The megatrend of digitalisation is advancing at a breathtaking pace. The volume of data generated worldwide has increased tenfold between 2012 and 2020 and will triple once again by 2025 – to 181 zettabytes (source: Statista). This also means a considerable increase in global energy consumption and the resulting CO₂ emissions.
Whether personally or professionally, consciously or unconsciously – everywhere people are using smart solutions such as mobile internet, cloud storage and cloud computing. Prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, an increasing number are working from home, holding video conferences and storing their data in the cloud. Meanwhile, the Internet of Things (IoT) has found its way into all areas of life. From cars to garden lighting and heating: nowadays, virtually everything is networked and can be controlled via mobile phone. The use of streaming services has also become part of everyday life – and all of this requires electricity.
In 2020, the share of the ICT sector in global electricity consumption was at most 3.2 per cent, but this is expected to go up 20 per cent by 2030. The huge amounts of energy needed in this sector also generate huge quantities of climate-damaging emissions. The industry now offers various solutions focused on the issues of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reduction.
