The biggest block to behaviour change …



As long as it is cheap, convenient
  and legal to waste carbon and
natural resources, then that is what
 the great majority of individuals,
households and companies will do
                  …
     at work, home and play.
Enabling technologies for transformative
change




(from David Hone, Group Climate Change : Adviser, Shell International. CPI CLP May 2008)
Cities are responsible for 75% of the world’s
  CO2 emissions and 75% of resource use
ICT/technology has huge role to play for
                companies and cities …

            “While the ICT sector plans to significantly
             step up the energy efficiency of its
             products and services, ICT’s largest
             influence will be by enabling energy
             efficiencies in other sectors, an
             opportunity that could deliver carbon
             savings five times larger than the total
             emissions from the entire ICT sector in
             2020.”

                    “The challenge of climate change
                       presents an opportunity for ICT to:
                    •  Standardise (S) how energy
                       consumption and emissions
                       information can be traced across
                       different processes beyond the ICT
                       sector’s own products and services
                    •  It can monitor (M) energy consumption
                       and emissions across the economy in
                       real time, providing the data needed to
                       optimise for energy efficiency
                    •  Network tools can be developed that
                       allow accountability (A) for energy
                       consumption and emissions alongside
                       other key business priorities
                    •  This information can be used to
                       rethink (R) how we should live, learn,
                       play and work in a low carbon
                       economy, initially by optimising
                       efficiency, but also by providing viable
                       low cost alternatives to high carbon
                       activities. Although isolated efficiency
                       gains do have an impact, ultimately it
                       will be a platform – or a set of
                       technologies and architectures –
                       working coherently together, that will
                       have the greatest impact
                    •  It is through this enabling platform that
                       transformation (T) of the economy will
                       occur, when standardisation,
                       monitoring, accounting, optimisation
                       and the business models that drive
                       low carbon alternatives can be
                       developed and diffused at scale across
                       all sectors of the economy. “

Summary findings: ‘SMART 2020’ – The Climate
                   Group
        MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
 •  Smart motor systems: A review of manufacturing in China has
    identified that without optimisation, 10% of China’s emissions (2% of
    global emissions) in 2020 will come from China’s motor systems alone
    and to improve industrial efficiency even by 10% would deliver up to 200
    million tonnes (Mt) CO2e savings. Applied globally, optimised motors
    and industrial automation would reduce 0.97 GtCO2e in 2020, worth
    euro 68 billion ($107.2 billion)
 •  Smart logistics: Through a host of efficiencies in transport and storage,
    smart logistics in Europe could deliver fuel, electricity and heating
    savings of 225 MtCO2e. The global emissions savings from smart
    logistics in 2020 would reach 1.52 GtCO2e, with energy savings
    worth euro 280 billion ($441.7 billion)
 •  Smart buildings: A closer look at buildings in North America indicates
    that better building design, management and automation could save
    15% of North America’s buildings emissions. Globally, smart buildings
    technologies would enable 1.68 GtCO2e of emissions savings,
    worth euro 216 billion ($340.8 billion)
 •  Smart grids: Reducing T&D losses in India’s power sector by 30% is
    possible through better monitoring and management of electricity grids,
    first with smart meters and then by integrating more advanced ICTs into
    the so-called energy internet. Smart grid technologies were the
    largest opportunity found in the study and could globally reduce
    2.03 GtCO2e , worth euro 79 billion ($124.6 billion)

The Future? Possible options for transport carbon
pricing and incentives for green travel using IT systems
•     Oyster – polling shows a very positive public response. Current
      discounts include FREE travel for kids in school and for Old Age
      Pensioners
•     Possibilities to add other carbon-cutting incentives to travel during
      less busy periods, and integrate with the congestion charge and road
      pricing, in order to optimise the use of the combined public transport
      and road networks throughout the day. For example:
1.    for people who travel off-peak (not during the rush hours) or if you
      decide to work from home one or more days a week. ITC allows this
      type of finely targeted discounting
2.    tie in with other types of commercial operation – such as purchases of
      zero-low carbon technologies and home products (e.g. micro-
      renewables like solar or hybrid or hydrogen fuel-cell car purchases)
      which may count as reward points for even lower fares.
3.    Offer vouchers for buying a bicycle or purchasing green household
      products
4.    For cyclists who have never owned a car may provide cash in their
      pockets

Summary: Transformational imperatives to change carbon-
  heavy behaviours
1.  Enabling policy, regulatory and tax framework of
   ‘carrots and       sticks’ for companies and citizens to
   reward zero-low carbon           use and penalise high
   carbon use
2.  Long-term strategy with best science targets and
   policy drivers     to transform markets to value zero/low
   carbon
3.  Cheaper, more convenient and integrated low carbon
        solutions (including procurement drivers)
4.  Exemplar zero-low carbon/waste developments and
        projects
5.  Comprehensive information, advice and audit
   programmes for households and companies
6.  Verifiable, coordinated and effective international action
7.  Partnerships between sectors – public, private,
   domestic,          voluntary
8.  Integrated changes across economic sectors –
   financial, energy,        transport, waste, buildings
9.  Leadership – political, professional, personal.
CHALLENGE = TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE
•  A broad range of existing and new
   (disruptive) technologies and green infra-
   structure must be fully and rapidly
   deployed within all sectors of society
•  A holistic policy framework needed to
   hasten the technology pathways –
   integrated regulations, taxation, planning.
   Incentives, as well as penalties, are vital
•  Single economy policies will not work –
   must be global cooperation and full
   implementation of UN Framework
   Convention on Climate Change

