SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTINSTITUCIONAL SUPPORTERS:Conscious of the urgency <strong>in</strong> promot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creased energy production and consumptionefficiency, the ERSE considers studies such as the present as extremely useful, giventheir contribution to stimulat<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>in</strong> the sense of develop<strong>in</strong>g technicalsolutions aimed at encourag<strong>in</strong>g consumers to rationalise consumption and promot<strong>in</strong>gthe most adequate energy and regulation policies.SUPPORTERS:Alcatel-Lucent considers that the contribution given by telecommunications companies to reduc<strong>in</strong>g the environmental impact and bettermanag<strong>in</strong>g energy resources <strong>in</strong> our planet assumes <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g importance. Therefore, the company has decided to actively contribute asa partner <strong>in</strong> the Smart Portugal 2020 study. The company is committed to environmental susta<strong>in</strong>ability, particularly focus<strong>in</strong>g on climatechange, tak<strong>in</strong>g advantage of its <strong>in</strong>novation and development teams to create new environment-friendly and energy-efficient technologies,striv<strong>in</strong>g to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. As a technological leader, Alcatel-Lucent actively associates itself to itsstakeholders, which <strong>in</strong>clude its customers and suppliers, <strong>in</strong> order to address environmental susta<strong>in</strong>ability and climate change issuesthroughout its supply cha<strong>in</strong>. Alcatel-Lucent actively participates <strong>in</strong> the United Nations Global Compact - Car<strong>in</strong>g for Climate <strong>in</strong>itiative andhas received the Susta<strong>in</strong>ability Yearbook 2008 SAM Silver Class Award.Cisco was an active partner <strong>in</strong> the Smart2020 Study. We believe that Technology can help companies to be more efficient. Ourcommitment is shown <strong>in</strong> the solutions we develope, <strong>in</strong> our position <strong>in</strong> the Market and <strong>in</strong> the way we work <strong>in</strong>ternally.Environmental PolicyThe CTT Group adopts the pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of Susta<strong>in</strong>able Growth, the environmental aspect be<strong>in</strong>g part of its corporate strategy and practices.The Group assumes clear commitments <strong>in</strong> terms of cont<strong>in</strong>uous improvement <strong>in</strong> environmental performance, with a view to m<strong>in</strong>imis<strong>in</strong>gand prevent<strong>in</strong>g the environmental impacts result<strong>in</strong>g from Group bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> local communities, neighbour<strong>in</strong>g areas and the environment<strong>in</strong> general, [namely]:(...) By promot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creased energy efficiency with<strong>in</strong> the Group’s estate and automobile fleet, as well as controll<strong>in</strong>g and reduc<strong>in</strong>g thelevels of atmospheric emissions;EDP is one of the largest Renewable Energy operators <strong>in</strong> the World. Be<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>novative and early adopter of ITC solutions, EDPhas been an active partner <strong>in</strong> the launch of some of the reference Portuguese companies <strong>in</strong> this area. EDP strongly relies on ICT formanag<strong>in</strong>g its worldwide operations, and is presently implement<strong>in</strong>g, with Portuguese software houses a set of last generation systemswhich will help <strong>in</strong>sure its competitive advantage. Among them InovGrid, a reference project is the area of the smart grids, and Skipperan <strong>in</strong>novative system for manag<strong>in</strong>g power plants, on an Utility 2.0 approach. As part of its development philosophy, EDP uses OpenSource Software, whenever relevant.“Efacec is committed with the development of <strong>in</strong>novative solutions for the Energy and Mobility sectors, us<strong>in</strong>g the latest technologiesapplied to the efficient use, monitor<strong>in</strong>g, communication and management of related resources, contribut<strong>in</strong>g for the reduction of the CO2emissions from critical society activities, a key factor for the world susta<strong>in</strong>able development”.Ericsson believes that telecommunications will become an <strong>in</strong>tegrated and natural part of everyday life for the majority of the world’spopulation, while contribut<strong>in</strong>g to social and economic development. Technology is trigger<strong>in</strong>g change towards a more susta<strong>in</strong>able world.Telecommunication can remove obstacles <strong>in</strong> the path of susta<strong>in</strong>ability and create a smarter, more resource-efficient society. It can enhancethe delivery of education, health care, government services and raise quality of life. With climate change high on the global agenda,our contribution to a less carbon-<strong>in</strong>tensive society is a key focal po<strong>in</strong>t. Ericsson is demonstrat<strong>in</strong>g that wise use of energy is core to ourbus<strong>in</strong>ess. S<strong>in</strong>ce our greatest environmental impact occurs when our products are <strong>in</strong> operation, cont<strong>in</strong>uous improvements <strong>in</strong> productenergy efficiency play an essential role. Actions and <strong>in</strong>novation as well as leadership and vision are needed to tackle the environmentalchallenges of the future.Green IT issues have been assum<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g relevance for technological companies, as a way of meet<strong>in</strong>g Customer needs and achiev<strong>in</strong>gsusta<strong>in</strong>able growth objectives. HP has been <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g its <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> renewable energies while simultaneously bett<strong>in</strong>g on energyefficientsolutions and technologies for its Customers. In this way, we commit to reduc<strong>in</strong>g energy consumption and carbon emissions byapproximately 16%, by 2010. In this sense, it is imperative that we support energy-efficiency awareness studies.


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTIn a global world where everyth<strong>in</strong>g is becom<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>telligent and connected, address<strong>in</strong>g energy and environment challenges andopportunities requires <strong>in</strong>novative technology and deep bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong>sight. IBM has a unique ability to br<strong>in</strong>g technology <strong>in</strong>novations,bus<strong>in</strong>ess process transformation, and <strong>in</strong>dustry expertise together <strong>in</strong> a comprehensive set of solutions to help clients tackle theirenergy and environment issues and opportunities. Portuguese Companies need to take action on energy management, theenvironment, and susta<strong>in</strong>ability. Their customers, employees, regulators, <strong>in</strong>vestors, and other stakeholders look to them toaddress issues and opportunities <strong>in</strong> this area with actions that produce genu<strong>in</strong>e results that improve their environmental andf<strong>in</strong>ancial results. Companies of all sizes need to look across their operations, prioritize their focus areas and <strong>in</strong>vestments, andtake action now.Logica, as a lead<strong>in</strong>g European IT and bus<strong>in</strong>ess services company, aligns its bus<strong>in</strong>ess strategy along with the European and Globalsusta<strong>in</strong>ability <strong>in</strong>itiatives, thus contribut<strong>in</strong>g to the most <strong>in</strong>novative and comprehensive answers of the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry. Through its Energy& Utilities Competence and Innovation Centre based <strong>in</strong> Portugal with Portuguese solutions, Logica is committed to address efficientEnergy and Water management as part of the same global challenge <strong>in</strong> tackl<strong>in</strong>g scarcity and waste of resources. Through its IntelligentTransportation area Logica contributes to efficient transportation management and carbon emissions reduction targets. On the servicesside, Logica´s IT Outsourc<strong>in</strong>g organization focuses on energy efficient Data Centres and <strong>in</strong>frastructures management. The Smart 2020study is therefore a guidel<strong>in</strong>e for Logica´s activity and understand<strong>in</strong>g of the key market drivers.Oni Communications has always been particularly aware of environmental issues, namely carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t reduction, hav<strong>in</strong>g several<strong>in</strong>ternal and customer-oriented <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong> course, <strong>in</strong> order to achieve the objectives of SMART2020.Awareness to the need for environmental protection is already a reality across our various bus<strong>in</strong>ess sectors. Due to its specificcharacteristics, the communications sector is assum<strong>in</strong>g a lead<strong>in</strong>g role <strong>in</strong> this challenge, not only by possible rationalisation measureswith<strong>in</strong> the bus<strong>in</strong>ess, but mostly for its very significant impact on many other sectors, namely its contribution to digitisation of numerousactivities.“Our commitment towards a susta<strong>in</strong>able future: promot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>novation, respect<strong>in</strong>g the environment and valu<strong>in</strong>g society”.Through its master<strong>in</strong>g of telecommunications ant IT, Mank<strong>in</strong>d has extended its <strong>in</strong>tervention ability and its <strong>in</strong>telligence to the most remotelocations. It was possible to achieve a decentralised decision ability with<strong>in</strong> society, regard<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>ery, build<strong>in</strong>gs and large energysystems, as well as monitor the result<strong>in</strong>g effects. The work of Mank<strong>in</strong>d became more perfect, more efficient, less energy-consum<strong>in</strong>gand less carbon-produc<strong>in</strong>g. With<strong>in</strong> the scope of its social responsibility and mission, REN lends its unconditional support to <strong>in</strong>creasedsynergies between ITC and the various society sectors, particularly the energy sector, prais<strong>in</strong>g this APDC <strong>in</strong>itiative.“Sonaecom strongly believes the challenges for the telecommunications sector and the opportunities identified for the futuredevelopment of ICT sector will potentially lead to the almost global replacement of products and services for digital solutionsor to the use of new technologies as the eng<strong>in</strong>e of an energetically efficient society. We recognise the important role of ICT <strong>in</strong>enhanc<strong>in</strong>g social <strong>in</strong>clusiveness, empower<strong>in</strong>g people and creat<strong>in</strong>g a carbon free society.”T-Systems is the Deutsche Telekom Group bus<strong>in</strong>ess division <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g services aimed at corporate customers. Recently, thecompany presented its Green ICT portfolio <strong>in</strong> Lisbon, which evidences the way <strong>in</strong> which ITC may improve efficiency andsusta<strong>in</strong>ability practices with<strong>in</strong> companies. Hav<strong>in</strong>g led the SMART 2020 International study, T-Systems would necessarily lend itssupport to the SMART 2020 Portugal study. We believe that what constitutes a problem and a social responsibility issue todaywill represent an opportunity tomorrow, for all companies learn<strong>in</strong>g how to benefit from ITC.Real Life Technologies, <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the scope of Visabeira Global, may contribute <strong>in</strong> a differentiat<strong>in</strong>g manner to Portuguesedevelopment, through Information Technology and Communication solutions contribut<strong>in</strong>g to CO2 emissions reduction <strong>in</strong> varioussectors, such as transports, energy, <strong>in</strong>dustry and services, ensur<strong>in</strong>g susta<strong>in</strong>ability and economical growth with<strong>in</strong> a perspective ofsocial responsibility and concern for the environment.Vodafone Portugal considers that climate change constitutes a universal problem, which may only be solved through globalcontributions. In this sense, Vodafone Portugal commits to cont<strong>in</strong>ue promot<strong>in</strong>g and apply<strong>in</strong>g the most effective measures toreduce greenhouse gas emissions, namely carbon dioxide, both by act<strong>in</strong>g on the level of its own bus<strong>in</strong>ess and by develop<strong>in</strong>gmobile technology solutions aimed at effectively meet<strong>in</strong>g the challenges of environmental quality preservation.Carbon emissions reduction is a social responsibility shared by all. However, companies have an accrued responsibility <strong>in</strong> thesense of reduc<strong>in</strong>g these emissions. Therefore, ZON wishes to contribute to f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g a solution for this problem.The Smart Portugal 2020 study shows that ITCs are able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the implementation of goodpractices <strong>in</strong> companies. ITCs also allow creation of technological solutions aimed at reduc<strong>in</strong>g emission of gases result<strong>in</strong>g fromseveral human activity sectors.ZON is very enthusiastic about the market opportunities identified by this study regard<strong>in</strong>g creation of new products and markets.Therefore, the company will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to implement the good ITC practices identified by the study and develop enterta<strong>in</strong>mentand communication alternatives entail<strong>in</strong>g low gas emissions.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICT01 ForewordsAll over the world, citizens, <strong>in</strong>dustry andgovernments are deeply concerned with thecurrent f<strong>in</strong>ancial crisis. Restor<strong>in</strong>g the credibilityand the well function<strong>in</strong>g of f<strong>in</strong>ancial markets is<strong>in</strong>deed a top priority <strong>in</strong> order to avoid seriouseconomic and social damage. However, thisshould not distract us from another equallyimportant priority: to avoid the collapse ofplanet Earth due to climate change.It is technically feasible, f<strong>in</strong>anciallypossible and economically wise to reducegreenhouse gas emissions, thus avoid<strong>in</strong>g thecatastrophic consequences of climate change.Portuguese greenhouse gas emissions arecurrently well above the allowed values for2012 and the expected targets for 2020.This situation has heavy moral,political and economic consequences. Therefore,it is urgent to act.A few months ago, the Globale-Susta<strong>in</strong>ability Initiative (<strong>GeSI</strong>), under thecharismatic leadership of Luis Neves, togetherwith the Climate Group, published the “Smart2020” study; it shows how the application of<strong>in</strong>formation and communication technologies(ICT) can achieve a 15% reduction ofgreenhouse gas emissions worldwide.Inspired by the “Smart 2020” study,APDC, under the active chairmanship of DiogoVasconcelos, decided to <strong>in</strong>vestigate how ICTcan help Portugal reach<strong>in</strong>g its <strong>in</strong>ternationalcommitments and, simultaneously, boosteconomic development.The study “Smart Portugal 2020”shows that ICT currently accounts for only1.0 MtonCO 2e or 1,2% of total Portugueseemissions. ICT emissions are expected to<strong>in</strong>crease 0.7% per year <strong>in</strong> the period 2007-2020due to the <strong>in</strong>evitable <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the use of ICT.But the ma<strong>in</strong> message of the present study isthat ICT-enabled measures have a potential forCO 2e emission reductions of around 15% of theoverall emissions expected <strong>in</strong> 2020 - about tentimes the expected footpr<strong>in</strong>t of the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry<strong>in</strong> Portugal. Such a reduction is enough to meetPortuguese emissions targets for 2012 and evento reach the more ambitious targets currentlyunder discussion for 2020. The direct economicvalue associated with these reductions is about¤2.2 billion per year.The three priority areas identified<strong>in</strong> the “Smart Portugal 2020” study accountfor 55% of the total emission reductionpotential. These priority areas are: electricity,transportation and energy use <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs.The systematic application of ICT topower systems allows not only a more efficientuse of electricity (namely through improveddemand side management and reduction ofnetwork losses), but also an <strong>in</strong>creased and costeffectivepenetration of electricity generationbased on renewable energy sources. Thismeans that the carbon contents of each kWhcan be substantially reduced and the naturalrenewable resources available <strong>in</strong> Portugal canbe further exploited, thus <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g securityof energy supply and reduc<strong>in</strong>g imports of fossilfuels.S<strong>in</strong>ce 2001, Portugal has successfullyimplemented an aggressive policy aimed at<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g penetration of renewable energy.ICT allows this policy to be further developedand to evolve from a quantitative, generationapproach, to a qualitative, systems approach.As regards transportation and energy use<strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs, the study “Smart Portugal2020” shows how Portugal can learn from<strong>in</strong>ternational experiences and <strong>in</strong>troduce<strong>in</strong>novative, cost-effective solutions.I would like to thank APDC for hav<strong>in</strong>g launchedthis <strong>in</strong>itiative, BCG for their professionalcommitment and all participat<strong>in</strong>g ICT, energyand transportation undertak<strong>in</strong>gs and expertsfor their precious contributions. Thanks to theirenthusiasm and vision it was possible, <strong>in</strong> a shortperiod of time, to identify practical ways ofreduc<strong>in</strong>g greenhouse gas emissions and creat<strong>in</strong>gnew bus<strong>in</strong>ess opportunities <strong>in</strong> Portugal. It wasan honour and a gratify<strong>in</strong>g experience to leadthis project.Jorge VasconcelosCoord<strong>in</strong>ator of APDC’s Work<strong>in</strong>g Group“ICT and Energy”


