Executive Summary
ICTs are a noticeable source of GH G emissions, and a major component of
innovative solutions for sustainable development.
Many abatements in costs and carbon footprint are made possible by undertaking
innovative solutions in ICTs, in both direct and indirect ways.
Leveraging technologies and people behaviors enables value creation.
Existing and planned regulations create more and more constraints, which can be shifted
into strength if addressed correctly (gain in competitiveness, product range widening ).
ICTs and sustainable development
Innhotep proposes analyses and solutions to help firms integrate innovation in their
strategy and organization and benefit from it in various fields, including ICTs.

What does Innhotep mean ?
• The word Innhotep was chosen in resonance with the name
Imhotep, « He who comes in peace » or « the one who is
welcome »
• Vizier of Pharaoh Djoser, Imhotep designed in Africa, at
Saqqara (Egypt), the first pyramid in history.
• Aside architecture, Imhotep was a scholar in medicine,
mathematics, astrology and religion, exemplifying the
breadth of knowledge needed to achieve successful
innovation
• He contributed to the existence of a single language and
scripture, foundations for the administration and
the religion of one of the most impressive civilizations of
mankind

The global problem of climate change also involves ICTs
Since 1970, the production of greenhouse
gases has risen by more than 70%, which
results in consequences such as
– Rise in planet temperature
– Changing weather patterns
– Rising sea-levels
– Desertification
– Shrinking ice cover
–
Those consequences have serious impact on
the lives of millions of people and political
stability in many parts of the world
Energy efficiency is the fastest and most cost
effective way to reduce GHG emissions
Climate change is a concern for all of humanity and requires efforts on the part of all sectors
of society, including the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector

The global impact of building related abatements
enabled by ICT
Two main drivers of buildings’ emissions
– Surface area
– Energy intensity
Biggest reduction potential in building
design, BMS and Voltage optimisation
Importance of Benchmarking
BMS can adapt the building to changes in
the way it is used
US and Canada have come up with very
innovative companies in the area of smart
building technology

The global impact of grid related abatements enabled by
ICT
The power sector accounted for 24% of global
emissions 2002
Smart meters allow consumers to know more about
their consumption habits and allows for automatic
metering
Advanced Grid Management systems (e.g.
refrigerators which reduce their performance during
peak times)
Sensors for remote metering
High importance for countries like India, where
Grid inefficiencies seriously hinder economic
development

The global impact of motor & industrial processes
related abatements enabled by ICT
Motor systems are devices which convert electricity
into mechanical power
They can be inefficient as they operate on full
capacity, independent of the actual load
ICTs role is to monitor energy use and provide
real-time energy data for optimization

The global impact of logistics related abatements
enabled by ICT
Transport sector is responsible for 14% of
global emissions
Software for design of transport systems
Optimisation of route planning would
comprise avoidance of congestion etc.
Other interesting opportunities include
– CO2e emissions tracking platforms
– Electronic freight exchanges (EFX) to allow
for the ‘auction’ of spare space on vehicles
– Reverse logistics platforms
– Protocols for system interoperability
– CO2e route optimization standards

The global impact of dematerialisation enabled by ICT
Telecommuting has the highest impact but faces
corporate doubts about adoption, and those are not
technical:
– Perceived disadvantage concerning ‘employee performance
management’
– The necessary cultural shift in collaboration for the employees
Impact of telecommuting depends on the efficiency of
the country looked at (decreases impact) and the relation
between workhours and free-time (the more work hours,
the more impact)
There is a need to establish blueprints for roll-out in the
companies where most impact is to be had, as well as
policy support
