Can European energy savings be reached in 2020: without smart meter ICT enabling processes?

摘要

The information and communications technology (ICT) sector at present accounts for 2% of global carbon emissions (in the UK, ICT is responsible for up to 20% of carbon emissions generated by government offices). This is as much as civil aviation. The real gains from green ICT will come from developing energy efficient solutions that impact the other 98% of global emissions.