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTDiogo VasconcelosChairman of APDCA unique oportunityThe recent f<strong>in</strong>ancial crisis caught the world offguard, underm<strong>in</strong>ed trust <strong>in</strong> the markets and isbe<strong>in</strong>g tackled by governments though giganticbailouts. Climate change has been studied andscientifically proven and its consequences arealso gigantic. The difference is that this time, nobailout, no matter how large, will be enough tomeet the largest systemic risk at the planetaryscale. Susta<strong>in</strong>ability is the only possible pathand there is no more time to waste. This <strong>report</strong>is a true call for action.More than a <strong>report</strong>, it represents aunique opportunity for all: public authorities,companies and citizens. From society, newbehaviours are needed– reth<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g the useof private cars, adopt<strong>in</strong>g new mobility andtelework solutions, be<strong>in</strong>g able to control energyconsumption among others. It is a change thatrequires participation, <strong>in</strong>volvement and jo<strong>in</strong>tcreation from all. From markets, new bus<strong>in</strong>essopportunities are expected– the crisis and thebirth of a new paradigm create an enormouspressure to <strong>in</strong>novate, with an attitude of“Creative destruction”. In areas such as electricgrids, transport and build<strong>in</strong>g management,the <strong>report</strong> identifies tangible opportunities.From Governments and regulators, appropriatepolicies are needed – ones that are ableto orchestrate disperse <strong>in</strong>telligence, both<strong>in</strong>side and outside the public sector, to fosterlow carbon solutions, technologies and<strong>in</strong>frastructures.It was <strong>in</strong> this context, and withthis sense of urgency, that the AssociaçãoPortuguesa para o Desenvolvimento das A A AComunicações (APDC) chose climate change asone of its priorities. There are three reasons forthis choice:In the first place, APDC has positioneditself as a mobiliz<strong>in</strong>g agent for the civil societyaround one of the sectors with a highercontribution to the Portuguese GDP, for themodernization of the national economy and forthe promotion of <strong>in</strong>novation – the Informationand Communication Technology (ICT) sector.No other sector <strong>in</strong> the economy has, <strong>in</strong> recenthistory, contributed as much to change theways <strong>in</strong> which we work, communicate and<strong>in</strong>teract. Mobiliz<strong>in</strong>g this sector for the fightaga<strong>in</strong>st climate change will have a tremendousimpact on the Portuguese society.In the second place, ICT is afundamental part of the solution. WithoutICT, it is not possible to achieve the ambitiousEuropean and national targets <strong>in</strong> terms ofGreen carbon emissions reduction. ICT cangive a decisive contribution to improve energyefficiency. This means creat<strong>in</strong>g a new wave ofopportunities, particularly relevant <strong>in</strong> timesof crisis, for all sectors and specifically for ICTplayers. The conclusions of the “Smart Portugal2020” are clear: realiz<strong>in</strong>g the opportunitypresented by ICT to reduce carbon emissionscan have a direct positive impact of ¤ 2 to 2.3Billion per year on the Portuguese economy.In the third place, th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g of asociety with lower carbon <strong>in</strong>tensity meansrely<strong>in</strong>g on new <strong>in</strong>frastructures for the future:broadband access through next generationnetworks. Mak<strong>in</strong>g optic fibre available forall should be a national priority, not only foreconomic susta<strong>in</strong>ability reasons, but also forenvironmental susta<strong>in</strong>ability.Let us turn the challenges of climatechange and f<strong>in</strong>ancial crisis <strong>in</strong>to a uniqueopportunity for the Portuguese society andthe Portuguese economy. If the <strong>in</strong>itiativespresented <strong>in</strong> the “Smart Portugal” <strong>report</strong> areimplemented, Portugal will become moresusta<strong>in</strong>able and technology companies willcome out of this difficult context as globalleaders <strong>in</strong> products and services to promoteenergy efficiency.


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTIt is Time for ActionThe Global e-Susta<strong>in</strong>ability Initiative(<strong>GeSI</strong>) was created <strong>in</strong> 2001 by a groupof Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) companies <strong>in</strong> responseto the United Nations Millennium Goals(MDG).As <strong>GeSI</strong> Chairman I had theprivilege to Chair the “Steer<strong>in</strong>g Committee”which led to the most recent <strong>GeSI</strong>publication “Smart2020 – “enabl<strong>in</strong>g the lowcarbon economy <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>formation age”.This <strong>report</strong> quantified, for the first time,the significant potential contribution thatICT can make at a global scale to improveenergy efficiency and address climatechange, while driv<strong>in</strong>g economic growth. Itis a good example of the potential of ICTto drive susta<strong>in</strong>able change while enabl<strong>in</strong>gother sectors to achieve greater efficiency.“SMART Portugal 2020 – reduc<strong>in</strong>gemissions and <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g efficiencythrough ICT”, the first national <strong>report</strong>of its k<strong>in</strong>d follow<strong>in</strong>g the SMART2020Global <strong>report</strong>, represents a first step <strong>in</strong>the contribution of the Portuguese ICTIndustry to address the Climate Changechallenge.Both <strong>report</strong>s are a call foraction; for the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry but evenmore for those who ultimately carry theresponsibility of design<strong>in</strong>g the global andnational climate change policy frameworks,which are needed to keep the planetsusta<strong>in</strong>able and safe, and to ensure thatthe future of young generations is notjeopardized.As a Portuguese citizen, I couldnot be prouder and more pleased withthe vision and determ<strong>in</strong>ation of DiogoVasconcelos, APDC Chairman, and JorgeVasconcelos, Chairman of the APDCCongress and leader of this study. It isimpressive how, <strong>in</strong> such a short period oftime, they brought together the necessaryteam and conditions to realize this project.More than a <strong>report</strong>, SMARTPortugal 2020 is the foundation for amore susta<strong>in</strong>able future for Portugal.This foundation must be cont<strong>in</strong>uallystrengthened. In times of economicuncerta<strong>in</strong>ty, SMART Portugal 2020 putsforward a comprehensive set of ICTsolutions which enable important impactsand efficiencies <strong>in</strong> relevant sectors of thePortuguese economy. Furthermore, it setsout the necessary pre-conditions to helpaddress the Climate Change challenge <strong>in</strong>Portugal.The ICT sector is ready to fulfillits role as enabler of economic and socialdevelopment. But the sector can not actalone. Appropriate policy environmentsthat foster ICT deployment, especiallyresearch and development, along withan appropriate f<strong>in</strong>ancial framework, arenecessary to implement ICT susta<strong>in</strong>abilityrelated solutions.It is now time for the policy makersto understand the role that ICT can playand to undertake the necessary steps thatwill enable it to play its role not only <strong>in</strong>realiz<strong>in</strong>g the United Nations MillenniumGoals, but also <strong>in</strong> lay<strong>in</strong>g the foundationsfor a more susta<strong>in</strong>able and harmoniousfuture. This is the challenge I want to leave.Luis Neves<strong>GeSI</strong> Chairman

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICT02 SummaryThe Kyoto protocol representedthe first quantitative commitment from the<strong>in</strong>ternational community to limit the potentialdamage caused by global warm<strong>in</strong>g. Signed <strong>in</strong>1997 by thirty-four countries, the agreementacknowledged that man-made emissions area root cause of global warm<strong>in</strong>g and def<strong>in</strong>ed atarget for 2012 of an average 8% reduction <strong>in</strong>Green-House Gases (GHG) emissions relative to1990.The <strong>in</strong>creased awareness aboutthe problems caused by <strong>in</strong>creased GHGemissions co<strong>in</strong>cided with a period <strong>in</strong> whichthe Information and CommunicationTechnologies (ICT) <strong>in</strong>dustry experiencedsubstantial growth. With the developmentand <strong>in</strong>creased pervasiveness of <strong>in</strong>novativeproducts and services such as the Internet ormobile telephony, the <strong>in</strong>dustry’s impact <strong>in</strong> oureconomies and everyday lives is bigger andmore visible today than it has ever been. Thislevel of impact and visibility has <strong>in</strong>creased theresponsibility of the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry to take action<strong>in</strong> the fight aga<strong>in</strong>st climate change.In 2008, the Global e-Susta<strong>in</strong>abilityInitiative (<strong>GeSI</strong>), an <strong>in</strong>dustry-led <strong>in</strong>itiative tofurther susta<strong>in</strong>able development <strong>in</strong> the ICTsector, launched the “SMART 2020 – Enabl<strong>in</strong>gthe Low Carbon Economy <strong>in</strong> the InformationAge” <strong>report</strong> with the objective of determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gthe global ICT carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t as well as howICT could enable a reduction <strong>in</strong> emissions,both <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustry itself and <strong>in</strong> other sectorsof the economy. The <strong>report</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ed howthe application of ICT could not only deliverenergy sav<strong>in</strong>gs and carbon reduction, but doso <strong>in</strong> a way that drives even greater economicgrowth and productivity. The <strong>report</strong> quantifiedthe global footpr<strong>in</strong>t of the ICT sector <strong>in</strong> 2020at around 2.7% of global emissions, but alsoidentified potential for ICT to enable about a15% decrease <strong>in</strong> CO 2emissions <strong>in</strong> other areasof the economy. This decrease is over five timesthe size of the <strong>in</strong>dustry’s own footpr<strong>in</strong>t, and isthe result of potential ICT-enabled <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong>five key areas: electric grids, build<strong>in</strong>gs, logistics,motors and dematerialisation.In order to assess the potential forchange <strong>in</strong> Portugal and to outl<strong>in</strong>e an actionplan, the Associação Para o Desenvolvimentodas Comunicações (APDC) launched theSMART Portugal 2020 project, with the supportof The Boston Consult<strong>in</strong>g Group. This project isthe first of several efforts worldwide to localisethe conclusions of the SMART2020 <strong>report</strong>and derive implications at a country level, anecessary step to foster discussion, galvanisesupport and establish actionable plans to realisethe potential identified.This <strong>report</strong> is the first output of thisproject. The work beh<strong>in</strong>d this <strong>report</strong> was carriedout <strong>in</strong> three phases:I. A first phase to establish the currentand forecasted Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usual (BAU)Portuguese carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t to 2020,highlight<strong>in</strong>g the ICT sector footpr<strong>in</strong>t;II. A second phase to detail the potential forICT to enable improvement <strong>in</strong> differentsectors of the economy, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the ICTsector itself;III. F<strong>in</strong>ally a third phase to identify<strong>in</strong>itiatives with the highest potential,<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g a high-level analysis ofimplementation requirements.


