Report Summary
Calling for a better future
Ecology represents an important opportunity for the telecoms industry. Telecoms have the potential to replace carbon generating
activities, optimize business processes to reduce emissions in other industries and enable the social changes that lead to a
low-carbon world. This report provides an in-depth analysis of the environmental impact of telecoms segment by segment & forecasts
up to 2015.
Keys Questions
' Does the carbon footprint challenge pose an opportunity or a threat for the telecoms industry'
' Is there a strategic rationale for telecoms operators to go green'
' What is the carbon footprint of the European telecommunications industry'
' Which parts of the value chain have the deepest footprint and have the greatest potential to be reduced'
' What impact ' at once systemic and in terms of replacement and optimisation ' does the telecom sector have on other sectors and on
society as a whole, and can these effects offset the industry's footprint'
' How can the telecoms industry act as a catalyst for the transition to a low carbon economy'
Measuring Telecom's carbon emissions
The scope of the data forecasts includes France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom over the 2008 - 2015 timeframe.
' Data is based on the number of mobile and fixed telecoms users in the region as provided by national telecommunications
regulators.
' Market assumptions are used to estimate the future installed base of end-users, hardware renewal rates, and infrastructure
investments.
' Carbon efficiency gains are based on the Kyoto Protocol targets and on specific trends witnessed throughout the
telecommunications industry or in its specific segments.
The report focuses on measuring and predicting:
' the levels of carbon emissions within the telecommunications industry, looking in detail at each link of the value chain
' the carbon savings in other industries that are enabled by the implementation of telecommunications services (carbon replacement
or optimization)
' the carbon savings throughout society that are indirect results of the systemic changes telecommunications bring to society
(dematerialization and virtualization).
