For the essay on "Energy Saving and Emission Reduction, Low-carbon Life", please.
With the end of the Copenhagen World Climate Conference held on June 5438+February 19, 2009, it clearly indicates that the low-carbon era has come, and all countries and enterprises will soon be involved in this low-carbon trend. At the two sessions in March, low carbon, energy saving and environmental protection also became one of the hot topics for delegates.
Low carbon economy is one of the most popular words in recent years. Just a few years ago, many people may have never heard of the term "low-carbon economy", but now, this term is everywhere, even the aunt of the neighbor will say it. The so-called low-carbon economy is a green economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Its core is to promote the development and application of energy efficiency improvement technology, energy saving technology, renewable energy technology and greenhouse gas emission reduction technology, and to promote the transformation of the whole social economy to the mode of high energy efficiency, low energy consumption and low carbon emission.
At present, many countries in the world, including China, are actively developing low-carbon economy and have set off a low-carbon economic revolution. Taking China as an example, we are not only vigorously adjusting the industrial structure of the energy industry, increasing the proportion of emerging energy sources such as wind power generation, solar power generation and nuclear power generation, but also reducing the proportion of thermal power generation, so as to make the energy industry develop in the direction of low carbon and non-carbonization. We also actively develop low-carbon new materials, life sciences, biomedicine, information networks, space ocean development and geological exploration, and strive to reduce carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40% in 2020 compared with 2005.
Draw a perfect carbon footprint
In low-carbon economy, enterprises play a decisive role. This is because compared with individuals, enterprises undoubtedly have greater energy consumption and carbon emissions. At the same time, as individuals, most of the day is spent in enterprises, and their energy consumption and carbon emissions are also closely related to their enterprises. Therefore, in order to actively participate in the low-carbon economy, enterprises should start from me, fulfill their civic responsibilities, pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection from all aspects of enterprises, and draw a clear carbon footprint.
The easiest thing to do is that enterprises can control the air conditioning temperature (not too low in summer and not too high in winter) according to national requirements, and adopt energy-saving lamps and other measures to achieve the effect of energy saving and emission reduction. Further, IT is to strengthen the monitoring of carbon footprint of IT products. With the continuous improvement of office automation and informatization, enterprises are increasingly dependent on IT products, and there are more and more IT equipment. If you look around, IT is not difficult to find that employees in enterprises spend most of their time using various IT equipment (such as computers, printers, networks and other products), and enterprises must also pay attention to the important role of these IT products in energy conservation and emission reduction.
In fact, with the widespread popularity of computers and other products in enterprises, the carbon emissions of these products are also rising in the whole carbon emissions-data show that the carbon emissions of ICT industry (information and communication technology industry, including IT industry and communication industry) were 530 million tons in 2002, and this figure will soon climb to 65.438+0.43 billion tons in 2020, accounting for 4% of the total carbon emissions. This is undoubtedly a huge number. As an enterprise, we must choose those green and energy-saving IT products and use advanced information technology to reduce energy consumption.
For example, enterprises can choose computers or servers with high overall performance-to-power ratio to reduce overall power consumption. At the same time, more consideration should be given to similar computer and server products with power conversion efficiency over 90%, which can perfectly and effectively reduce power consumption. Alternatively, enterprises can use laptops instead of desktops, thus reducing overall power consumption.
In the construction of enterprise network environment, enterprises can also make it greener through various strategies. For example, enterprises can use wireless LAN instead of wired LAN, which can reduce cables, energy consumption and environmental pollution. More importantly, enterprises should pay attention to the choice of green products when choosing network equipment-compared with PC, most network equipment such as switches and routers need to run 24 hours, which requires more attention to the green energy-saving characteristics of products. Therefore, the adoption of HP ProCurve series network products with high energy efficiency and low heat dissipation will greatly reduce energy consumption and power cost, greatly improve the return on investment and depict a perfect carbon footprint. For example, HP ProCurve network products have variable speed cooling fans for efficient cooling. The distributed computing structure can be adjusted according to the deployment scale of switches, thus optimizing power consumption; Support remote management of each port, and also reduce power consumption and energy costs; Up to 55 pounds