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTIn 2006 (the last year for whichdata is available) Portuguese GHG emissionsrepresented 82.7MtonCO 2e, well above theb<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g target set for 2012.Of this 82.7MtonCO 2e, 59.2MtonCO 2e(72%) were the direct result of energyconsumption (and associated transformationand transport/distribution processes), withthe rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g attributed mostly to <strong>in</strong>dustrialprocess emissions, waste and agriculture. Thisshows the extent to which the fight aga<strong>in</strong>stclimate change is l<strong>in</strong>ked to the fight for higherenergy efficiency.With emissions from energyconsumption allocated to end user sectors, theones with the highest emission rates <strong>in</strong> 2006were, Industry 1 with 23.7MtonCO 2e, Transportwith 20.1MtonCO 2e and Residential/services(exclud<strong>in</strong>g ICT) with 14.4MtonCO 2e.In 2006 ICT accounted for only1.0MtonCO 2e (1,2% of total emissions),although this value does not <strong>in</strong>clude embodiedcarbon emissions that took place dur<strong>in</strong>g themanufacture and transport of ICT equipment,which mostly takes place outside Portugal. Inthe estimates made <strong>in</strong> the SMART 2020 global<strong>report</strong> embodied emissions were <strong>in</strong>cluded,hence ICT weight <strong>in</strong> the overall emissions washigher (at 2.7 %).Of the high emitt<strong>in</strong>g end user sectors,only <strong>in</strong>dustry is covered by the EuropeanEmissions Trad<strong>in</strong>g Scheme (ETS) Directive 2and hence with direct visibility on the costsof CO 2(and even this coverage is only partial).The residential and services sectors are onlyaffected by CO 2allowance prices so far as theyare reflected <strong>in</strong> electricity prices, and Transportis currently not affected <strong>in</strong> any way.The estimates made for the SMARTPortugal 2020 <strong>report</strong> by The Boston Consult<strong>in</strong>gGroup forecast that <strong>in</strong> 2020, <strong>in</strong> a Bus<strong>in</strong>ess AsUsual (BAU) scenario, Portuguese emissionsshould rema<strong>in</strong> relatively stable, amount<strong>in</strong>gto 81.1MtonCO 2e. This estimate considers theevolution of each different sector and theexpected economic evolution over the next11 years and is, as far as time horizons allow,consistent with projections and estimatesperformed by other entities, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g thereference scenario of the PNAC (Plano NacionalPara as Alterações Climáticas), as publishedby the Portuguese state. In general terms,stabilisation of emissions will be related tolower emissions per unit of GDP, either throughtechnological evolutions or cleaner electricitygeneration, which will offset an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong>demand from the different sectors.A careful analysis of ICT-enabledmeasures, when applied to the Portugueseeconomy and with Portuguese expert op<strong>in</strong>ionstaken <strong>in</strong>to account, highlighted a potentialfor CO 2e emission reductions of around 15%of the overall emissions expected <strong>in</strong> 2020- about ten times the expected footpr<strong>in</strong>t1The Industry sector as considered <strong>in</strong> this document <strong>in</strong>cludesall activities related to Process and Manufactur<strong>in</strong>g Industry andConstruction2European directive that establishes the need for certa<strong>in</strong> sectors(the directive sectors, which <strong>in</strong>clude power generation, cement,metallurgy, glass, paper pulp and ceramics) to account for andobta<strong>in</strong> licenses for the CO 2emitted by their <strong>in</strong>stallations

This represents 11.9 to12.6MtonCO 2e 3 , of which 0.4MtonCO 2e wouldcome directly from the ICT sector. Such areduction would be enough to meet Portugueseemissions targets for 2012 and even reachthe more ambitious targets currently underdiscussion for 2020.The direct economic value associatedwith these reductions ranges from ¤2.2 billionto ¤2.3 billion per year. These values only take<strong>in</strong>to account the avoided CO 2emissions cost,which stands at approximately ¤0.4 billiongiven a target price of ¤35 for CO2 allowances 4 ,and the end user value of the energy saved(as either electric power or fossil fuel), whichamounts to the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g ¤1.8 billion at currentprices 5 . Capture of this environmental andeconomic value depends on the developmentof cost-effective technologies and solutions,and their application <strong>in</strong> the marketplace. Thetotal impact is likely to be higher, s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>in</strong>directeffects such as technology development, orpotential additional effects such as reduced<strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> energy production, transport anddistribution were not considered <strong>in</strong> this overallnumber. Also not considered was the valueof potential upside and additional economicgrowth associated with the creation of a newICT-supported susta<strong>in</strong>ability cluster.The identified potential for “ICTbased”reductions depends on two factors;the start<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t of each sector <strong>in</strong> terms ofenergy (and hence emissions) efficiency andthe role that ICT can play <strong>in</strong> enabl<strong>in</strong>g those3Depend<strong>in</strong>g on assumptions for the impact of power management<strong>in</strong>itiatives4Aligned with current EC forecasts and assumptions5Prices assumed as follows: Electricity – ¤0.06/kWh; Diesel –¤0.39/litre; Gasol<strong>in</strong>e – ¤0,48/litre (exclud<strong>in</strong>g fuel taxes)reductions. It is therefore not surpris<strong>in</strong>g thatthe two largest areas of opportunity identifiedare transportation and residential/services,specifically to more efficient use of energy <strong>in</strong>build<strong>in</strong>gs. These are sectors that are currentlynot covered by the ETS directive, and wherechange has been less press<strong>in</strong>g than <strong>in</strong>, forexample, <strong>in</strong>dustry.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICT03 ContextThirty-four countries were <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the legally b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g Kyoto Protocol, the agreementnegotiated with the support of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCC). This agreement sets an average reduction of 8% by 2012 on Green House Gases (GHG)emissions for the EU15 countries relative to 1990 levels. This overall target for the EU15 countrieswas later allocated between them through the Burden Shar<strong>in</strong>g Agreement, signed <strong>in</strong> June 1998and tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account their respective start<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>ts and expected economic evolutions.In the Portuguese case, the target set for 2012 is for total emissions of 75.1MtonCO 2e (a27% <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> GHG emissions relative to 1990). However, this limit has already been exceededand historical trends and <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong> place show that the Portuguese target is not likely to bemet by 2012. Moreover, discussions on a post-2012 target have started and the proposals are evenmore ambitious: Portugal will probably need to reduce its GHG emissions to about 71.3MtonCO 2eby 2020.The cost of <strong>in</strong>action is much higher than the cost of action. The Stern <strong>report</strong> strengthensthis argument by demonstrat<strong>in</strong>g that an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the average temperature of more than 2 o C isexpected if we carry on with Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usual, and 2 o C is generally accepted as the po<strong>in</strong>t beyondwhich significant and irreversible damage might occur. The unsusta<strong>in</strong>able level of GHG emissionsmay produce serious damage to our planet. Ris<strong>in</strong>g awareness of the negative impact of allow<strong>in</strong>gGHG emissions to <strong>in</strong>crease at current rates has been the tipp<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t for a drastic change <strong>in</strong> publicperception. Portuguese companies, ma<strong>in</strong>ly those under the scope of the Emissions Trad<strong>in</strong>g Scheme(ETS) directive, are start<strong>in</strong>g to realise that urgent measures are required to both reduce theircarbon emissions and also to have a positive impact <strong>in</strong> reshap<strong>in</strong>g the Portuguese carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t.The economic environment is chang<strong>in</strong>g, creat<strong>in</strong>g a materially different perspective forcompanies target<strong>in</strong>g susta<strong>in</strong>ability; an environmental conscience is be<strong>in</strong>g generated by climatealerts and <strong>in</strong> many cases, emissions will represent real operational costs <strong>in</strong> the near future. Inreality, two ma<strong>in</strong> levers determ<strong>in</strong>e the course of action for modern companies on susta<strong>in</strong>ability: thefirst is the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g need to reduce OpEx (which can be achieved by reduc<strong>in</strong>g consumption andhence spend on energy); the second is that environmental responsibility is becom<strong>in</strong>g not only aduty but also an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly important attribute of brands and their perception by consumers.This is also true for the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) <strong>in</strong>dustry.Although it is true much can be done to improve the <strong>in</strong>dustry’s own footpr<strong>in</strong>t, when one considersthe whole of the economy, ICT is far more likely to be part of the solution to address the globalclimate challenge.In 2008, the Climate Group published the “SMART 2020 – Enabl<strong>in</strong>g the Low CarbonEconomy <strong>in</strong> the Information Age” <strong>report</strong> on behalf of the Global eSusta<strong>in</strong>ability Initiative (<strong>GeSI</strong>),


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTan <strong>in</strong>dustry-led <strong>in</strong>itiative to further susta<strong>in</strong>able development <strong>in</strong> the ICT sector. This <strong>report</strong> wasa result of a 6 month project to analyse the worldwide ICT carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t and identify thepotential for emissions reduction <strong>in</strong> this sector as well as potential to enable reduction <strong>in</strong> othersectors. The study identified 5 ma<strong>in</strong> opportunities for reduction: SMART motors, SMART logistics,SMART build<strong>in</strong>gs, SMART grids and dematerialisation. The SMART concept created is <strong>in</strong>tended tobe common to all areas of the economy – Standardisation, Monitor<strong>in</strong>g, Accountability, Reth<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>gand Transformation.The SMART 2020 study highlighted the potential impact the ICT sector can have on thereduction of worldwide emissions, show<strong>in</strong>g that ICT-enabled reductions could amount to 5 timesthe sector’s own footpr<strong>in</strong>t by 2020.The SMART Portugal 2020 study, commissioned by APDC (Associação Para oDesenvolvimento das Comunicações) with the support of The Boston Consult<strong>in</strong>g Group, is thefirst of several efforts worldwide to localise the conclusions of the SMART2020 <strong>report</strong> and deriveimplications at the country level, a necessary step to foster discussion, galvanise support andestablish actionable plans to realise the potential identified. The study so far has been conducted<strong>in</strong> three consecutive phases:• The first phase identified the national carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t. Total Portuguese emissions weresplit by economy sector, and forecasts were projected to 2020 <strong>in</strong> a Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usualscenario;• The second phase identified ICT-enabled measures with high potential for emissionsreduction. Beyond the direct impact on the ICT sector, ICT technologies confirmedthe much more important effect that they can have <strong>in</strong> enabl<strong>in</strong>g reduction <strong>in</strong> the othersectors of the economy;• The third phase detailed key high impact measures, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g a high level plan foradoption of these levers to reduce Portuguese emissions.This <strong>report</strong> serves to communicate the study results and to expla<strong>in</strong> the methodologies andassumptions used. As such it follows closely the structure of the work performed so far.The first part, section 4, focuses on understand<strong>in</strong>g the current carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t of thePortuguese economy and on forecast<strong>in</strong>g its evolution to 2020 <strong>in</strong> a Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usual scenario,<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g an estimate of the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry’s footpr<strong>in</strong>t. Section 5 focuses on identify<strong>in</strong>g the potentialfor reduction of the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry’s direct footpr<strong>in</strong>t, as well as on identify<strong>in</strong>g and quantify<strong>in</strong>g ICTenabled<strong>in</strong>itiatives to reduce the carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t of other sectors. Section 6 focuses on furtherdevelop<strong>in</strong>g those <strong>in</strong>itiatives that have the highest potential for emission reduction and a high ICTcontent, consider<strong>in</strong>g specific technological developments needed, implementation hurdles andf<strong>in</strong>ancial impacts. F<strong>in</strong>ally, section 7 derives the high level implications of the identified priority<strong>in</strong>itiatives for policy makers, citizens, companies and the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry. The <strong>report</strong> ends withconclud<strong>in</strong>g remarks (section 8) that sum up the opportunity and call for action.

