Can ICT Beat CO2?
Daniel GagnéITU – Symposium on ICTs, the Environment and Climate Change
May 29th 2012
The Equation• CO2 reduction enabled via
– Virtualization / Dematerialization– Transport substitution– Increased efficiency through Smarter systems
etc…
• Connecting Communities / Businesses
• Own energy consumption / CO2 emissions• E-Waste management• Supply Chain issues
• More Sustainable / Low Carbon Economy

▲ Enabling Effects1
▼ Rebound Effects2
We must create the conditions for a smarter use of ICT solutions, while relentlessly striving to limit undesired
rebound effects

ICT in Action @ Bell• 22.6% of bills sent electronically in 2011• About 4,100 tonnes of GHG and 33,000
trees saved• All other bills on FSC certified paper
• 22,000 employees equipped to work remotely
• Together saving approx. 110 M Km/yr in commuting
• Avoiding up to 20,000 tonnes of GHG emissions
• Telematics now installed on 8,000 vehicles• Saved 2.8 M Litres of fuel in 1st year of
service• Reduced our GHG emissions by 7,777
tonnes
• Decommissioned 664 of our own servers in 2011
• Saving 2.8 M kWh/yr or enough to heat 280 homes
• Reducing our GHG emissions by 159 tonnes
