Interdisciplinary Research Group 1: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Energy Crisis

The crisis/global threat: The carbon footprint of today's ICT makes up three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The exponential growth of ICT is fast approaching the world's energy production limit. 

Graph showing that ICT needs are fast approaching the world's max energy production.

The Goal: Improve ICT energy efficiency 103-104 X. Using post-complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology to solve the ICT crisis.