  • 18. ICT/technology has huge role to play for companies and cities … “While the ICT sector plans to significantly step up the energy efficiency of its products and services, ICT’s largest influence will be by enabling energy efficiencies in other sectors, an opportunity that could deliver carbon savings five times larger than the total emissions from the entire ICT sector in 2020.” ‘SMART 2020 – enabling the low carbon economy in the information age’ The Climate Group, London, 2008 http://www.theclimategroup.org/assets/resources/publications/Smart2020Report_lo_res.pdf
  • 19. I.C.T. - Learning to be S.M.A.R.T. “The challenge of climate change presents an opportunity for ICT to: •  Standardise (S) how energy consumption and emissions information can be traced across different processes beyond the ICT sector’s own products and services •  It can monitor (M) energy consumption and emissions across the economy in real time, providing the data needed to optimise for energy efficiency •  Network tools can be developed that allow accountability (A) for energy consumption and emissions alongside other key business priorities •  This information can be used to rethink (R) how we should live, learn, play and work in a low carbon economy, initially by optimising efficiency, but also by providing viable low cost alternatives to high carbon activities. Although isolated efficiency gains do have an impact, ultimately it will be a platform – or a set of technologies and architectures – working coherently together, that will have the greatest impact •  It is through this enabling platform that transformation (T) of the economy will occur, when standardisation, monitoring, accounting, optimisation and the business models that drive low carbon alternatives can be developed and diffused at scale across all sectors of the economy. “ 19
  • 20. Summary findings: ‘SMART 2020’ – The Climate Group MARKET OPPORTUNITIES •  Smart motor systems: A review of manufacturing in China has identified that without optimisation, 10% of China’s emissions (2% of global emissions) in 2020 will come from China’s motor systems alone and to improve industrial efficiency even by 10% would deliver up to 200 million tonnes (Mt) CO2e savings. Applied globally, optimised motors and industrial automation would reduce 0.97 GtCO2e in 2020, worth euro 68 billion ($107.2 billion) •  Smart logistics: Through a host of efficiencies in transport and storage, smart logistics in Europe could deliver fuel, electricity and heating savings of 225 MtCO2e. The global emissions savings from smart logistics in 2020 would reach 1.52 GtCO2e, with energy savings worth euro 280 billion ($441.7 billion) •  Smart buildings: A closer look at buildings in North America indicates that better building design, management and automation could save 15% of North America’s buildings emissions. Globally, smart buildings technologies would enable 1.68 GtCO2e of emissions savings, worth euro 216 billion ($340.8 billion) •  Smart grids: Reducing T&D losses in India’s power sector by 30% is possible through better monitoring and management of electricity grids, first with smart meters and then by integrating more advanced ICTs into the so-called energy internet. Smart grid technologies were the largest opportunity found in the study and could globally reduce 2.03 GtCO2e , worth euro 79 billion ($124.6 billion)

  • 37. The Future? Possible options for transport carbon pricing and incentives for green travel using IT systems •  Oyster – polling shows a very positive public response. Current discounts include FREE travel for kids in school and for Old Age Pensioners •  Possibilities to add other carbon-cutting incentives to travel during less busy periods, and integrate with the congestion charge and road pricing, in order to optimise the use of the combined public transport and road networks throughout the day. For example: 1.  for people who travel off-peak (not during the rush hours) or if you decide to work from home one or more days a week. ITC allows this type of finely targeted discounting 2.  tie in with other types of commercial operation – such as purchases of zero-low carbon technologies and home products (e.g. micro- renewables like solar or hybrid or hydrogen fuel-cell car purchases) which may count as reward points for even lower fares. 3.  Offer vouchers for buying a bicycle or purchasing green household products 4.  For cyclists who have never owned a car may provide cash in their pockets

Summary: Transformational imperatives to change carbon- heavy behaviours 1.  Enabling policy, regulatory and tax framework of ‘carrots and sticks’ for companies and citizens to reward zero-low carbon use and penalise high carbon use 2.  Long-term strategy with best science targets and policy drivers to transform markets to value zero/low carbon 3.  Cheaper, more convenient and integrated low carbon solutions (including procurement drivers) 4.  Exemplar zero-low carbon/waste developments and projects 5.  Comprehensive information, advice and audit programmes for households and companies 6.  Verifiable, coordinated and effective international action 7.  Partnerships between sectors – public, private, domestic, voluntary 8.  Integrated changes across economic sectors – financial, energy, transport, waste, buildings 9.  Leadership – political, professional, personal.
  • 42. CHALLENGE = TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE •  A broad range of existing and new (disruptive) technologies and green infra- structure must be fully and rapidly deployed within all sectors of society •  A holistic policy framework needed to hasten the technology pathways – integrated regulations, taxation, planning. Incentives, as well as penalties, are vital •  Single economy policies will not work – must be global cooperation and full implementation of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
