The telecommunications (telecom) industry consists of information transmission by electronic means, such as voice, data, and internet services. The telecom industry currently accounts for approximately 2% of global carbon emissions, however through emission accounting and reduction efforts, the industry has the potential to reduce up to 15% of global carbon emissions. This reduction would equate to roughly 12.1 million gigatons of carbon, showing the significant relationship between the telecom industry and carbon emissions. Reducing emissions proves to be difficult for a multitude of reasons, but most importantly the ever growing population and need for bandwidth causes increased energy consumption which is passed on to the telecom providers. 

The building sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for approximately one third of global GHG emissions. However, this statistic doesn’t encompass all emissions relating to construction, leaving out those included in the manufacturing and transportation of building materials known as embodied emission. In this article we give you all the information you need to approach construction carbon accounting related to embodied emissions.
