About ETNO
The ETNO (European Telecommunication Network Operator) represents the principal policy group for Europe’s leading networks and services providersThe association (established in 1992) currently accounts:• 40 member companies in 35 countries• a total turnover of more than €600 billion a year• 1.600.000 employees• 70% of total sector investment

ETNO member companies towards sustainabilityETNO member products&solutions (e.g. smart services, videoconferencing, teleworking) enable energy savings for citizens and businessesIn 2012 ETNO has launched its Corporate Responsibility Charter: • a voluntary commitment in TLC sector, open to all players on the market• natural evolution of the former Environmental Charter launched in 1996 and
Sustainability Charter launched in 2004ETNO Sustainability Report (click here for 2012 version)
Note: In 2010 Charter signatories used ~14TWh of electrical energy in their home Country

The ETNO CORE Energy Task Force (1/2)Created since 2004 by the signatories of the ETNO Sustainability CharterCurrently under the ETNO COrporate REsponsibilty WGFocused on the following goals:1. decrease further the energy consumption of the ICT
branch2. motivate society to make use of the existing potential
of Green ICT3. develop new solutions to increase the energy
saving impact of ICT
4
The ETNO CORE Energy Task Force (2/2)The Group mainly develops benchmark activities and shares knowledge/best practices among its participantsThe Group has recently officially published its 2012 Energy Report, containing the most important outcomeshttp://www.etno.be/datas/publications/brochures/ETNO_EnergyTaskForce_Report_2012.pdf
Such Report is divided into two main parts1. a first part dealing with the main activities and
initiatives jointly performed by the Group participants2. A second part highlighting the main energy saving
projects carried on by single Companies

Towards Energy Efficiency
Examples of joint activities
6
Benchmark on power consumption of STB and HGGoal: to provide a snapshot of current state of the art in energy efficiency of 38 Set Top Box (STB) and 21 Home Gateways (HG)
Basically results show an improvement trend for both equipment types in all the specific power modes supportedHowever a quite big discrepancy appears between “best in class” and the worst case.
7
Best in Class for both configurations are the most recent devices
Benchmarking on Energy monitoringGoal: to have an overview of the implementation level of energy monitoring among different ETNO membersBenchmark of remote monitoring and control (both passive and active) of Central Offices, Data Centres, Radio Base Stations and offices
The level of implementation of the above mentioned 8 item is quite different depending on the various OperatorsThe two items more widely implemented are respectively the passive remote monitoring of Central Offices and Data Centre.
8Level 1: monitoring plannedLevel 2: monitoring under trialLevel 3: monitoring widely adopted
Note: Magyar Telecom belongs to Deutsche Telekom Group
Benchmarking on Fuel CellsGoal: to investigate the use of Fuel Cells among ETF members
Most used: H2 cylinders, power ranges 1 ÷ 5kWThe technology has still a limited diffusion (due to high costs)
9 Note: Magyar Telecom belongs to Deutsche Telekom Group
Benchmark on Fresh Air Cooling solutionsGoal: to provide a snapshot of current efficiency of different Fresh Air Cooling solutions adopted by ETF members
The test results show a wide range of efficiency values (but different room T and different geographical areas…)
10 Note: PASM is part of Deutsche Telekom Group
The total cost include yearly plant depreciation charge
Energy consumption per 1kW cooling load
Referenz: air conditioning with 100% compressor cooling and 0% free cooling (source: PASM)
Benchmark on GHG ReportingGoal: to better understand what sort of emissions are reported by ETF members
All companies report systematically on Scope 1In Scope 3 only 50% (most often reported category: business travel)

Towards Energy Efficiency
Examples of projects from single Companies
12
Examples of projects from single Companies (1/3)
Hybrid Cooling with Natural Wind PowerReduction of operating hours of air conditioning to 23%Savings electric power: ¾ of power consumption/year
Kyoto Data CenterPower consumption for cooling reduced by 60% with yearly saving of 5GWh or 3.800 Ton CO2
Videoservicesreducing travellingReplacing travel with video conf in 2012 has had the greatest impact, leading to emission savings of 17,395 tonnes
KPN Portal: Energy saving by ICTKPN realized a portal where customers and other individuals or organizations can find out their own saving opportunities
13
Fresh Air Cooling solution for Data Centersreconstruct the existing air condition systems of the engine rooms, and adapt the fresh air cooling system on it (savings for ~7GWh/year)
Environmental labeling of mobile and fixed devicesThe label covers 3 indicators: Carbon footprint (CO2limitation); Amount of CO2produced during product life cycle; Resources preservation
GREEN P&T/EDITUS building in KaylConstruction of a new building with renewable sources and fresh air cooling (62% energy saving compared to a traditional new building)
Smart subgrid projectStudy aiming to reduce power peaks in the grid, store and use of renewable energy and stabilize the public grid. Lead batteries are used. Networked with a central control station via a controller
Examples of projects from single Companies (2/3)
14 Note: Magyar Telecom and Power & Air Solutions belong to Deutsche Telekom Group
Fresh Air Cooling year-round @ DatacenterA pilot has been carried successfully over a period of 1 year. Steps towards a first implementation are ongoing (expected savings: 20GWh/a)
LED for Telephone BoothsReplacing fluorescent lamps with high efficiency LED in 22.000 booths; the lamps can be powered from the usual remote power supply of the phones; it also uses a sensor of presence. Energy savings for 7GWh/year
In-row with cold isle cooling designSeparated cold-hot isle containment design with integrated inrow cooling of equipment racks. This offers possibility to separately control T within equipment racks and surrounding spaceSavings of ~ 1,4GWh/year
Energy saving in COUpgrade and extend the surface of an existing switch site with use of free coolingSavings of ~ 600MWh/yearCO2 emissions reduction ~ 274 tons CO2 / year
Examples of projects from single Companies (3/3)

ETNO ETF new structure
The ETNO ETF has recently reorganized its structureFour groups have been created, with the goal to cover in a balanced way different topicsEach group will propose and develop the most interesting Action Points in its related area
