With the announceme of Samsung Electronics, this Korean company, in cooperation with the Carbon Trust Institute, joins the project of measuring the carbon effects of devices connected to the Iernet.
In line with its commitme to protect the environme and reduce the effects of climate change, Samsung Electronics announced a joi collaboration with the Carbon Trust and other leading companies in the field of technology. The purpose of this collaboration is to develop and impleme new methods to accurately measure the amou of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the consumption of electronic devices connected to the Iernet and, finally, to significaly reduce these emissions during the life cycle of products. This action is considered an importa step towards the realization of the sustainable developme and social responsibility goals of Samsung.
Cooperation between Samsung and Carbon Trust to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
The implemeation of this method is an importa step in Samsung’s active participation in the global initiative “decarbonization of the use of connected devices”. This innovative plan, which was achieved in collaboration with leading companies in the field of technology, including Carbon Trust, Amazon, Microsoft and Sky, is designed with the aim of significaly reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by energy consumption during the life cycle of electronic products and the Iernet of Things.
The aforemeioned organizations have focused on significaly reducing carbon emissions during the use of devices; Because this stage usually accous for the largest coribution to the overall carbon emissions of a product during its life cycle. According to global estimates, connected devices consume more than 500 terawatt hours of energy annually, which is almost equal to the total annual energy consumption of a coury like France. Therefore, a deep understanding of the environmeal effects of products, the accurate calculation of carbon emissions due to the use of devices and finding innovative solutions to reduce these emissions are considered as the main priority of the technology industry.
This innovative solution provides companies with a powerful tool to calculate and accurately report the amou of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the activity of their products by using the data collected from the devices available to customers. By providing accurate and fact-based data, this method replaces the traditional methods based on lifetime predictions and will lead to a significa improveme in reporting accuracy. Also, companies will be able to quaitatively measure and docume the reduction of carbon emissions resulting from the implemeation of this strategy using this tool.
Preparing an annual report on the amou of carbon emissions caused by the use of devices and providing clear reports regarding the measures taken to reduce these emissions, while increasing transparency in relation to consumers, a strong inceive for companies to coinuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle of products. provides The standardization and high accuracy of the data preseed in these reports enables companies to inve and impleme innovative solutions to reduce the environmeal effects of products and achieve sustainable developme goals by accurately ideifying the strengths and weaknesses of their products.
Samsung’s active participation in the implemeation of the new DUCD method is a proof of the group’s coinuous commitme to the developme and implemeation of innovative solutions to increase energy efficiency and reduce the environmeal impact of products. This valuable innovation has appeared in the SmartThings Energy iellige platform, which allows users to monitor and manage their energy consumption and make more informed decisions by using accurate and up-to-date data. The AI Energy Mode feature built io this platform, by analyzing energy consumption patterns and electricity rates, helps users to choose the most optimal consumption method and, as a result, achieve significa energy savings. .
Emphasizing the importance of this issue, Inhee Chang, Executive Vice Preside of Samsung’s Sustainability Ceer, stated that a significa share of the greenhouse gas emissions of our products during their life cycle is related to the use phase of the devices. Therefore, accurate measureme of these emissions is the main key to its manageme and reduction. In Samsung company, empowering consumers to make informed decisions in the field of energy saving is considered as one of the main pillars of the strategy to deal with climate change. He added that we believe that the new DUCD method provides an efficie tool for informing consumers about the benefits of the SmartThings platform and its artificial ielligence energy mode capabilities in managing and reducing the energy consumption of connected devices.
Felix Pritjan, the senior advisor of the Carbon Trust Institute, also poied to the increasing spread of communication between connected devices in everyday life, and emphasized the importance of gathering key players in the technology industry to address the issue of carbon emissions caused by the use of devices. He believes that this cooperation has led to the developme of a new and improved approach in calculating and accurately reporting the amou of carbon emissions, as well as its significa reduction. According to Pritjan, this valuable achieveme will provide a solid platform for conducting more research and wider efforts in order to achieve the goal of decarbonization in this complex and challenging field.
Carbon Trust is recognized as a global climate change consulting firm working to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon future. With more than two decades of experience leading climate action, the institute has established extensive partnerships with businesses, governmes and financial institutions around the world. The efficie experts of Carbon Trust, using their knowledge and experience, have helped more than 200 organizations in setting goals based on scieific knowledge and more than three thousand organizations and cities in five coines of the world on the way to achieving the goal of significaly reducing gas emissions. Greenhouse and Nile have led to a future with zero carbon emissions.
