Megaton CO2e greenhouse gas; this amount corresponds to the total greenhouse gas release of England in 2007. The main effect for the reduction of greenhouse gas is expressed in the increase of efficiency in other industries. You can’t manage that the ‘thrown’ principle of greenhouse gas reduction is to the accessible of information. The information and communication capacity lets provide ‘review’ in real-time, sorting solutions for system and processes that increase productivity. If you need to talk about detailed examples in SMART 2020 report, the energy industry is coming. Monitoring and management of electrical transmission and distribution networks with 'smart' systems, productivity and critically 'smart grid' applications are predicted to reduce 2.03 Gt CO2e greenhouse gas partnership. With the smart engine applications that work more accessible in the industry, 0.97 Gt CO2e will be able to provide 1.52 Gt CO2e, energy saving in fuel and energy saving from IT solutions to be applied in transportation and storage, managed by smart systems and click on buildings with automation, 1.68 Gt CO2e will be able to reduce greenhouse gas. [ The other issue also needs the reduction of the carbon footprint of the IT industry. As a substitute developing industry, information and communications technologies will continue to grow quickly throughout the years. In the meantime, the greenhouse gas release of the sector also increased about three times as of 2020 1.4 Gt will have CO2e level. It is estimated that the impact of the Chinese and India IT market is developing in growth will be big. However, as the information industry is mentioned at the wind of the article, it should note that the carbon footprint is a potential for a close reduction of five times. Finally, it is worth mentioning the situation in our country. Information and communication technologies market is a major place in our country. Of course, the share of having a young population is big. Although green IT application examples are not common, many institutions have to promote the sector in this direction, starting to work on this topic. Climate Platform, established in cooperation with Regional Environmental Center and TÜSİAD, is in case of the Turkish business world’s leading role in climate change, including Green IT applications among working heads. On the other hand, the Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK) brought together public policy recommendations by prepared reports Green Information. Turkey Informatics Association (TBD) also continues its work on green IT under the roof of Public BIB working group. No matter how wide the potential in the hosting industry is, it’s also a problem to convert it into real benefit. In vaccinating this problem, large cock are reduced to public conditions and the entrepreneurial spiritual of the business world. From the implementation of the standards, information between the structure should not be presented that the steps are necessary in many matters, sizes from the creation of financial tools to the creation of R&D studies and pilot applications.
