Assessment of the energy footprint of digital actions and services
Resilio was commissioned, jointly with Ramboll, to assess the environmental footprint of 10 day-to-day behaviors. We thus worked closely with DG ENER and DG CNECT from the EU Commission to elaborate a simplified Life Cycle Assessment model. As as result, we managed to quantify the energy consumption as well as the environmental impact of:
Digitalisation is deeply embedded in Dutch society and economy, with near-universal internet access and the Netherlands serving as a primary European connectivity hub due to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX).
While this digital maturity drives significant social and economic benefits, it generates substantial environmental pressures.
TNO and Resilio have studied these environmental pressures, the main drivers of this environmental impact and potential interventions and their effects.
