Trends in worldwide ICT electricity consumption from 2007 to 2012 (2014, methodology): “In the same year, some of the co-authors of this current paper also published a study [5] to estimate the worldwide electricity use and embodied energy associated with ICT equipment and services.”
Minimizing ISP Network Energy Cost: Formulation and Solutions (2012, background): “I. INTRODUCTION T HE STEADILY rising energy cost and the need to reduce the global greenhouse (such as CO ) gas emission to protect our environment have turned energy ef.ciency into one of the primary technological challenges of our century [1].”
Power consumption in telecommunication networks: overview and reduction strategies (2011, background): “A significant part of these emissions, about one sixth, is attributed to telecommunication networks [1].”
Smart Cities and Green Growth: Outsourcing Democratic and Environmental Resilience to the Global Technology Sector (2014, background): “The total energy demand required for the operation of ICT equipment has been estimated to more than double from 168 GW in 2008 to 430 GW in 2020 by Pickavet et al (2008, page 3).”
On Global Electricity Usage of Communication Technology: Trends to 2030 (2015, background): “Numerous studies in the area of estimating the global or national electricity and greenhouse gas (GHG) footprints of the entire CT Sector have been carried out, mainly between 2008 and 2014 [21,22,37–55].”
Assessing ICT global emissions footprint: Trends to 2040 & recommendations (2018, methodology): “Insofar as the infrastructural side is concerned, an earlier study by Pickavet et al. found that Communication Networks and Data Centers would continue to grow through 2020 by 12%, while PCs would grow at 5.2% (Pickavet et al., 2008a).”