SMART Portugal 2020’s projection of 82.3MtonCO 2e for 2010 lies with<strong>in</strong> this range.Projections for each of the ma<strong>in</strong> end-user sectors are:• Industry/Construction: Stabilisation of emissions (-0.3% CAGR 2007-2020)result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 22.8 MtonCO2e <strong>in</strong> 2020.• Transport: Slight decrease <strong>in</strong> emissions (-0.7% CAGR 2007-2020) lead<strong>in</strong>g to 18.3MtonCO2e <strong>in</strong> 2020, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g new developments <strong>in</strong> all transport modes (e.g. newrailway and air travel capacities, electric car).• Residential/Services (exclud<strong>in</strong>g ICT): Slight decrease <strong>in</strong> emissions (-0.7% CAGR2007-2020) to 14.3 MtonCO2e <strong>in</strong> 2020.Because of its relevance to the overall carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t it is also worth focus<strong>in</strong>g on theevolution of emissions from electricity generation and as a result, on the role of energy policies.The evolution of electricity emissions is related to two key levers:• The first is the change <strong>in</strong> the amount of electricity consumed. This is related tothe levels of activity or output of the different sectors, as well as to the energyefficiency (the amount of electricity required to generate one unit of output oractivity). Higher or lower demand has direct implications on generation, withdemand for more energy be<strong>in</strong>g met by <strong>in</strong>creased use of emitt<strong>in</strong>g (e.g. CCGT)generation. Energy efficiency programs set by the government directly reduce8MEI – A policy with ambition


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTexpected emissions from electricity generation by lower<strong>in</strong>g consumption.• The second lever is the emissions required to generate one unit of electricity.For example, a higher mix of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) <strong>in</strong> electricitygeneration mean that for each kWh generated, less CO 2e is emitted. An expected<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> use of renewable energy sources through <strong>in</strong>vestments <strong>in</strong> w<strong>in</strong>d andhydro will allow 48% of national generation to be from non-emitt<strong>in</strong>g sources <strong>in</strong> a2020 BAU scenario.The consideration and separation of both levers is key to correctly determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g emissionevolution scenarios. This enables the separation of the impact of public policies on nationalgeneration mix and unit emissions from the evolution of demand, and its impact on electricityconsumption.In particular, it is worth mention<strong>in</strong>g the impact of public policies <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g the use ofnon emitt<strong>in</strong>g sources, namely by foster<strong>in</strong>g renewable energies.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICT05 The ICT Enabl<strong>in</strong>g EffectAs seen <strong>in</strong> section 4, <strong>in</strong> a BAU scenario, the Portuguese carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t is expected toreach 81.1MtonCO 2e by 2020.In this total footpr<strong>in</strong>t, the ICT sector is responsible for approximately 1.13 MtonCO 2e(1.2% of the total). The size of the number makes it clear that regardless of the potential to reduceICT’s direct footpr<strong>in</strong>t, this will not be a major contribution to the solution of the overall problem,although reduction is possible and should be pursued. The larger prize for the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry willbe as part of the overall solution, ma<strong>in</strong>ly through its ability to enable reduction <strong>in</strong> emissions fromother sectors.A careful analysis of ICT-enabled measures, applied to the Portuguese economy, andtak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account <strong>in</strong>put from experts on the situation <strong>in</strong> Portugal, highlighted a potential forCO 2e emission reductions of 11.9 to 12.6MtonCO 2e. This represents 15% of the overall emissionsexpected <strong>in</strong> 2020, roughly ten times the ICT sector’s direct carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> 2020.This reduction <strong>in</strong> GHG emissions has a total economic value of ¤2.2 billion, of which ¤0.4billion is CO 2e reductions and ¤1.8 billion is energy sav<strong>in</strong>gs. The transport sector is responsiblefor the majority (~57%) of these sav<strong>in</strong>gs, with the residential/services sector and energyautoconsumption/energetic losses sector at ~ 20% and 12% respectively.This is, <strong>in</strong> fact, a conservative value that does not take <strong>in</strong>to account possible breakthroughor disruptive technologies that may transform the CO 2emission landscape even further.Unexpected success of technologies associated with mass implementation of microgeneration/distributed generation, mass adoption of the electric car, or even breakthrough technologies <strong>in</strong>computer virtualization or cloud comput<strong>in</strong>g may provide even greater reductions <strong>in</strong> CO 2emissionsthan identified here.Even <strong>in</strong> this more conservative approach, the full realisation of the identified ICT-enabledreductions would be enough to meet the proposed 2020 targets for Portugal.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTThree key factors expla<strong>in</strong> the high relevance of these sectors on the overall ICT –enabledreduction potential identified <strong>in</strong> Portugal:• Both sectors are substantial emitters. Transportation accounts for 23% of totalemissions <strong>in</strong> Portugal and Residential/Services accounts for 18% <strong>in</strong> 2020 (<strong>in</strong> a BAUscenario). This makes them respectively the 2 nd and 3 rd largest emitt<strong>in</strong>g sectors.• Neither transport nor residential/services are <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the current ETS directive 11(except <strong>in</strong>directly through electricity production), and therefore are not subject toCO 2price signals and <strong>in</strong>centives to curb emissions as <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustry.• In these two sectors, emissions depend on the <strong>in</strong>dividual behaviours of a fragmentedset of decision makers (home owners, automobile drivers), rather than regulat<strong>in</strong>glarge emitt<strong>in</strong>g units. Reduc<strong>in</strong>g emissions therefore requires monitor<strong>in</strong>g and provid<strong>in</strong>gcoherent <strong>in</strong>centives to this large, disparate set of decision makers, with all thatthis implies <strong>in</strong> terms of <strong>in</strong>formation gather<strong>in</strong>g, process<strong>in</strong>g and transmission. This issometh<strong>in</strong>g that plays to ICT’s strengths, and a number of technologies and solutionshave been developed <strong>in</strong> recent years to address these concerns.In transport four key ICT <strong>in</strong>itiatives account for 79% of the total ICT-enabled reductionpotential 12 of 6.2 MtonCO 2e:• A congestion management system could be applied to the major Portuguese urbanareas, as <strong>in</strong> the London congestion charge case study, with a potential impact of 1.4MtonCO 2e. ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement would be crucial to achiev<strong>in</strong>g this – from gate control tomonitor<strong>in</strong>g devices to real time pric<strong>in</strong>g implementation and traffic data process<strong>in</strong>gsoftware.• A Pay-As-You-Emit <strong>in</strong>itiative would allow real time monitor<strong>in</strong>g and account<strong>in</strong>gof real emissions. ICT solutions are required for real time monitor<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>formationtransmission and data process<strong>in</strong>g at different levels (users, tax authorities, citytraffic managers). Comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g these with an automotive tax reform, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g theapplication of the polluter-payer pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, would allow a reduction of 1.0 MtonCO 2e.This also relies on ICT to measure, process and transmit emissions data to both thedriver and the tax authorities.• Widespread adoption of freight logistics optimisation software could achievesignificant carbon footpr<strong>in</strong>t sav<strong>in</strong>gs through more efficient route plann<strong>in</strong>g, deliveryschedul<strong>in</strong>g and an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> load factors – an estimated reduction of 1.5 MtonCO 2ecom<strong>in</strong>g ma<strong>in</strong>ly from fuel sav<strong>in</strong>gs. Such solutions are already commercially available<strong>in</strong> Portugal 13 .• Driver tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g could represent a potential sav<strong>in</strong>g of 1.1 MtonCO 2e, ma<strong>in</strong>ly throughchang<strong>in</strong>g driv<strong>in</strong>g styles to reduce emissions; <strong>in</strong> this case, ICT’s ma<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>volvement isthrough simulation tools for the tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of professional drivers and other citizens.11Although power generation is <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the ETS, electricity consumption is not. The end result is that emission reduc<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>itiatives todayare mostly focused on reduc<strong>in</strong>g emissions through <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g renewables without focus<strong>in</strong>g on reduc<strong>in</strong>g emissions through <strong>in</strong>creased energyefficiency <strong>in</strong> consumers.12Calculation details and assumptions <strong>in</strong> Appendix 413E.g.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTIn build<strong>in</strong>gs, the identified emission reduction potential comes from the <strong>in</strong>troductionof ICT-enabled functionalities <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g energy management 14 . This reduction potential couldamount to 2.4 MtonCO 2e by deploy<strong>in</strong>g ICT-enabled energy efficiency systems, e.g. developmentof household equipment with lower consumption on stand-by, variable speed drives for HVAC orbuild<strong>in</strong>g temperature and air monitor<strong>in</strong>g systems. More complex systems can maximise energyefficiency by <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g:• Real time consumption monitor<strong>in</strong>g, with warn<strong>in</strong>g and displays;• Customised <strong>in</strong>formation and advice on how to cont<strong>in</strong>uously improve energy efficiency;• Centralised and remote control;• Automated control for lights, HVAC, appliances (<strong>in</strong> home or <strong>in</strong> office).There is clear potential, particularly <strong>in</strong> office build<strong>in</strong>gs, for convergence with otherrelevant management systems to <strong>in</strong>crease sav<strong>in</strong>gs potential (e.g. access, control, security,communication etc.).These ICT-enabled sav<strong>in</strong>gs can be implemented autonomously by build<strong>in</strong>g owners oroccupants, <strong>in</strong>dependently of changes to the systems or overall “<strong>in</strong>telligence” of the electricitydistribution grid, but with the potential for further reductions if smart grid technologies areimplemented.Electricity generation and Energy & Energetic Losses have potential for sizeablereductions of 1.2 MtonCO 2e and 1.1 MtonCO 2e respectively, which would be achievable throughthe deployment of active grid management systems, commonly referred to as smart grids. These<strong>in</strong>clude communication and control capabilities <strong>in</strong> the network as well as household <strong>in</strong>terfaceequipment (e.g. smart meters). The grid must be able to handle the diverse requirements of anetwork of the future, where <strong>in</strong>formation flows become <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly complex and bidirectional.These <strong>in</strong>clude capabilities to handle <strong>in</strong>formation transmitt<strong>in</strong>g from producers to consumers, fromgrid management systems to microgeneration and developed distributed generation, as well asthe symmetric <strong>in</strong>formation flows com<strong>in</strong>g from the consumers to the grid. Achiev<strong>in</strong>g this requiresthe ability to handle a new network paradigm, one resembl<strong>in</strong>g the early Internet. This would<strong>in</strong>clude new bidirectional communication and client control capabilities, household meter systemswith the ability to implement time of day/real time pric<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>terruptability contracts, actuatorsable to selectively switch off or reduce consumption of appliances <strong>in</strong> response to price signalsor other <strong>in</strong>formation provided by the grid, or improved user <strong>in</strong>formation, which would togetherallow consumers to play a part <strong>in</strong> optimis<strong>in</strong>g the operation of the system. By do<strong>in</strong>g this, ICTenabledsolutions facilitate the system’s operation and the handl<strong>in</strong>g of distributed generation,manag<strong>in</strong>g both supply and demand while provid<strong>in</strong>g consumers and suppliers with greater usable<strong>in</strong>formation.In the <strong>in</strong>dustrial sector, the application of ICT-enabled solutions would allow reductionsof 0.5 MtonCO 2e, mostly through better process monitor<strong>in</strong>g and control and the application ofvariable control motors, which manage consumption to adapt to real time conditions and demands<strong>in</strong>stead of operat<strong>in</strong>g cont<strong>in</strong>uously at full power. This potential is relatively small as emissions fromthis sector are already limited by the ETS directive, and hence a substantial sav<strong>in</strong>g has already14Energy efficiencies through non-ICT-enabled actions not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> estimates


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTbeen considered <strong>in</strong> the Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usual scenario.The ICT sector was also found to have potential to reduce its direct footpr<strong>in</strong>t by nearly40% vs. the Bus<strong>in</strong>ess As Usual scenario. While this is sizeable <strong>in</strong> relative terms, it represents nomore than 0.4MtonCO 2e, or 0.5% of total emissions by 2020.When consider<strong>in</strong>g the ICT-enabled emission reduction potential, it is also important toconsider an effect usually referred to as the “rebound” effect. This effect occurs when <strong>in</strong>itiativesimplemented to reduce carbon emissions result <strong>in</strong> an equivalent emission through another activity,generated by the <strong>in</strong>itial <strong>in</strong>itiative. Two key levers exist to m<strong>in</strong>imise the “rebound” effect:• Def<strong>in</strong>ition of <strong>in</strong>itiatives that do not create user habits where current emitt<strong>in</strong>gactivity is tradable with other emitt<strong>in</strong>g activity;• Clear def<strong>in</strong>ition of <strong>in</strong>centives that reward lower emissions due to activity and do notreward only the activity (reward<strong>in</strong>g the “end” and not the “means”).Fully address<strong>in</strong>g the rebound effect will require other types of public policies such asemission caps or green certificates, not considered <strong>in</strong> the scope of this project.The impact of these ICT-enabled <strong>in</strong>itiatives is not exclusively on the reduction of GHGemissions and the related contribution to susta<strong>in</strong>ability. Consider<strong>in</strong>g the estimated CO 2price andend user value of the different energy forms that could be saved (power, fuel), it is possible todeterm<strong>in</strong>e the direct economic value of the identified <strong>in</strong>itiatives. This direct economic impact froma full application of SMART Portugal <strong>in</strong>itiatives would range from ¤2.2 billion to ¤2.3 billion.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTThis estimate of economic value is clearly conservative, s<strong>in</strong>ce it does not account forother <strong>in</strong>direct or less tangible impacts that could be considered. These <strong>in</strong>clude potential bus<strong>in</strong>essbenefits for the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry from additional sales of solutions developed or <strong>in</strong>novative commercialoffers created through proposed solutions for different end clients. For example, <strong>in</strong>creasedcommunication capabilities with clients will not only allow suppliers to have greater knowledge ofconsumer profiles and create tailored energy consumption offers, but also serve as a portal to offervalue-added services to clients, stimulat<strong>in</strong>g market liberalisation.Another potential source of economic value is cost-avoidance <strong>in</strong> capital <strong>in</strong>vestments,namely <strong>in</strong> energy production, transport and distribution <strong>in</strong>frastructures, which would be a resultof reduced energy consumption or better usage of the <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong>frastructure. As an example, theimplementation of smart grids could allow a ¤220M to ¤450M reduction 15 <strong>in</strong> capital <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong>electricity T&D networks.Further detail on the identified ICT-enabled <strong>in</strong>itiatives and their impact on the emissionsof the different sectors can be found <strong>in</strong> Appendix 4.5.1 Direct ICT reductionsA sector built on the basis of constant <strong>in</strong>novation and growth, the ICT sector hasn’talways paid attention to its energy efficiency. Although consumption reduction has been anarea for <strong>in</strong>novation, current growth <strong>in</strong> process<strong>in</strong>g and equipment capabilities mean that energyefficiencies are mostly offset by an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> unit demand.However, the ICT sector is capable of greatly improv<strong>in</strong>g its energy efficiency, mostlythrough apply<strong>in</strong>g exist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>novations across all equipment categories or by selectively launch<strong>in</strong>gever more efficient products.Although the percentage reduction of the Portuguese ICT footpr<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> a SMART 2020scenario is the largest of all the analysed sectors, with up to 40% reduction, this full potential islimited to 0.43 MtonCO 2e, or 0.5% of the total emissions, as the sector only accounts for 1.2%of total emissions <strong>in</strong> the 2020 BAU scenario.

