Carried out in the form of this cooperation through a project working group, led by the carbon trust, aims to set the industry's first intelligent interconnection products using phase carbon footprint is calculated, the carbon reduction industry benchmark.
Global intelligent interconnection products in 2020, the total power consumption of up to 500 TWH (TWH)1The power consumption, power consumption of France every year2.Intelligent interconnection products including familiar can be connected to the consumer electronics products, such as smart phones, speakers, smart watches, tablet PC, laptop, etc.As consumer demand for electronic products continues to grow, energy conservation and emissions reduction has become a subject to be solved in electronics industry.
Intelligent interconnect products, according to research, in the use of phase of carbon emissions is the largest, but 85% of the product whole life cycle of carbon emissions3, including product using phase batteries or directly connected to external power supply carbon brought by the use of electricity.As the product more intelligent, equipment has remote display and upload power consumption, to more accurately estimate the energy consumption of the product laid a good foundation.
Carbon trust the cooperation with enterprises, is committed to a deeper understanding of intelligent interconnect products in the use of phase of carbon emissions, and to develop standardized measurement methodology.
Working plan for the measurement of the product efficiency as well as the more accurately defined industry benchmark, formulate power match the renewable energy generation rules, at the same time, through technical means, reduce energy consumption of electronic products use phase.These methods will greatly reduce the use of intelligent interconnect products, energy consumption and increase the demand for renewable power generation.In the future, the relevant enterprises can by reference to industry benchmark, tracking results of carbon reduction initiatives, and continuously improve, in order to achieve more effective carbon reduction.
The carbon trust consulting business director Hugh Jones said, "smart + connected products industry to pursue innovation, vision, ambitious, and is an integral part of carbon neutral path.Through cooperation with scientific and technological enterprise, we will use of intelligent interconnection products phase of carbon emissions for a more in-depth research, thus providing publicly for manufacturers and consumers, reliable, by the industry to create a methodology, better promote the industry to reduce emissions.
We are very glad to cooperate with enterprises, in the forefront of research and exploration.To open the forefront of this interdisciplinary and multiple points of view of cooperative exploration project, we are full of expectation.If you are a smart + connected products manufacturers, retailers, and hope to join us this journey, please feel free to contact us."
The project team was established in September 2022, is still in recruiting the core members of the enterprise.Issued by the project plan in 2023 intelligent interconnection products using phase carbon industry benchmark.Working group hopes for benchmark, can help carbon reduction in electronics industry and industry become carbon neutral.
