Cov ntsiab lus ntawm kev nkag siab

Lub chaw cov ntaub ntawv tau dhau los ua ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm cov tuam txhab kev tsim kho vaj tse raws li ntau lub lag luam tam sim no siv zog los tsim lawv tus kheej ua cov thawj coj hauv kev lag luam hauv kev lag luam cov ntaub ntawv nce ntxiv. Txawm li cas los xij, cov chaw no feem ntau siv hluav taws xob ntau, ua rau ntau lub tuam txhab nrhiav txoj hauv kev los txo kev siv hluav taws xob. Cov kev ntsuas no suav nrog kev hloov chaw cov ntaub ntawv mus rau qhov chaw txias dua thiab siv Is Taws Nem ntawm Yam (IoT) txhawm rau taug qab emissions.

Cov ntsiab lus digital emissions

Kev nce nrov ntawm huab-raws li kev siv thiab kev pabcuam (piv txwv li, Software-as-a-Service thiab Infrastructure-as-a-Service) tau ua rau tsim cov ntaub ntawv loj heev uas khiav cov supercomputers. Cov chaw cov ntaub ntawv no yuav tsum ua haujlwm 24/7 thiab suav nrog cov phiaj xwm xwm txheej ceev kom ua tiav lawv cov tuam txhab cov kev xav tau siab.

Cov chaw zov me nyuam cov ntaub ntawv yog ib feem ntawm ib tug dav sociotechnical system ua ntau ecologically puas. Kwv yees li 10 feem pua ​​​​ntawm lub ntiaj teb kev xav tau hluav taws xob los ntawm Is Taws Nem thiab cov kev pabcuam online. Los ntawm 2030, nws tau kwv yees tias cov kev pabcuam online thiab cov khoom siv yuav suav txog 20 feem pua ​​​​ntawm kev siv hluav taws xob thoob ntiaj teb. Qhov kev loj hlob no tsis muaj kev ruaj ntseg thiab ua rau muaj kev ruaj ntseg ntawm lub zog thiab kev txo qis carbon emissions.

Qee cov kws tshaj lij ntseeg tias tsis muaj cov cai tswjfwm txaus los saib xyuas cov emissions digital. Thiab txawm hais tias tech titans Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, thiab Facebook tau cog lus tias yuav siv 100 feem pua ​​​​ntawm lub zog tauj dua tshiab, lawv tsis raug yuam kom ua raws li lawv cov lus cog tseg. Piv txwv li, Greenpeace thuam Amazon hauv 2019 rau tsis ua raws li nws lub hom phiaj los txo kev lag luam los ntawm kev lag luam roj fossil. 

Kev cuam tshuam

Raws li qhov tshwm sim ntawm kev nce nyiaj txiag thiab ib puag ncig cov nqi ntawm cov chaw zov me nyuam, cov tsev kawm qib siab thiab cov tuam txhab thev naus laus zis tau tsim cov txheej txheem digital ntau dua. Stanford University tab tom saib ua kev kawm tshuab "ntsuab" nrog tsawg zog-intensive txoj kev thiab kev cob qhia. Lub caij no, Google thiab Facebook tab tom tsim cov chaw khaws ntaub ntawv hauv thaj chaw uas muaj lub caij ntuj no hnyav, qhov chaw ib puag ncig muab cua txias rau cov khoom siv IT. Cov tuam txhab no tseem tab tom txiav txim siab ntau lub zog siv computer chips. Piv txwv li, cov kws tshawb fawb tau tshawb pom tias neural network-specific designs yuav ua tau tsib zaug ntau zog-npaum thaum qhia ib tug algorithm tshaj siv chips optimized rau graphics ua.

Lub caij no, ntau qhov kev pib ua lag luam tau cog qoob loo los pab cov tuam txhab tswj hwm digital emissions los ntawm ntau yam cuab yeej thiab kev daws teeb meem. Ib qho kev daws teeb meem yog IoT emissions nrhiav. IoT thev naus laus zis uas tuaj yeem ntes GHG emissions tau txais kev saib xyuas los ntawm cov tub ua lag luam vim lawv paub txog lub peev xwm rau cov thev naus laus zis los muab cov ntaub ntawv raug thiab granular. Piv txwv li, Project Canary, lub tuam txhab Denver-based data analytics firm muab IoT-raws li kev soj ntsuam cov pa hluav taws xob txuas ntxiv, tau nce USD $ 111 lab hauv kev pab nyiaj thaum Lub Ob Hlis 2022. 

Lwm cov cuab yeej tswj hwm cov pa hluav taws xob digital yog kev siv hluav taws xob txuas ntxiv dua tshiab. Lub kaw lus taug qab cov ntaub ntawv hluav taws xob ntsuab sau thiab siv tau, xws li tau txais los ntawm daim ntawv pov thawj lub zog thiab daim ntawv pov thawj hluav taws xob tauj dua tshiab. Cov tuam txhab xws li Google thiab Microsoft kuj tau txaus siab rau cov ntawv pov thawj lub zog raws sij hawm uas tso cai rau "24/7 carbon-free zog." 

Kev cuam tshuam ntawm digital emissions

Kev cuam tshuam dav dav ntawm cov emissions digital yuav suav nrog: 

• Ntau lub tuam txhab tsim cov chaw cov ntaub ntawv hauv cheeb tsam es tsis yog cov chaw hauv nruab nrab loj kom txuag hluav taws xob thiab txhawb kev suav ntug.
• Ntau lub teb chaws nyob rau hauv qhov chaw txias tau txais txiaj ntsig ntawm cov chaw zov me nyuam cov ntaub ntawv tsiv teb tsaws chaw rau cov chaw txias dua los txhawb lawv cov kev lag luam hauv zos.
• Kev tshawb fawb ntxiv thiab kev sib tw los tsim lub zog siv hluav taws xob lossis lub tshuab hluav taws xob qis qis.
• Tsoomfwv siv txoj cai lij choj tso tawm digital thiab txhawb nqa cov tuam txhab hauv tebchaws kom txo lawv cov hneev taw digital.
• Ntau qhov kev pib ua lag luam muab cov kev daws teeb meem digital emissions tswj raws li cov tuam txhab yuav tsum tau tshaj tawm lawv cov kev tswj hwm digital emission rau cov neeg ua lag luam muaj txiaj ntsig.
• Kev nqis peev ntau ntxiv hauv kev daws teeb meem hluav taws xob tauj dua tshiab, automation, thiab kev txawj ntse (AI) kom txuag hluav taws xob.

Cov lus nug los xav txog

• Koj lub tuam txhab tswj hwm nws cov emissions digital li cas?
• Yuav ua li cas lwm yam tseem ceeb ntawm tsoom fwv teb chaws cov kev txwv ntawm qhov loj ntawm cov lag luam 'digital emissions?