This accelerated growth has come to theattention of all stakeholders; from Governments, companies and manufacturers, to the generalpublic. However, research and detail<strong>in</strong>g of best-practices has shown that there is substantial roomfor reduction <strong>in</strong> datacenter emissions.Currently datacenters consume energy both <strong>in</strong> server power consumption and <strong>in</strong> cool<strong>in</strong>gand power systems. Exist<strong>in</strong>g data shows that non-operation related consumption (e.g. cool<strong>in</strong>g)represents up to 50% of a datacenter’s total consumption.

This allows better plann<strong>in</strong>g of capacity dispatch<strong>in</strong>g and better capacityto handle an <strong>in</strong>creased amount of variable generation by renewable sources or distributed microgeneration.Consumption management is enabled by a set of features usually called Demand SideManagement (DSM), which gives higher visibility of consumption and more differentiated pricesignals, as well as direct actuation or even selective <strong>in</strong>terruptability of circuits or devices by theelectricity supplier. Allow<strong>in</strong>g the customer to directly view consumption and prices tends to result<strong>in</strong> an immediate reduction <strong>in</strong> electricity demand.

Network losses are proportional to the square of the transmittedpower, so by reduc<strong>in</strong>g peak consumptions, a more than proportional reduction <strong>in</strong> losses isachieved.All these capabilities of power management rely on a high level of ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement. Fromphysical meter<strong>in</strong>g devices for the monitor<strong>in</strong>g of energy transits to the advanced software requiredfor real time analysis, ICT is required as an <strong>in</strong>tegrated solution, enabl<strong>in</strong>g differentiated capabilities.• The devices required <strong>in</strong>clude <strong>in</strong>strumentation and meter<strong>in</strong>g for the assessment ofconsumption levels, load and generation at different po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the grid. Visibilityshould be strengthened with the use of specific user <strong>in</strong>terfaces and equipmentcontrollers to allow <strong>in</strong>creased responsiveness from user-based dynamic pric<strong>in</strong>g.It is also necessary to allow grid-consumer <strong>in</strong>teraction to optimise potentialefficiencies with<strong>in</strong> residences (e.g. permitt<strong>in</strong>g DSM capabilities). Greater controlcould be achieved by us<strong>in</strong>g energy-controll<strong>in</strong>g devices for electric appliances,allow<strong>in</strong>g effective peak shav<strong>in</strong>g and appliance <strong>in</strong>terruptability, as well asmonitor<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>in</strong>dividual appliance consumption;• A good communication <strong>in</strong>frastructure is needed <strong>in</strong> order to enable bidirectionaldispatch of <strong>in</strong>formation, which is key to giv<strong>in</strong>g dynamic pric<strong>in</strong>g signals to theconsumer. Remote control of equipment is also needed <strong>in</strong> this type of set-up.Security standards are critical to avoid security hazards and fraud;• Integrat<strong>in</strong>g consumer <strong>in</strong>formation with generation data relies on advancedsoftware capabilities, which should be able to collect process and display <strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>tuitive formats (e.g. consumption profiles per household with <strong>in</strong>curred costs) oract automatically on a given set of rules.Implementation of ICT capabilities <strong>in</strong> power generation vary widely depend<strong>in</strong>g ondef<strong>in</strong>itions and capabilities <strong>in</strong>cluded. Captur<strong>in</strong>g the full potential implies a more <strong>in</strong>clusive solution,capable of handl<strong>in</strong>g the different aspects needed to prepare a grid to handle the demands of futurenetworks.From management of grid assets (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g clients, power l<strong>in</strong>es and generation units),to obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and process<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>formation related to grid and consumption, a comprehensive SmartGrid solution will need complex, yet obta<strong>in</strong>able ICT solutions to reach the full potential identified.Handl<strong>in</strong>g efficiently <strong>in</strong>termitent generation from renewables as well as microgenerationwill only be possible through an end-to-end ICT-enabled Smart Grid approach to powermanagement. The real time feedback on consumption, electricity flows and network <strong>in</strong>cidentsatta<strong>in</strong>ed through the use of ICT <strong>in</strong> the grid are essential for better coord<strong>in</strong>ation of dispatchand consumption, as well as for better use of network assets, lower<strong>in</strong>g the need for additional<strong>in</strong>vestment and associated emissions.

Major players are already <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> many pilot projects <strong>in</strong> Europe, with no commontechnological framework.While the base technologies are ready for deployment, these multiple pilot projects ondifferent scales and technologies around the world illustrate that standardisation is required at thenational level for the system to be implemented.

It should be noted that further potential exists <strong>in</strong> thissector via the deployment of smart grids, specifically <strong>in</strong> demand side management (considered<strong>in</strong> section 6.1) and the provision by energy management services, particularly <strong>in</strong> the residentialsegment. It also already takes <strong>in</strong>to account the optimised scenario for the expected electricitygeneration mix <strong>in</strong> 2020 as described above. It is therefore completely <strong>in</strong>cremental to the potentialidentified <strong>in</strong> power management systems.Sav<strong>in</strong>gs from non-ICT <strong>in</strong>itiatives, such as low consumption light<strong>in</strong>g, architecture orthermal <strong>in</strong>sulation also have a substantial potential to reduce emissions by lower<strong>in</strong>g the energyconsumption needed for light<strong>in</strong>g or climate control. These <strong>in</strong>itiatives should be pursued but werenot contemplated <strong>in</strong> the calculations.The most basic ICT-enabled <strong>in</strong>itiatives relate to occupancy-based light<strong>in</strong>g and aircondition<strong>in</strong>g, while more sophisticated <strong>in</strong>itiatives <strong>in</strong>volve reth<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g entire build<strong>in</strong>g constructionand management processes, from design phase (optimised eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g and architecture softwaretools used to enable better energy plann<strong>in</strong>g) to active and predictive (anticipative) energymanagement.

Furthermore,<strong>in</strong> order to realise the identified potential, adoption <strong>in</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g build<strong>in</strong>gs will need to be fostered.Widespread improvement of build<strong>in</strong>g efficiency could only happen if efficiency standardsare enforced by public authorities. The <strong>in</strong>troduction of construction standards with certificationand audit<strong>in</strong>g processes will allow annual taxes (e.g. IMI) to be adjusted accord<strong>in</strong>g to the energyefficiency of the build<strong>in</strong>gs, encourag<strong>in</strong>g exist<strong>in</strong>g owners to <strong>in</strong>vest <strong>in</strong> order to obta<strong>in</strong> a highergrade certification. This does, however, require that the certification process acknowledges andkeeps up to date with efficiency improv<strong>in</strong>g solutions until a certification process for the solutionsthemselves is put <strong>in</strong> place. The need for the Portuguese state to curb emissions <strong>in</strong> sectors notcovered by the ETS directive creates a powerful <strong>in</strong>centive for the adoption of these policy changes.From a technological standpo<strong>in</strong>t, many of the required solutions are available, with thekey challenge rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> standardisation and retrofit simplicity. Standardisation is key to achievescale and hence lower costs to make the bus<strong>in</strong>ess case even more compell<strong>in</strong>g. More important,however, is the ability to develop solutions that are simple to deploy, particularly for retrofits. Thissimplicity <strong>in</strong>cludes for example the use of wireless communication technologies to m<strong>in</strong>imise civilworks and the <strong>in</strong>stallation skills required from technicians.

These two <strong>in</strong>itiatives were highlighted as they have a high ICT-enabled impact and are topconcerns for European authorities when consider<strong>in</strong>g susta<strong>in</strong>able mobility.Congestion Management systems have been highlighted by the European Commissionrecently as a key driver to achieve a more susta<strong>in</strong>able transport system. Several similar <strong>in</strong>itiativeshave been launched <strong>in</strong>ternationally and served as basis for the identification of the potentialreduction.S<strong>in</strong>gapore City pioneered this type of solution <strong>in</strong> 1975 with traffic reductions reach<strong>in</strong>gas much as 45%. Follow<strong>in</strong>g S<strong>in</strong>gpore’s success, Seoul achieved up to a 25% reduction <strong>in</strong> traffic <strong>in</strong>their first year of implementation 19 . Stockholm recently launched a congestion program; dur<strong>in</strong>ga seven-month trial <strong>in</strong> 2006 up to 14% emission reductions were achieved – the full deploymentdur<strong>in</strong>g 2007 was a natural consequence.Industry experts agree that for the Portuguese case, a conservative emission reductionof 20% is obta<strong>in</strong>able, similar to the direct impact of the London congestion charge on emissions 20 .London is frequently cited as a successful bus<strong>in</strong>ess case for congestion management <strong>in</strong> Europe.A Congestion Management scheme works along several levers.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICT07 Portugal 2020 ImplicationsRealis<strong>in</strong>g the identified ITC-enabled opportunities could be enough for Portugal to meetthe proposed EU targets for 2020, as they <strong>in</strong>dicate a potential 15% versus the BAU scenario.The three priority areas alone would represent an 8.5% reduction vs. the BAU scenario,clos<strong>in</strong>g 70% of the gap to likely 2020 targets.Realis<strong>in</strong>g this potential requires will<strong>in</strong>gness and determ<strong>in</strong>ation to act from all stakeholders<strong>in</strong>volved, but will deliver significant benefits that the country cannot afford to waste.Indeed, all key stakeholders could benefit from the adoption of SMART Portugal 2020<strong>in</strong>itiatives to combat the expected susta<strong>in</strong>ability problem: public authorities will have to cope withthe challenge of reduc<strong>in</strong>g emissions <strong>in</strong> the near term to meet Kyoto targets; citizens with <strong>in</strong>creasedsocial responsibility need to engage <strong>in</strong> cultural change; ICT has a strong <strong>in</strong>volvement <strong>in</strong> theSMART <strong>in</strong>itiatives, and by be<strong>in</strong>g part of the solution, can f<strong>in</strong>d and use new bus<strong>in</strong>ess opportunities.However, to extract the maximum potential from ICT enablement, several constra<strong>in</strong>tsmust be tackled. Authorities must adapt policies to br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>centives <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e with the adoption ofsusta<strong>in</strong>able <strong>in</strong>novative solutions. Regardless of sector, the success of the reduction strategies relieson more ambitious policies transferr<strong>in</strong>g responsibility to citizens. On their side, citizens have a keyrole to play <strong>in</strong> the success of the <strong>in</strong>itiatives – acceptance of new measures by us<strong>in</strong>g new tools andchang<strong>in</strong>g cultural behaviours will determ<strong>in</strong>e how successful the implementation becomes. F<strong>in</strong>ally,the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry needs to carefully estimate the potential <strong>in</strong>vestments and hurdles to be overcome<strong>in</strong> the implementation of such a transformation and hence decide on core capabilities that need tobe developed for application <strong>in</strong> Portugal.7.1 Public AuthoritiesThe SMART Portugal 2020 <strong>report</strong> identifies a set of <strong>in</strong>itiatives that create an opportunityfor Portugal to set standards <strong>in</strong> the effort to curb GHG emissions.With application of the all the <strong>in</strong>itiatives identified , Portugal would be well positioned toreach the agreed Kyoto targets and those that are be<strong>in</strong>g discussed for 2020, becom<strong>in</strong>g a case studyfor the other member states.This <strong>report</strong> <strong>in</strong>dicates a course of action with different levers that could be pulled <strong>in</strong>critical susta<strong>in</strong>ability areas – from tackl<strong>in</strong>g sectors currently not covered by the ETS directive,like transportation, to a general <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess efficiency, l<strong>in</strong>ked with energy and logisticsimprovements.Realis<strong>in</strong>g the potential upsides estimated <strong>in</strong> the SMART Portugal 2020 will requirestrong support from policy makers. This is especially true for the priority areas identified. Thelargest reduction opportunities identified require significant policy realignment – current legalframeworks are not <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e with government ambitions to promote <strong>in</strong>creased efficiency and


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTtechnological development, especially <strong>in</strong> fragmented sectors such as build<strong>in</strong>gs or transportation.For the transport sector, realis<strong>in</strong>g the full potential requires adoption of real timemonitor<strong>in</strong>g tools – and a change <strong>in</strong> the automotive taxation system so that emission costs aremade visible to the user. The adoption of these tools by the automotive <strong>in</strong>dustry is not likely tohappen <strong>in</strong> the medium term as it would require an implausible level of standardisation. Thus, localadoption is highly dependent on local authorities’ will<strong>in</strong>gness to act.A shift <strong>in</strong> the automotive tax burden is an example of action that should be promoted ona local/national scale. The transfer of a high percentage of the overall tax burden from fixed (IA,IUC) to variable components l<strong>in</strong>ked to actual emissions, without necessarily chang<strong>in</strong>g the overalltax burden, would require ICT devices to ensure the success of the overall solution.

