subject: Green It Vendors Open Battle To Start A Low Carbon Economy - A Low Carbon Economy, Economic, And [print this page] HC Environmental Network: Era of low-carbon economy is irreversible. The face of rising energy calls, IBM, HP, VIA and other domestic and international mainstream IT Manufacturers have entered the low-carbon, energy saving, environmental protection, road, competing heavily into research and development of new energy-saving technology, a low-carbon economy, the battle has been among IT vendors in full swing.
ICT industry, highlighted the problem of carbon emissions
Concern is that people habitually Car , Heavy industry and other emitters of industrial civilization era, but with the rapid development of information technology, the fastest growing ICT industry has been gradually highlighted carbon emissions. Data show that by 2007, global carbon dioxide emissions from information technology equipment has been the world's carbon dioxide emissions account for about 2%, while the proportion doubled in 2020, Bian Jiang.
But more importantly, the inevitable process of development of information technology is the ICT industry in the operational mechanism of the whole community of the growing base, infiltrated all walks of life in the information technology, its carbon emissions will increase or decrease in both exponential scale is magnified display. As the global climate organizations ICT Project Director MollyWebb put it: "Through ICT sector can achieve 7.8 billion tons of emission reductions. The U.S. and China more than the current emission reductions, while carbon capture and storage technology over 2050 potential emission reductions. "
As the only control of both the current global X86 architecture CPU, chip and mobile communication Map Form the core technology of high-tech processing chip company VIA is also the first green ICT enterprises started to pay attention. 90's of last century, VIA proposed the concept of green computing, and since 2001 has become a global leader in the field one. Convey to the consumer market through the green computing technology Environment , Productivity, and user experience benefits of the information, and promote all aspects of ICT development in the green.
New ideas to promote the carbon market maturity
Low carbon economy based on low power consumption, low pollution, low-emission-based economic model. With the previous comparison with the economic leap, the arrival of low-carbon economy, the development seems more of a necessity and urgency. With the strengthening of global environmental awareness, once again pushed to the low-carbon economy Tuyere The wave.
Movie "2012" disaster of shocking images, although the use of artistic rendering for the purpose of hyperbole, but no one can deny that if humans do not take effective measures, the days of film for us, it is not just a legend. In fact, the traditional "predecessors trees, descendants cool" ideas that have long been warned future generations the importance of sustainable development, and currently has the world's population of China, per capita Energy Share this on the lower case, urgently in need of rational economic development and consumption of energy consumption mode.
After the first time to binding targets in China the way that China's carbon emission targets: by 2020, the Chinese unit GDP Carbon dioxide emissions than in 2005 40% -45% decline. In addition, in Western developed countries, the prevalence of "carbon trading" market matures in 2012, they are expected to exceed the oil market as the world's largest market.
Addition to low-carbon economic development of ICT industry to provide technical support, VIA has also launched a series of public service activities. September 2007, VIA Technologies announced its purchase of carbon emissions produced by processors to be the first public Chinese companies to buy carbon emissions.
IT industry to explore new ideas reference
VIA Green Computing is the first carbon free computing cover, solar computing technology, lead-free packaging, ROHS computing technology, energy-saving computing and the concept of quiet computing. As the first carbon free computing involved research and development company, VIA had encountered technical difficulties. But as the world's first carbon free processor?? VIA C7-D birth, and carbon free computer introduction and has been adopted, VIA's "carbon free computing," started a whole IT industry kinds of new ideas of reference.
That solar energy, people will usually with lighting, heating and other industries linked, therefore, the industry and the general public on the VIA built in the South Pacific on the world's first solar community center full of curious information. VIA Solar computing technology, the basis of energy trying to overcome the challenges of inadequate facilities, especially in rural and remote areas, but also for the urban markets of developed countries to create clean energy solutions.
Fully committed to safe materials for its product line, VIA became the first completely lead-free manufacturing process of IC manufacturers. Energy-saving technologies while continuing to pursue, so that VIA products, "low power" features to enjoy in the global fold recognition. With the balance between energy consumption and performance, from 2008 to 2009, Nano Nano processor type not only in the portable mobile devices is Lenovo, Samsung and other enterprise wide, even Dell will also be applied to the server, and This large-scale data centers for server power consumption is the product one of the most demanding product applications, all a direct result of industry leader Intel, also have begun to reflect on their many years of development ideas.
