Description
Carbon abatement mechanism
IoT enabled street lighting allows variable levels of lighting depending on the time of day and the extent to which people are nearby.
The carbon saving is achieved through avoiding the use of streetlights when it is not necessary. Lower levels of street lighting may be used in less busy areas.
Street lighting Global average: 10 kgCO 2 e/connection
IoT connection for electric scooters and electric bikes that are used instead of the normal mix of transportation (car, public transport, walking etc.).
Vodafone provides IoT connections for e-vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bikes. Avoided emissions arise from customers that opt to use electric vehicles instead of using cars or some forms of public transport.
Connected E-mobility Global e-bike average: 75 kgCO 2 e/connection Global e-scooter average: 91 kgCO 2 e/connection Global mixed e-mobility average: 78 kgCO 2 e/connection Connected solar panels Global average: 24 kgCO 2 e/SIM
Solar panels connected through SIM cards.
The IoT-enabled network of solar panels communicate if there is a fault and can raise alarm if the system crashes. Having the connected solar panels allows technicians to remotely restart the system without having to travel to the solar park, reducing truck roll. This results in the avoidance of emissions associated with the saved fuel from not having to be at the solar park to restart the system. The devices are refurbished and redistributed (or recycled) at the end of the lease period. The devices ’ lifespan is effectively extended. Avoided emissions are enabled as the devices lifecycle emissions are spread over a greater period of time, and
The DLM Green scheme supplies and manages Vodafone ’ s customers with leased mobile phones and tablets, which are refurbished and resold at the end of the lease. The device leases range from 12-36 months.