The impact on key stakeholders currently <strong>in</strong> the electricity sectorshould be further detailed so that authorities could adapt regulatory frameworks, and so thattechnology development <strong>in</strong>itiatives (e.g. <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> use of renewable energy sources, electric cars)and tim<strong>in</strong>gs can be implemented accord<strong>in</strong>g to the potential <strong>in</strong>vestments and sav<strong>in</strong>gs at stake.For each stakeholder, redesign<strong>in</strong>g remuneration schemes is critical to assure the correct<strong>in</strong>centives for the <strong>in</strong>troduction of the identified solutions.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTdue to the reduced <strong>in</strong>vestment needed for the solutions identified.A similar path would be required for a review of build<strong>in</strong>gs certification. Although build<strong>in</strong>genergy certification is already <strong>in</strong> place today, captur<strong>in</strong>g the benefits of the adoption of SMARTsolutions implies that these benefits should be transferred to the user by tax <strong>in</strong>centives (or <strong>in</strong> theopposite by tax penalties) so that citizens and companies have a positive bus<strong>in</strong>ess case persuad<strong>in</strong>gthem to adopt efficiency tools.To conclude, the overall impact <strong>in</strong> the broader Portuguese economy could be verypositive. The impacts identified for the different <strong>in</strong>dustry areas would also result <strong>in</strong> a potentialimprovement of the National Trade Balance by reduc<strong>in</strong>g fuel imports and elim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g future CO 2related payments.However, reach<strong>in</strong>g the identified potential requires policy makers to take a proactiveapproach to validation of local conditions for application of the <strong>in</strong>itiatives, and to decide onthe best course of action for promotion of <strong>in</strong>itiatives. ICT can only help realise potential if theregulatory landscape is realigned to <strong>in</strong>crease society’s responsibilities.The Portuguese economy would benefit from the development of technological clusterswith advanced applications and solutions for susta<strong>in</strong>ability, a topic at the top of <strong>in</strong>ternationalagendas. Apply<strong>in</strong>g these solutions <strong>in</strong> Portugal and achiev<strong>in</strong>g the expected positive results would<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong>ternational focus on national solutions, and have a direct impact on the <strong>in</strong>ternationalperception of the Portuguese technology <strong>in</strong>dustry.7.2 Citizens and CompaniesSMART Portugal 2020 <strong>in</strong>itiatives encourage citizens and companies to share a commongoal: behave <strong>in</strong> a responsible way to fight climate change. This common attitude can only comefrom an <strong>in</strong>creased accountability for emissions responsibility, <strong>in</strong> both <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustries already underETS directive, and <strong>in</strong> other sectors like residential/services and transport, currently outsideregulation.From the citizen’s perspective, reduc<strong>in</strong>g GHG emissions is part of an <strong>in</strong>creased socialresponsibility. As expressed <strong>in</strong> the Context section of this <strong>report</strong>, the impacts from Climate Changecould seriously damage the outlook for future generations, and as a consequence, <strong>in</strong>dividualstoday need to change social behaviours.From a corporate perspective, the adoption of environmentally friendly practices wouldbe source of value creation. The <strong>in</strong>herent reduction of costs would come from several areas:sav<strong>in</strong>gs from energy efficiencies, not only from electricity consumption but also primary fuels,sav<strong>in</strong>gs on emissions related cost, with lower taxation levels; and Capex sav<strong>in</strong>gs by optimis<strong>in</strong>gasset use.The l<strong>in</strong>k between environmental behaviour and taxation has the potential to be themiss<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>k and trigger a behavioural change. Individual and corporate actions are expected to

An emissionconsciousattitude would benefit from reductions <strong>in</strong> energy cost, mak<strong>in</strong>g environmental awarenesseven more important. In addition, several of the <strong>in</strong>itiatives described here have a direct implicationon an <strong>in</strong>dividual’s quality of life, be it <strong>in</strong> terms of air quality, lower traffic congestion or overallenergy sav<strong>in</strong>gs.That be<strong>in</strong>g said, citizens will be forced to reth<strong>in</strong>k their lifestyle <strong>in</strong> the different sectorscovered by SMART Portugal 2020. In transportation, users should consider the new taxation andresult<strong>in</strong>g cost of vehicle ownership to develop different mobility strategies. The use of publictransport and the adoption of eco-friendly driv<strong>in</strong>g attitudes would <strong>in</strong>crease, driven by the directcost to the <strong>in</strong>dividual.On the Power Management side, consumers should be open to a shift towards a morerational use of electricity. Both citizens and companies should be alert to pric<strong>in</strong>g signals and reactaccord<strong>in</strong>gly; they should also be will<strong>in</strong>g to actively reshape their consumption profiles to allow the<strong>in</strong>troduction of cheaper and less pollut<strong>in</strong>g generation methods.The same attitude should <strong>in</strong>crease adoption of efficiency standards across households.If a structured <strong>in</strong>centive scheme is <strong>in</strong> place, people will tend to adopt solutions more quickly.Successful implementation of energy efficiency schemes is already happen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Portugal, asevidenced by the <strong>in</strong>creased penetration of energy efficient lamps <strong>in</strong> public and private light<strong>in</strong>g.7.3 ICT IndustrySMART Portugal 2020 is a key opportunity for the Portuguese ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry. The<strong>in</strong>itiatives identified require a high level of ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement, with the development of specificsolutions <strong>in</strong>corporat<strong>in</strong>g advanced technology. Beyond the direct bus<strong>in</strong>ess opportunity fromICT as an enabler, it is an opportunity for the Portuguese ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry to be recognised for itstechnological leadership, both <strong>in</strong> Portugal and abroad.In fact, the ICT enablement effect identified by SMART Portugal 2020 highlights thebus<strong>in</strong>ess opportunity that exists for ICT. Estimated sav<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> terms of carbon emissions andenergy can only be reached with significant ICT <strong>in</strong>vestment. However, first pay-back estimatesconfirm the sound bus<strong>in</strong>ess case underly<strong>in</strong>g those <strong>in</strong>vestments.Portugal, due to its characteristics <strong>in</strong> terms of size, demographics and market structuresmakes an attractive “liv<strong>in</strong>g lab” to showcase many of these solutions before deployment abroad.The majority of the technologies <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>itiates already exist. The required effort liesmostly <strong>in</strong> packag<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>tegrated solutions, with specific applications and features that enable realsav<strong>in</strong>gs, rather than develop<strong>in</strong>g entirely new technologies.

The economicbenefits and stakeholder concentration required to make them happen create bus<strong>in</strong>essopportunities with an impact on overall emissions that should be pursued by the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry.The existence of market conditions suitable for the deployment of these solutions isdemonstrated by the solutions and projects already <strong>in</strong> development. The ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry is active<strong>in</strong> production of environmental solutions, and does not need to wait for policy makers to movebefore it can become a larger part of the solution to the climate change problem.Areas such as logistics plann<strong>in</strong>g for freight forwarders and logistics operators, <strong>in</strong>itiatives<strong>in</strong> the ITC <strong>in</strong>dustry to reduce its own footpr<strong>in</strong>t, or the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g offer of dematerialised servicesshow the ability of the <strong>in</strong>dustry to <strong>in</strong>itiate a change. Even <strong>in</strong> areas where public policy might berequired for full deployment and achievement of the potential identified <strong>in</strong> the research (such asbuild<strong>in</strong>g automation systems), the <strong>in</strong>dustry is already active. The challenge lies <strong>in</strong> systematicallyidentify<strong>in</strong>g specific areas of opportunity that can be tapped <strong>in</strong>to, and develop<strong>in</strong>g adequatelypackaged solutions to address those areas. This means a targeted approach to the needs of specificcustomer segments, cater<strong>in</strong>g for specific concerns and elim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g cost-add<strong>in</strong>g features that are notvalued by these clients.Although technologically all the pieces are <strong>in</strong> place, <strong>in</strong> many cases substantial efforts arestill required for standardisation and <strong>in</strong>dustrialisation to achieve the required reliability, cost andease of deployment.In Transport systems, even if the technological build<strong>in</strong>g blocks are <strong>in</strong> place, a standardsolution must be developed that allows real time emissions monitor<strong>in</strong>g and access control. Thistype of solution can be deployed nationally, although wider standardisation would allow higherscale economies and easier adoption.


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTThe technologies <strong>in</strong>volved (meter<strong>in</strong>g of emissions, user <strong>in</strong>terface, communications withauthorities, authentication, etc.) are known to the <strong>in</strong>dustry, but significant effort is needed toeffectively <strong>in</strong>dustrialise the technology and meet requirements for overall cost and ease of rollout.In Power management systems, several pilot programs are already <strong>in</strong> place to demonstratethe feasibility of the solutions proposed. However, challenges rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the standardisation ofmeter<strong>in</strong>g procedures and data transmission, <strong>in</strong> user <strong>in</strong>terfaces and <strong>in</strong> external or <strong>in</strong>-built actuatorsto control specific appliances.Ideally, and <strong>in</strong> order to realise the maximum scale advantage, standardisation at anEuropean level should be sought; however, given the large number of projects and trials alreadyunderway at the European level with no common technological platform, standardisation at thenational level, with leverag<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>in</strong>ternational scale at the sub component level (e.g. sensors,actuators) is probably the most realistic approach.Given the critical nature of the services be<strong>in</strong>g managed, security and system <strong>in</strong>tegrity areadditional key features to be developed <strong>in</strong> the process.In Build<strong>in</strong>g systems, adoption will be highly dependent on the ability to build on theexist<strong>in</strong>g technologies to develop solutions that are cost effective and easy to deploy, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>gretrofitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to exist<strong>in</strong>g build<strong>in</strong>gs, a key barrier to widespread adoption.This requires a targeted effort to package exist<strong>in</strong>g technologies <strong>in</strong>to solutions that can bedeployed with m<strong>in</strong>imal retrofit construction works and that take <strong>in</strong>to account the skill set requiredfrom technicians <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>stallation.The deployment of SMART <strong>in</strong>itiatives with high ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement <strong>in</strong> Portugal will be anopportunity for the Portuguese ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry to be recognised for its technological leadership.Industrialis<strong>in</strong>g and deploy<strong>in</strong>g solutions for SMART Portugal 2020 would <strong>in</strong>crease ICT <strong>in</strong>dustrycapabilities and product portfolio. Moreover, the successful results predicted for Portugal wouldimprove <strong>in</strong>ternational perception of Portuguese technological capabilities. As a consequence,the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry could <strong>in</strong>crease its exportability and generate new bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> other countriesfollow<strong>in</strong>g the same SMART path.In addition, the platforms for data gather<strong>in</strong>g and systems actuation created for different<strong>in</strong>itiatives will enable the development of value added services (e.g. consumption optimisationalgorithms, usage pattern analysis, payment for services) for end users based on those resources.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTEven though the solution is not purely driven by the ICT sector, no sector like ICT hasthe potential to be the unify<strong>in</strong>g thread to achieve this solution, br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g together Government,Companies, Citizens and solutions.Quick steps should be taken to realise an emission reduction potential of 11.9 CO2e andto capture the estimated ¤2.2 billion of opportunities identified for the Portuguese economy.The ICT sector should serve as the unify<strong>in</strong>g thread and work along side other sectors and policymakers to develop the necessary next steps to realise this potential – broadly discuss<strong>in</strong>g theconclusions and recommendations of this study, structur<strong>in</strong>g a detailed roadmap and implement<strong>in</strong>gthe proposed <strong>in</strong>itiatives along the three ma<strong>in</strong> areas of action identified: Transport, Energy / PowerManagement and Build<strong>in</strong>gs.For the ICT sector this means, <strong>in</strong> the first <strong>in</strong>stance proactively identify<strong>in</strong>g and pursu<strong>in</strong>gopportunities to develop solutions that are <strong>in</strong>dependent from policy changes or other third partyactions.However, it is important to acknowledge that the largest potential for change lies <strong>in</strong> areaswhere policy change is a requirement for either the implementation of <strong>in</strong>itiatives or realisationof its full potential. At the same time, the implementation of the proposed SMART <strong>in</strong>itiatives iscritical to provide the necessary basis for realis<strong>in</strong>g the full benefits of public policy <strong>in</strong> these threema<strong>in</strong> areas of action, and to develop new relevant policy measures.Start<strong>in</strong>g from the global Smart 2020 <strong>report</strong>, the Smart Portugal 2020 localises its conclusionsand derives implications at a country level. It proposes a path for future action, identify<strong>in</strong>g anddetail<strong>in</strong>g the most relevant ICT-based <strong>in</strong>itiatives to be implemented <strong>in</strong> Portugal. To facilitate the<strong>in</strong>teraction between all stakeholders relevant to this implementation process, the Smart Portugal2020 <strong>report</strong> also identifies <strong>in</strong>itial requirements and key success factors, as well as barriers to beovercome.It is now up to the ICT <strong>in</strong>dustry, work<strong>in</strong>g together with the key stakeholders and policyagents, to discuss, validate and further detail the solutions (technological and policy) that whencomb<strong>in</strong>ed maximise the contribution to GHG emission reduction and align the <strong>in</strong>centives of thedifferent stakeholders with rapid deployment of solutions. The stakeholder vision developed <strong>in</strong>Appendix 5 – The SMART Way, is a first contribution to thoughts on how this can be achieved.ICT’s potential can be rapidly realised through exist<strong>in</strong>g technologies, know-how, andoverall solutions. Decisions required from policy makers are known. Impacts on consumer andcompany habits have been identified.

