9 Green IT and Sustainable Development Green Industry - A new approach for Sustainable Industrial Development

10 Opportunities from green IT New Business Green Business Eco-products Organic products Eco services Eco-tourism New market Green market Market for Eco-products and services New Job Green Job New jobs in plants, businesses and services

11 The temporal and spatial dilemma of Green IT* Space Developing countries Core Developed countries Current generation Future generation Time Natural resource (*) Source: Nguyen Thanh Tuyen (2010) Waste Knowledge economy and Sustainable Green IT development. Berlin: De Gruyter Saur.

12 International Cooperation in Green IT between Core and Peripheral countries Developing countries Developed countries Green IT

13 Country Background (2009) Area: 329,560 sq km Population: 85.8 million Literacy: 90.3% GDP: $90.88 billion GDP Growth rate: 6.23% Language: Vietnamese

14 Climate Change and its impacts on Vietnam Vietnam is one of the countries in the world that are most vulnerable by climate change, because the country has more than 3000 islands, 3260km seashore and 1million km2 territorial waters. Forecast of sea level rise: to 2050 increase 33 cm, to 2100 increase 1m. In case of sea level to raise 1 meter, it s impacts on 40% agriculture area, 90% population of Mekong Delta and GDP will be decrease 10%. According to Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) in the last 50 years average temperature in Vietnam increased 0,7 deg C and sea level raised about 20 cm.

16 Rapid Increase Waste and E-Waste

17 Energy Consumption in Vietnam Sector Coal Petroleum Products Natural Gas Total Fuel Electricity Total Industry Transportation Commercial, Public Services, Residential Total

18 Energy Consumption in Vietnam Industrial and industry consumers are two dominant electricity use sectors in Vietnam, with industry consuming 48% of the total. Commercial, Public (buildings) and Residential sector electricity use was reported at 51%. In Vietnam the main industries uses 15%-50%; the average building uses at last 25% energy more than needed. Electricity consumption for lighting is 25.3%. Electricity demand is forecast to be increasing much higher than the supply. ( Source: MOIT)

19 Promotion of Energy Saving Label Launch by Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) For all of consumer electronic and home appliance products Beginning in 2013 and valid from 1/1/2015

20 Government Activities 1. In the last years, Vietnam Government ratify : - Mitigation and Adaptation of climate change National Program - Energy Conservation and Efficiency Program (EECP) - Cleaner Production Strategy in Industry up to Circular on limits of toxic proportions in electronic products 2. Create policies, incentives for Green IT initiatives: - Encourage production and consumption of eco-products; - Promote application and transfer of environmentally sound technologies, low GHG emissions, low carbon.

21 Green IT Application 1. Use IT solution and Embedded System for energy saving in manufacturing enterprises. 2. Use Efficient Lighting Control System in Public Lighting and buildings. 3. Use sensors ( Infra red detector, movement detector, daylight sensor ) and Control system in buildings and family houses 4. Country wide change CRT monitor with LCD monitor; light bulb with energy saving lamp.

22 E-Waste Treatment E-waste increase rapidly E-waste recycling is concentrated in the informal sector No organized collection system prevails Operations are mostly illegal, manual and processes are highly polluting
