Summary:
|
This recommendation describes Methodologies for accounting Greenhouse Gas Emissions of using ICT in Industrial Parks. By describing the assessment boundaries and measurement methods for greenhouse gas emissions in industrial parks, and describing the contribution of ICT technology to GHG emissions, guidance is provided for the accounting of GHG emissions in industrial parks through data acquisition and disclosure of measurement results. Finally, this recommendation proposes a GHG emission process for typical industrial parks, providing practical guidance for GHG emissions in industrial parks.Recommendation ITU-T L.1410 provides the general principles on assessing the environmental impact of ICT. Recommendation ITU-T L.1420 provides the methodologies for assessing power consumption and GHG emissions of ICT in area or organization. This work item is building on those and provide the detailed assessment guidance for the use of ICT in Industrial Parks.
With commitments of reaching Net Zero from different countries at different points in time, in the field of ICT, ITU should support the development of GHG emission reduction strategies for Industrial Parks by providing methodologies for their accounting. Such methodologies would provide the means for accounting the progress of Industrial Parks´ GHG emission reduction due to ICT in different regions and for evaluating the effect of energy-savings and GHG emission reduction technologies.