These emissions are <strong>in</strong>fluenced by twofactors – actual electricity consumption by sector (e.g. ICT, residential/services, etc.) and thenational electricity production mix of emitt<strong>in</strong>g and non-emitt<strong>in</strong>g energy sources (e.g. coal, gas andfuel vs. hydro, w<strong>in</strong>d and other non-emitt<strong>in</strong>g sources).To clearly split the analysis between these two effects (production effects versusconsumption effects) electricity generation was analysed separately from electricity consumption.Although electricity consumption was allocated to each end user sector and emissions wereanalysed from a consumption po<strong>in</strong>t-of-view, a clear analysis of the electricity production sectoris key <strong>in</strong> order to understand what scenarios/<strong>in</strong>itiatives are due to changes <strong>in</strong> the generation mix(ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g these <strong>in</strong> the electricity generation sector), and what scenarios/<strong>in</strong>itiatives are due to<strong>in</strong>creased electricity efficiency or changes <strong>in</strong> electricity consumption (l<strong>in</strong>ked to each consumptionsector).As such, Electricity Generation was analysed <strong>in</strong> parallel with other sectors, <strong>in</strong>fluenc<strong>in</strong>gtheir emissions through changes <strong>in</strong> unitary emissions per kWh consumed.To project a 2020 BAU scenario of emissions (and to determ<strong>in</strong>e potential for emissionreduction) several assumptions were used for electricity generation <strong>in</strong> Portugal:• Emissions only relate to electricity production <strong>in</strong>side the Portuguese borders.As such, emissions related to electricity produced outside national borders wasconsidered as non-emitt<strong>in</strong>g (due to emissions be<strong>in</strong>g produced outside nationalborders), and total electricity produced equals national production plus net imports(net imports equals imports m<strong>in</strong>us exports)• Changes due to an <strong>in</strong>crease or decrease <strong>in</strong> ra<strong>in</strong> and hydro generation availabilitywere not modelled, and an average value was considered for hydro production <strong>in</strong>relation to <strong>in</strong>stalled capacity• Energy sector auto-consumption and network losses were considered as an<strong>in</strong>dependent emitt<strong>in</strong>g sector, <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> analysis <strong>in</strong> the same way as the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gconsum<strong>in</strong>g sectors.

This would require strong ICT<strong>in</strong>volvement, as the monitor<strong>in</strong>g of grid status is dependent on pervasive measurement devicesthat are able to communicate data and receive <strong>in</strong>structions, as well as advanced softwareand process<strong>in</strong>g tools. Stabilisation of the grid could allow an additional 10% penetration ofmicrogeneration by 2020. This <strong>in</strong>creased penetration of microgeneration, much of which willbe renewable (an effect already accounted for <strong>in</strong> generation), enables a further reduction ofemissions by requir<strong>in</strong>g a lower number of high voltage/low voltage transformations and a shorterdistance between production and consumption. This has an impact on network losses, estimated at0.08MtonCO 2e and 380GWh; with an associated f<strong>in</strong>ancial value of ¤26M.However, the major reduction potential could come from the full implementation ofDemand Side Management (DSM). In fact, the management of <strong>in</strong>dividual client consumptionswould allow application of selective <strong>in</strong>terruptability or power limitation, reshap<strong>in</strong>g theconsumption periods accord<strong>in</strong>g to the amount of generation available. Additionally, DSM is alsoimportant <strong>in</strong> compensation for <strong>in</strong>termittent w<strong>in</strong>d/solar generation, thus avoid<strong>in</strong>g more expensive(e.g. tertiary) reserve capacity.DSM would require an <strong>in</strong>tegrated approach with high ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement. From the controlof devices <strong>in</strong> households or offices to real-time consumption monitor<strong>in</strong>g and convey<strong>in</strong>g real timeprice signals, all the <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong>tegration and analysis relies on ICT enablers.Implement<strong>in</strong>g DSM would allow peak shav<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> the current power consumption (load)curve, either through the activation of <strong>in</strong>terruptability contracts or through the provision ofadequate price signals. Given the results achieved <strong>in</strong> pilot tests <strong>in</strong> the US (Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, Aust<strong>in</strong>,California), DSM could enable a 10-15% reduction of peak demand, which would, <strong>in</strong> a typicalPortuguese load curve, represent 2-5% of total power and hence emissions. Furthermore, becauseof the quadratic nature of network losses, shav<strong>in</strong>g 10-15% of peak energy could represent 4-10%


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTof total network losses. The overall impact of DSM implementation could reach 0.26MtonCO 2ewith sav<strong>in</strong>gs of 1,289GWh; the associated f<strong>in</strong>ancial value would range from ¤266M to ¤428M.ICT could provide devices and software to monitor real time consumption and providereal time price signals, so that consumers can assess and reth<strong>in</strong>k their behaviour. ICT could supportconsumer price signall<strong>in</strong>g features and <strong>in</strong>creased consumption visibility: the consumer would moveto use of more efficient equipments and so limit consumption to what is really needed when it isreally necessary.In this field, us<strong>in</strong>g ICT-enabled monitor<strong>in</strong>g and communication equipment would beessential to transmit consumption profile to users, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g data such as dynamic pric<strong>in</strong>g,improvement options and ma<strong>in</strong>tenance programs. Research by the Carbon Trust <strong>in</strong> the UKestimates that this <strong>in</strong>creased visibility could reduce consumption by up to 0.5% per year.Total potential for <strong>in</strong>creased consumption visibility and application of dynamic pric<strong>in</strong>g toclients gives a reduction of 2,064 GWh, or 0.75MtonCO 2e <strong>in</strong> avoided emissions. This represents upto ¤152Mper year <strong>in</strong> CO 2e and electricity sav<strong>in</strong>gs.Another key aspect to be considered is the <strong>in</strong>creased use of the capacity <strong>in</strong> the<strong>in</strong>stalled network. The above mentioned trials <strong>in</strong> the US have shown <strong>in</strong>vestment delays <strong>in</strong> local<strong>in</strong>frastructures of 3-5 years; this means lower levels of Capex required for grid expansion andma<strong>in</strong>tenance while achiev<strong>in</strong>g the same quality of service.Pilots projects that implement Power Management systems us<strong>in</strong>g ICT are occurr<strong>in</strong>gworldwide, as the sector implements these <strong>in</strong>novations <strong>in</strong> the Grids. Examples <strong>in</strong>clude a pilot <strong>in</strong>California and <strong>in</strong> several European countries, which confirm the maturity of the technology and itsread<strong>in</strong>ess for deployment.Consider<strong>in</strong>g the 3 detailed <strong>in</strong>itiatives, up to 1.1 MtonCO 2e reduction is possible, from a decrease <strong>in</strong>3.7 TWh, worth ¤266M.

A monitor<strong>in</strong>g system of emissions would establish a polluter-payer pr<strong>in</strong>ciple across thetransport sector, form<strong>in</strong>g a l<strong>in</strong>k between real emissions and vehicle charges.The <strong>in</strong>itiative requires a high level of ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement. The basis would be thedevelopment of an <strong>in</strong>-car device to measure emissions <strong>in</strong> real time. Two alternatives could then beconsidered: either the onl<strong>in</strong>e mode, where <strong>in</strong>formation would be sent <strong>in</strong> real time for process<strong>in</strong>g,or the offl<strong>in</strong>e mode, where it would be stored for later treatment. This second alternative wouldrequire the adoption of submission standards so that the driver could be charged periodically(rather than <strong>in</strong> real time).The monitored <strong>in</strong>formation could also be displayed <strong>in</strong> real time to the driver, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>ghis awareness of environment impact and cost, motivat<strong>in</strong>g a smoother driv<strong>in</strong>g.In vehicle emissionmonitor<strong>in</strong>gEmissioncommunicationInformationprocess<strong>in</strong>gEmission bill<strong>in</strong>gOnl<strong>in</strong>e SystemOffl<strong>in</strong>e SystemVehicle equipment measuresand displays emissions<strong>in</strong>formationVehicle transmits <strong>in</strong>formationor stores it for off-l<strong>in</strong>e analysisConsumption <strong>in</strong>formation isprocessed for bill<strong>in</strong>g andstatistical analysisBased on emissionsconsumers are billed or taxedSource: BCG analysisInternational studies identify a potential 10-15% sav<strong>in</strong>g on distances travelled 32 , althougha more conservative scenario has been used for Portugal after estimates from <strong>in</strong>dustry experts.Only passenger cars and light duty vehicles were assumed to reach a 10% reduction, giv<strong>in</strong>g apotential emissions reduction of 1.0MtonCO 2e.

SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTCongestion ManagementThe Congestion Management <strong>in</strong>itiative could act on several levers <strong>in</strong> order to reduce citytraffic congestion, all of them requir<strong>in</strong>g heavy use of ICT. These can <strong>in</strong>clude the more traditionalpark<strong>in</strong>g taxation right through to the application of tolls <strong>in</strong> the boundaries of the major cities.S<strong>in</strong>gapore pioneered use of such systems <strong>in</strong> 1975 - traffic reductions reached 45% witha very simple toll system. S<strong>in</strong>ce then, similar systems have been implemented <strong>in</strong> other developedcities worldwide, such as Seoul with a 25% reduction <strong>in</strong> traffic dur<strong>in</strong>g the first year 33 , or the morerecent adoption <strong>in</strong> Stockholm, with up to 14% emission reductions <strong>in</strong> a seven-month trial <strong>in</strong>2006 34 .The congestion charges applied <strong>in</strong> London are another example of strategies to reduceemissions. In fact, <strong>in</strong> only 5 years a very positive result of 20% CO 2e emissions reduction has beenachieved 35 .In addition to the emission profile of the Portuguese economy, which makestransportation a key area of action, the demographics of the country, with the two major urbanareas (greater Lisbon, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Setúbal and greater Oporto) account<strong>in</strong>g for more than 60% of thepopulation (Lisbon and Oporto) 36 , make congestion management not only a high impact <strong>in</strong>itiative,but also relatively easy to action (when compared to other countries).Another key aspect for the success of the Congestion management scheme is thealternatives that the users will have for city transport. Public transport services need to beadjusted to cope with <strong>in</strong>creased traffic, potentially through a restructure of the network. InPortugal, the very low load factors of public transport (e.g. 21% load factor <strong>in</strong> Carris <strong>in</strong> 2007)<strong>in</strong>dicate that free capacity available will be able to cope with at least some of the additionaldemand.The implementation of a similar system <strong>in</strong> Portuguese cities would require strong ICT<strong>in</strong>volvement at different levels. A car device would be required for vehicle identification. Several<strong>in</strong>terconnected devices would be needed for control: static ones at the city limits for the entrymonitor<strong>in</strong>g, video cameras to visualise real time traffic flows and sensors to monitor real timepark<strong>in</strong>g use.A permanent synchronisation scheme would be required to ensure that vehicle<strong>in</strong>formation is <strong>in</strong>tegrated with real time city traffic and that dynamic pric<strong>in</strong>g policies couldbe used. Different prices should be adopted for different vehicles types (e.g. exemptions forenvironmentally friendly ones) and occupancy features (high load factors could have chargebenefits), always consider<strong>in</strong>g the vehicle mix and traffic flows.The pric<strong>in</strong>g strategy for the urban park<strong>in</strong>g could also be reshaped with onl<strong>in</strong>e usage<strong>in</strong>formation. Although park<strong>in</strong>g is already charged for <strong>in</strong> major Portuguese cities, park<strong>in</strong>g fees are33APEIS – Asia-Pacific Environment Innovation Agency34The Stockholm Congestion Charg<strong>in</strong>g Trial – Expert group summary35European Union position paper on public transport36INE – Censo 2001


