Growing Calls Need for a New Growth Engine
To Reduce Carbon Emissions
Worsening energy situation
(97% imported) World-wide growth of Green IT market
Intense efforts to reduce carbon
emissions needed Developed countries adopting ‘Green
- Korea ranked the world's top 10 carbon- IT’ as a major state agenda
emitting country.
IT Speeds Transition to Low-Carbon Society Promote Green IT as a New Growth Engine
Green IT Promotion Needed for Low-Carbon Green Growth

6. 3. The Role of IT in Green Growth
Green IT promotes the transition toward low-carbon society
With the use of IT, a 15% reduction (7.8 billion tons) in the world’s carbon emissions is
possible by 2020 (GeSI, 2008)

7. Green IT, A New Growth Engine Leading Green Growth
Fast growth of world-wide Green IT Developed countries increasing Green IT investment
annual growth rate of 60 percent
-U.S. : Annual investment of 10 billion dollars made into the
(Forrester, 2009) 4.8 billion dollars e-medical sector
- Japan : Investment of 3 billion yen devoted to development of
Green IT technology (as of 2008)
- Denmark : Green IT as an export promotion strategy
Strict environmental requirements of IT products
- U.S. : Energy Star 5.0
0.5 billion dollars
- Japan : Top-Runner Programme
- EU : EuP, RoHS, WEEE, etc.
2008 2013
Optimal Conditions for IT-based Green Growth
Largest share of world display technology market (38.4%) Highest rate of Internet penetration among OECD countries
IT industry make up 34% of the total exports 5th in the U.N. Global E-Government Readiness Index
8. Development of Green IT Sector Emerges as a New Challenge
- 2% of the total CO2 emissions worldwide generated from power consumption of ICT, and this volume is
expected to increase to 10 to 15% by 2025 (Gartner, 2007),
※Korea recorded 2.8% of the total volume of emissions, higher than the global average level (as of 2008).
Power consumption by IT devices increasing at an accelerated pace
Increased distribution of IT devices such as servers and storage
- Average annual increase rate : servers - 13%, data storage capacity - 56%
Increase in standby power increased as info-tech consumer electronics and
home-network becomes more widely used
- 11% of the total power consumption in households is due to standby power
IDC, A HUGE Electricity Hog
Total volume of CO2 emissions by Internet data centers (IDC) worldwide
expected to reach 250 million tons by 2020
(about 45% of the total domestic volume of emissions)
The volume of domestic electricity consumption by IDC increased by more
than 20%
- One data center consumes 20,000kw, the same as the volume of the
apartment building with 10 thousand households
