4 Carbon Dioxide Emissions 1 Introduction 1.1 Problem Statement The global climate is changing, largely due to the observed increases in human produced greenhouse gases. It is estimated that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) contributes around per cent (Gartner, 2009) of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These percentages are likely to grow as ICT becomes more widely available. At the same time, ICT can significantly help reduce climate change by: a) Promoting the development of more energy efficient devices, applications and networks; b) Encouraging environmentally friendly design, and c) Reducing the carbon footprint of ICT The ANU Environmental Management Plan (ANUgreen, 2009) articulates sustainability targets and implementation strategies to guide ANU environmental management to 2015 and beyond. The EMP s target is to reduce carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by 20% by One of the key ways to do this is to reduce electricity consumption, as it is a major contributor to GHG emissions. The Green ICT initiative will give the ANU a platform to understand the growing energy demand of ICT, ICT s contribution to the carbon footprint of the ANU, and to research and implement ways to reduce its negative environmental impact across the ANU campus. The ANU consumed 82,242,411 kwh of electricity and emitted 74,018.2 t CO2e in 2009 (Australian National University, 2010). Within organizations, ICT consumes around 15% of the electricity used (Gartner, 2009). Based on this research, the annual electricity consumption of ICT for the ANU for is estimated to be 12,336,361 kwh, thus contributing approximately 11,102.7 t CO2e emissions to the carbon footprint of the ANU Year Overall Carbon Emissions (ktco2e) Estimated Carbon Emissions of ICT (ktco2e) Figure 1: Electricity Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions at the ANU A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 4
5 This project will aim to identify as accurately as possible, within the given constraints, the ICT carbon footprint of the ANU and then implement ways to reduce the carbon footprint of ICT at the ANU. 1.2 Project Objectives The main objectives of this project are to: a) Investigate and record the data on the carbon dioxide footprint (CO2e) of ICT within the ANU. b) Identify ways to reduce the carbon footprint of ICT within the ANU. c) Work with stakeholders to identify industry trends in the adoption of green IT practices and evaluate energy efficient technology that can reduce the environmental impact of ICT. d) Identify government incentives available to companies adopting sustainable IT practices. e) Increase awareness amongst stakeholders about Green ICT. f) Reduce the carbon emissions of ICT across the campus by 10% by June A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 5

7 2.3 SIPOC The SIPOC diagram is used to identify all relevant elements of the Green ICT project before beginning the work on the project. The SIPOC diagram includes a high-level map of the process that "maps out" its basic steps. Below is the SIPOC diagram for the Green ICT project. 2.4 Constraints S I P O C Suppliers Inputs Process Outputs Customer Facility Start: Switch on operations Equipment in Tonnes of associated with ICT Carbon Dioxide ICT infrastructure Emitted University Consumption of ANUgreen Energy ICT Stop: Switch off Facility infrastructure Energy Cost equipment in ICT Services, (AUD) infrastructure of Research through Green ICT Initiative Consumption Cost Ways to reduce energy of ICT 1. Decentralized Management of ICT infrastructure Share Information about Green ICT initiatives Energy Consumed (kwh) Number Stakeholders who buy-in Figure 4: SIPOC Diagram of & Head Colleges, Division of Information 1, IT Managers Facility & Services, Head of Colleges, Division of Information, IT Managers, ANUgreen The ANU operates a decentralized ICT infrastructure management system. Each College and area manage their own ICT systems, and hence achieving an overall reduction of 10% CO2e footprint would be a constraint in the implementation phase of this project. Those areas at the University that make recommended changes in their ICT to reduce energy consumption would see considerable reduction in their energy consumption and CO2e footprint. 2. Fluctuation in the ICT Energy consumption with various application use The energy consumption of the various devices fluctuates due to a various factors. Energy consumption values measured during this project and those from the data sheets, measured values using an Elemetric E9 meter, and software monitoring techniques. With all these techniques used to measure the energy consumption, an accuracy of 85-99% would be maintained. 3. Changing Nature of ICT Infrastructure 1 Division of Information (DOI) includes the Data Centre Managers, Director ITI, SDS, and other DOI staff who are involved in the project at various phases. A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 7
8 The ANU refreshes its ICT infrastructure every 3-5 years. The audit conducted during this project (2010) would be outdated very soon due to the fact that various areas refresh their ICT infrastructure at different times. This project would look at ways in which a more sustainable way of keeping track of the ICT could be implemented at the ANU. 4. Increasing use of laptops and portable devices With an increase in the use of portable ICT devices, the use of desktop computers across the University is reducing especially in the student laboratories. This would be a constraint, as laptops have not been considered in the scope of the baseline measurement of ICT devices in this project. New strategies to track the use of laptops would be considered during the course of this project. 5. Time Frame for project and implementation of ICT solutions The project time frame outlined (July 2010-August 2011) to achieve a 10% reduction in ICT energy consumption would be a constraint as the number of changes occurring across the ANU during this time frame could clash with implementation of solutions that would reduce the CO2e of ICT. For example, a windows 7 rollout is planned in 2011 that could delay implementation of desktop power management software in certain areas. 2.5 Assumptions 1. While evaluating baseline energy consumption, we will assume that the devices are switched on during the University operating hours and in stand-by mode after hours of operation. 2. While measuring the power draw of the devices, Power consumption of the devices will be taken from the product data sheets, or assumed to the nearest model type where data sheets are not available. 3. In the scope of this project, ICT devices are limited to Desktop computers, Servers, Data Centre s, Network Equipment, High Performance Computing, Imaging Devices (Printers, Multi-function devices). The terms ICT devices and ICT infrastructure would be used interchangeably in this document to represent these six categories of ICT. Desktop Computers High Performance Computers Printers/Multi Function Devices Network Equipment Data Centres Servers Figure 5: Categories of ICT infrastructure 4. ICT devices that are at the ANU Acton Campus are included in this project. This does not include laptops and portable devices carried by students and staff. 5. The baseline year for ICT energy consumption would be A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 8
9 2.6 CTQ matrix The Critical To Quality (CTQ) Matrix will be a characteristic of the finished product. CTQ s are the most important, measureable characteristics of the finished product that are strongly linked to customer requirements. This strong link is indicated via the CTQ matrix below. Customers Needs Drivers Metric ANU Green Reduction in Carbon Footprint Achieve Environmental Management Plan Objectives for The University Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide Emitted Division of Information Head of Colleges Reduction In Energy Cost Rising Price Of Electricity Energy Cost (AUD) IT Managers Facility & Services Facilities and Services (Energy Managers) Information on ICT Load Better Understanding Of End Energy Use Energy Consumed (kwh) Figure 6: CTQ Matrix 2.7 Project life cycle The Green ICT project would be adopting the DMAIC approach to project management. DMAIC is a basic component of the six-sigma methodology- a way to improve work processes by eliminating defects. Using the DMAIC approach will improve efficiency and eliminate defects in the project implementation. The Information Services Project Planning and Support Office will provide critical project management support and guidance during the course of this project. Define Measure Analyse Improve Control Figure 7: DMAIC Framework A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 9
10 The DMAIC methodology includes five steps that include; Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. Here is some information regarding each step. Define: Define is the first step in the process. In this step, it is important to define specific goals in achieving outcomes that are consistent with the demands of EMP. Measure: In order to determine whether or not defects have been reduced, you need a base measurement. In this step, accurate measurements of the ICT devices and their energy consumption will be made and relevant data collected so that future comparisons can be measured to determine whether or not defects have been reduced. Analyze: Analysis is extremely important to determine relationships and the factors of causality. Improve: Making improvements or optimizing processes based on measurements and analysis can ensure that defects are lowered and processes are streamlined. Control: This is the last step in the DMAIC methodology. Control ensures that any variances stand out and are corrected before they can influence a process negatively causing defects. Controls can be in the form of pilot runs to determine if the processes are capable and then once data is collected, a process can transition into standard production. However, continued measurement and analysis must ensue to keep processes on track and free of defects below the Six Sigma limit.

