High Tech: Low Carbon The role of technology in tackling climate change

Case Studies

Technology and Energy Efficiency: Case Studies These case studies are loosely organised to reflect the structure of our report "High Tech: Low Carbon – the role of technology in tackling climate change". The first section relates to Part I and includes improvements to our own products and services through the three phases of design, manufacture and use. The second section relates to Part II and covers enhancing, enabling and transforming technologies in turn. These categories are not definitive; many technologies apply to more than one category.

Section 1: Improvements to our own products and services
AMD: PowerNow Technology	Processor (chip) efficiency
Eneco: energy conversion chip	Processor (chip) design
Epson: digital printing	Printing technology
Fujitsu: life cycle comparison	Life cycle analysis of desktop and laptop PCs
HP: Dynamic Smart Cooling	Data centre efficiency through better cooling
Nokia: charger alerts	Standby/power supply efficiency
NXP Semiconductors: power converter efficiency	Power supply efficiency
