Low carbon solutions
“ Corning’s strength in developing and manufacturing LCD glass substrates, combined with its expertise in materials science and light management, positions Corning to develop thin-film photovoltaic solutions, accelerating the way the world collects and uses solar energy. We have shown that our specialty glass for thin-film photovoltaics can convert sunlight to energy more efficiently than the glass currently used. Last fall we reached a major milestone when we achieved a record-breaking conversion rate of 11.9 percent in lab trials on thin-film technology known as silicon tandem.”
EMC
“ EMC was the first in the industry to use Enterprise Flash solid state drives (SSDs) that offer efficiency in high-performance computing, using up to 97.7% less energy in operations per second than FC/SAS hard drives and 38% less energy per terabyte of data stored. High-capacity/low speed SATA hard disk drives use significantly less power than higher speed FC/SAS drives and have up to four times the storage capacity. SATA type drives can use up to 96% less energy per terabyte stored.”

“ A recent study shows that many people have already replaced their separate devices with a smartphone: 17% have replaced their car navigator, 12 % have replaced their music player, 7% have replaced their camera, 6% have replaced their video camera, 3% have replaced their game console. This means that the 1,454 people who participated in the study have saved over 43,000 kg of CO2

associated with film materials and water and chemicals that would have been used for film development.”
“ Freecycling is an example of an activity that is chiefly coordinated on Yahoo! Groups. Freecycling enables participants to locate and acquire products for re-use in their community thus avoiding the imbedded cost of manufacture for buying a new product, and postponing the landfilling of that product by extending its life.