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTstill not sufficient to dramatically affect major congestion. A significant <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the peak timeprice <strong>in</strong> problematic areas would considerably reduce the number of trips to cities by car andwould encourage the use of public transport.A more ambitious scenario would be to develop the current traffic light managementsystems, (e.g. Gertrudes <strong>in</strong> Lisbon), and <strong>in</strong>crease their capability to <strong>in</strong>corporate real time traffic<strong>in</strong>formation, not only from each specific street, but also from other areas affect<strong>in</strong>g or be<strong>in</strong>gaffected by the behaviour of each traffic light. Nowadays, this system coord<strong>in</strong>ates traffic lights tocreate waves of traffic depend<strong>in</strong>g on time of day. However, it could <strong>in</strong>corporate traffic <strong>in</strong>formationand proactively manage major bottlenecks by redirect<strong>in</strong>g problematic flows, adapt<strong>in</strong>g dynamicallyto traffic as well as conduct<strong>in</strong>g traffic to desired city locations.In Portugal, this <strong>in</strong>itiative could save up to 1.4MtonCO 2or 0.5 billion litres, assum<strong>in</strong>g thesame level of impact as the London congestion charge scheme could be achieved on 80% of theBAU urban emissions (a conservative scenario consider<strong>in</strong>g other referenced examples). This has adirect economic value of ¤346M <strong>in</strong> avoided CO 2emissions and saved fuel.Freight LogisticsOptimis<strong>in</strong>g freight logistics can br<strong>in</strong>g significant sav<strong>in</strong>gs from both an emissions andeconomic perspective. Several levers can be <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong>to fleet management systems to<strong>in</strong>crease operators’ efficiency.In Portugal, these applications are already be<strong>in</strong>g used today, although <strong>in</strong> a specific set ofmore developed fleets, and with a lower level of functionality 37 . ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement, through globalposition<strong>in</strong>g systems located <strong>in</strong> the vehicle and real time traffic visualisation, enables cont<strong>in</strong>uousoptimisation of routes and related consumption. The optimisation takes <strong>in</strong>to account distances,roads, traffic, and the type of activity to be performed. Such systems have been shown to reachconservative travel and consumption reductions of 10% <strong>in</strong> Portugal, as national heavy duty fleetsare very fragmented 38 and related operations are still not optimised with advanced applications.Freight optimisation could also be developed through <strong>in</strong>tegration of other functionalities,such as <strong>in</strong>creased load factors and better schedul<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>tegrated <strong>in</strong>to fleet management systems.Load factor optimisation for duty vehicles, typically lower <strong>in</strong> the return phase, hasroom for improvement. This would require development of web platforms for operators to matchavailable free capacity and demand for transport. ICT would enable optimisation by <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gvehicle occupancy.Freight Logistics could also enable optimisation of the city delivery system, with a directimpact <strong>in</strong> terms of traffic optimisation. Retail supply cha<strong>in</strong>s today are designed by product type,<strong>in</strong>stead of an optimised service by dest<strong>in</strong>ation. In the optimised case, each retailer would only bevisited once and the same logistics operator would deliver all categories of goods.In a well structured system, there would be benefits for everyone <strong>in</strong>volved. The retailerwould be more efficient, as it would only receive one delivery. The logistics operator would37E.g. Luis Simões fleet management system38Portuguese heavy duty fleets are still fragmented, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a reduced <strong>in</strong>vestment capacity per fleet from the operators

Society would benefit from lower traffic related emissions.Overall sav<strong>in</strong>gs estimated for Portugal could reach 1.5MtonCO 2e and 0.6 billion litres offuel, represent<strong>in</strong>g ¤275M of value, ma<strong>in</strong>ly due to a reduction <strong>in</strong> fuel consumption, and also costefficiencies for logistics operators.Driver Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gThis <strong>in</strong>itiative has proven to have a potential consumption reduction of up to 15% bytra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g drivers to adopt a more eco-friendly attitude. However, tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account the profile ofPortuguese drivers, the estimated impact would be about 1.1MtonCO 2e, given a more conservativeestimate. This <strong>in</strong>itiative could be worth ¤227M <strong>in</strong> terms of direct CO 2and fuel value.Compared to other <strong>in</strong>itiatives, ICT <strong>in</strong>volvement <strong>in</strong> this <strong>in</strong>itiative would not be very<strong>in</strong>tense. Simulation technologies could be developed to allow tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g sessions for not onlyprofessional drivers, but the whole of society. Monitor<strong>in</strong>g and visualisation applications wouldenable drivers to track their own behaviour and adopt a smoother style.VirtualisationThe virtualisation of different tasks can avoid a significant amount of travel. Manyapplications, all of them based on ICT, could have an important impact <strong>in</strong> transportation besidesthe dematerialisation itself.Lead<strong>in</strong>g companies are start<strong>in</strong>g to promote tele-work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> spite of the exist<strong>in</strong>g culturalbarriers.Videoconferenc<strong>in</strong>g, for <strong>in</strong>stance, is considered to potential for reduction of up to22MtonCO 2e <strong>in</strong> Europe, by avoid<strong>in</strong>g up to 20% of bus<strong>in</strong>ess travel. In fact, bus<strong>in</strong>ess travel could bereplaced <strong>in</strong> many occasions by ICT-enabled applications that reduce transportation dependency.Another area with significant <strong>in</strong>terest is the Portuguese e-government strategy. The<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g availability of services that can be performed onl<strong>in</strong>e helps reduce vehicle travelsrelated to such services, as well as the pure dematerialisation of physical support. Details ofdematerialisation effects on physical purchases is detailed below <strong>in</strong> the Residential/Servicessection.The overall virtualisation impact could reach 0.6MtonCO 2e reduction, assum<strong>in</strong>g Portugalaligns with European average travel reduction by 2020.IntermodalityIntermodality should be considered for both freight and passengers. In both cases, ICTcould have significant <strong>in</strong>volvement – on the freight side, technologies can be used to optimisetransportation costs tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account available options <strong>in</strong> real time and to track freight paths


SMART Portugal 2020: Reduc<strong>in</strong>g Emissionsand Increas<strong>in</strong>g Energy Efficiency through ICTthrough devices such as RFID; on the passenger side, the use of ICT can support the developmentof personal travel systems, allow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dividuals to assess mobility options <strong>in</strong> real time.On the freight side, the major obstacle <strong>in</strong> the Portuguese market is the low quality ofservice that is currently offered by less emitt<strong>in</strong>g methods. The most considered alternative is rail,as emissions can be reduced by up to 65%. However, efficient transportation of goods by tra<strong>in</strong> hasa m<strong>in</strong>imum distance requirement, on top of schedul<strong>in</strong>g flexibility for charg<strong>in</strong>g procedures.On the passenger side, reduction targets can be met by a shift from road to tra<strong>in</strong>. Thetargets identified by the PNAC 2006 39 seem achievable and have been discussed with <strong>in</strong>dustryexperts. Much of this is likely to be due to an <strong>in</strong>creased use of underground railways (Metro) <strong>in</strong>urban areas.A total reduction of 0.5MtonCO 2e could be achieved with fuel sav<strong>in</strong>gs totall<strong>in</strong>g up to 0.2billion litres.Electric Car EnablersThe electric car is relevant whenever discuss<strong>in</strong>g the future of transportation. However,technological maturity has not yet been reached and full deployment of this technology <strong>in</strong> carfleets would require several structural changes to <strong>in</strong>frastructure.The ma<strong>in</strong> change required would come from manag<strong>in</strong>g the load on the electric gridthat would come with mass adoption. Some vehicles are already equipped with simple charg<strong>in</strong>gsystems, but the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> electricity demand <strong>in</strong> peak hours (typically by 18h-21h, when peoplearrive home) would exceed generation capacity. Therefore, such penetrations implicitly require thepresence of SMART Grids for simplicity and comfort of use.Electric eng<strong>in</strong>es are still be<strong>in</strong>g demonstrated and their reliability is still to be proven;therefore, the penetration of this technology among car fleets by 2020 is estimated to rangefrom 1% to 5%, follow<strong>in</strong>g expert estimates for the Portuguese market. In order for estimates tobe conservative, this <strong>report</strong> considered a penetration of 3% <strong>in</strong> the passenger car fleet by 2020.However, more ambitious scenarios have been discussed dur<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>terview<strong>in</strong>g phase, with moreambitious projections po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g 10 to 12% of car fleets penetration.Electric cars are not emissions-free; their fuel, electricity, is responsible for emissionsdur<strong>in</strong>g generation.

Pilot projects throughout the EU, and particularly <strong>in</strong> Portugal,<strong>in</strong>dicate sav<strong>in</strong>gs potential of ~30% <strong>in</strong> all build<strong>in</strong>gs by us<strong>in</strong>g ICT to create, and renovate, greenbuild<strong>in</strong>gs. Reduction potential of 15-20% were identified and realised, even <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs withenergy efficiency measures already <strong>in</strong> place. ICT plays a central role <strong>in</strong> achiev<strong>in</strong>g this potential:• Energy efficient build<strong>in</strong>g design, through simulation and modell<strong>in</strong>g,• Implement<strong>in</strong>g energy efficient home equipment (e.g. Intelligent equipment that activelyoptimises energy consumption levels),• Constant monitor<strong>in</strong>g of equipment consumption levels,• Adapt<strong>in</strong>g equipment consumption accord<strong>in</strong>g to a need or occupancy basis,• Intelligent and variable motor systems <strong>in</strong> heat<strong>in</strong>g and cool<strong>in</strong>g.The BAU scenario considers a 10% energy efficiency improvement <strong>in</strong> Residential andServices, which, <strong>in</strong> the absence of a specific <strong>in</strong>itiative to foster <strong>in</strong>telligent build<strong>in</strong>g management,will come mostly from replacement of tungsten lamps for low consumption light<strong>in</strong>g and othernon-ICT related measures. These measures reduce emissions by lower<strong>in</strong>g the amount of energyrequired for light<strong>in</strong>g or climate control. The SMART scenario considers an <strong>in</strong>cremental energyefficiency improvement of up to 25%. This potential equals 1.9MtonCO 2e, or 5.6TWh, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>a f<strong>in</strong>ancial potential of approximately ¤410M.Process dematerialisation could br<strong>in</strong>g significant reductions <strong>in</strong> consumption of physical

Indeed, as mentioned above, e-government services are an example where physicalsupports are avoided, but other situations can follow the same path.Dematerialisation is only possible due to an <strong>in</strong>creased penetration of broadband servicesand PC’s <strong>in</strong> the home, and allows many services to be moved onl<strong>in</strong>e, with important effects on theemissions profile for the average citizen. Availability of on-l<strong>in</strong>e services comb<strong>in</strong>ed with widespreadbroadband penetration elim<strong>in</strong>ates the need for• Purchase of physical enterta<strong>in</strong>ment media, or <strong>in</strong> the near future, even of paper (booksor newspapers),• Paper based communication, a reality already felt today as most work relatedcommunication goes onl<strong>in</strong>e,• Many of the trips made by citizens to banks, public entities, supermarkets, or evenwork.Replac<strong>in</strong>g all media purchases with onl<strong>in</strong>e content could have an impact of approximately20ktonCO 2e <strong>in</strong> Portugal. Likewise, avoid<strong>in</strong>g 25% of paper usage could avoid a further 410ktonCO 2eper year. The total dematerialisation opportunity represents f<strong>in</strong>ancial sav<strong>in</strong>gs of ¤0.15M per year<strong>in</strong> avoided CO 2e costs. Also, as previously calculated <strong>in</strong> the Virtualisation <strong>in</strong>itiative <strong>in</strong> Transport,approximately 0.6MtonCO 2e can be avoided due to tele-presence or tele-work<strong>in</strong>g.It is estimated that each new adult broadband user <strong>in</strong> Portugal enables a sav<strong>in</strong>g of ~290kgCO 2per year. This number does not affect the f<strong>in</strong>al conclusion s<strong>in</strong>ce it is assumed that, by 2020,broadband penetration will have reached its saturation po<strong>in</strong>t, but the speed with which accessspreads does have an impact on how fast reductions are realised.The total potential reduction for the residential and services sector, <strong>in</strong> CO 2emissions,represents up to 2.36MtonCO 2e with f<strong>in</strong>ancial sav<strong>in</strong>gs of 426M¤.

A new urban mobility paradigm would require a realisticregulatory framework, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g citizens’ responsibility over emissions. Mobility managementshould use ICT platforms to <strong>in</strong>crease alternative transportation offers and reduce private car use.