11 3 Time Management Plan The time management plan outlines all the main milestones with the Gantt chart outlining the dates by which they are due. 3.1 Main milestones Outlined below are the main milestones of the project 10 February 2011 Develop Project management Plan: The project plan will outline the objectives, project management methodology, risk management plan, Gantt chart, communication plan for this project. 26 March 2011 Website with Information on the Initiative: The website for the Green ICT project will inform the ANU community and third parties of the progress of the green ICT project, the initiatives and strategies developed, and the long term goals of the project. This website will aim to build an interactive relationship with end users that encourage feedback and cooperation between areas. The website would be launched at Earth Hour on 26 th March at the ANU. 30 April 2011 Baseline Carbon Inventory of ICT at the ANU: This report will outline the findings of the research done through the Measurement phase of this project. The baseline carbon inventory of the ICT at the ANU will provide information on the carbon dioxide emissions at the ANU, the energy cost of ICT. March-April-May 2011 Pilot Projects Demonstrating Sustainable ICT Initiatives: Various locations at the ANU will be used as sites to test new energy efficient technologies that will assist in reducing the environmental impact of ICT at the ANU. June 2011 Sustainable ICT Initiative at the ANU: A policy document recommending strategies to be adopted by ICT managers at the ANU would be drafted that would assist in improving the energy efficiency of the ICT infrastructure into the future. July-August 2011 Report and Monitor Outcomes /Establish Working Group on Sustainable ICT Initiative: Outcomes would be documented and a working group would be established who would look into energy efficiency of ICT.

21 9 Procurement Management Plan When the need for procurement arises, it would be mentioned to the PMG and PSG for approval. If software purchases are required, support would be sought from the DOI contracts office for drafting the proposal and conducting the purchase. Any capital expenses required for physical changes to ict infrastructure or its facilities would be taken to the PSG for further approval. Final approval for any procurement would be sought from the PSG after a detailed business case is put forward. 10 Conclusion and Next Steps This project is strategically linked to the environmental management plan of the university. Thus, green ICT should be investigated on a continuos basis from the universities environmental sustainability point of view. With the conclusion of the project, the university could look into this project in the following ways: 1. Sustain the focus groups created through this project to look at green ict practices 2. Develop and implement a sustainable ICT policy for the ANU. This would be a strategic policy aligning more closely to University wide IT Policies and Strategies. 3. Use the pilot projects as case studies to initiate further change A N U g r e e n S t r a t e g i e s f o r S u s t a i n a b i l i t y 21
