Head of INCOM project Niels Hersoug, gives an interview to Jyllands-Posten newspaper on digital companies and how they can turn green and combat the climate change.   All industries become more IT intensive and organizations are using digital technologies that actually both advance their business objectives and sustain the environment. “The digital companies are helping to drive forward the green agenda, and the more digital companies the more efficient society”, says Niels Hersoug.   Today, the internet compensates its own CO2 emission by a factor of 1.5 meaning if you emit a ton of CO2 through your internet consumption, then elsewhere in society emission drops with 1.5 tonnes.   Read the Danish interview with Niels Hersoug here written by Simon Kudal, January 16, 2022 / Jyllands-Posten / Tænk Grønt.  ]]>Fri, 28 Jan 2022 10:48:29 +0200https://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=be4b7ca8-ead6-4577-89eb-4e5ddaf5d7achttps://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=62dc8ca9-e142-4e31-94e2-6df19963fb7e
Climate Impact of NFT Art   In the art world, NFT (non-fungible token) has become mainstream and is commonly used as a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger that makes it possible to sell artwork to a single owner – even though everyone else can still share the art.   In terms of climate change the digital certificate NFT affects the global warming to a great extent. Cryptocurrency, which is primarily used to trade artwork, used approx. 100 TWh in 2021 and emitted approx. 48 million tonnes of Co2, equivalent to 3 times as much electricity as we use throughout Denmark in one year.   Bitcoin's annualized footprint in electricity consumption reached an all-time high in 2021 and the impact factor increased by 10 in the last 3 years.   On December 29, 2021 Prof. Leif K. Oxenløwe was interviewed by DR P1 Kulturen about NFT’s deep impact of climate change.

The conference is held September 5 at Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center, Copenhagen with DIFO and the Danish Business Authority as hosts.    The day is filled with interesting issues and we ask, among other things, whether you have thought about your digital professional identity? How to talk about ethics in AI? How do we exploit the potential of the public data? And how the tech giants should be regulated? How should we ethically relate to all the new AI products? And how to protect one's online identity? Can we empower our youth in their use of social media?    During the conference, INCOM Steering Committee Chairman and Prime Investigator Prof. Leif K. Oxenløwe will join the panel debate ‘The Improving Internet Sustainability’.   The conference is free and open to all. You can sign up here and there is a limited number of seats.   See the entire programme here (in Danish). ]]>Thu, 22 Aug 2019 15:21:38 +0200https://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=20693cd7-03e0-44e7-a20c-d82932ec4b0bhttps://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=0cba4fa4-87a8-488c-a60e-5b5fbd07bbe8

“If you as a private consumer buy organic milk, the market mechanisms will ensure that more organic milk gradually goes on the grocery shelves at the supermarket. Moreover, if people suddenly start dropping Netflix, Netflix might start thinking about the source from where they get their power, so it cannot hurt. But the greatest effort should be in research and development of better technologies”, says DTU Fotonik Professor Leif, K.

The project INCOM has received the first delivery in form of a donation. The donation is the transmission equipment used in the previous version of the National Research and Education network. The donation is from DeiC.   “We are going to use the equipment to build a test-network mimicking the real world making it possible to install the new products and services developed by INCOM, in a network very much like the real live network. This will make it possible for the INCOM partners much better to be able to test and measure the performance of the products and services, compared to a true laboratory setup”, says Senior Project Manager Niels Hersoug from DTU Fotonik.   The products and services to be tested in the network could be advanced secure IoT (Internet of Things) services, secure cloud storage services, novel energy efficient optical transmission techniques in the access and datacenter networks, efficient CPU offload in Open Virtual Switches etc.   INCOM is a three-year, EUR 13,4 million (DKK 100 million) Grand Solutions project, which will create new solutions for the next generation of communications infrastructure.   INCOM has received EUR 8 million from Innovation Fund Denmark and is bringing together DTU, Aarhus University, and twelve Danish companies.   Read more here]]>Fri, 08 Mar 2019 14:39:00 +0200https://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=c02d17d2-aac3-47f1-8c2f-4c3ec7a23b6ahttps://incom.dtu.dk/news/nyhed?id=1a9162fe-da0f-4a01-b93b-9842bd6b4bb4
