PHILPS: Global LED replacement tide to save more than 1 trillion and 900 billion yuan in 2030

At the COP21 meeting of the global climate conference in Paris, France, PHILPS issued a report on the lighting, said the replacement of LED lighting will be able to bring unprecedented global large-scale energy efficiency.

This research report pointed out that the future revolution "LED white paper" all lighting will replace LED lights, and to reduce the carbon emissions of great help, can reduce about 1 billion 400 million tons in 2030 (Megaton), equivalent to save 272 billion euros (1 trillion and 925 billion 923 million 200 thousand yuan).

Lighting alone accounts for 19% of global electricity consumption, and is equivalent to about 6% of global carbon emissions. As a result, the global use of energy-efficient lighting technology such as LED will be able to help carbon reduction.

But such a move must be accelerated, and PHILPS estimates that in 2030, with an explosion of population growth, urbanisation and rising quality of life, it will require an additional 35% lighting in the year to come in 2006. And in 2006 it is the first time PHILPS make a clarion call, remind replacement of energy-saving lamps. Since then, lighting is an important contributing factor in reducing carbon footprint.

The Climate Group has long been promoting the use of LED street lights, because this is one of the fastest and most effective way. Not only can reduce carbon emissions can save a lot of money. PHILPS estimates that all outdoor lighting will be replaced by the LED will be able to prevent 1.1 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and in 2030 before the province of 21 billion euros (RMB 148 billion 692 million 600 thousand).

But to achieve this change goals, governments and promotion policies for the lowest energy consumption and non traditional energy-saving lamp exit mechanism is very important, in addition to encourage financial institutions to help provide funding for this kind of plan is important.

At the same time, communicate with the general public is not only the quality of high quality energy-saving features is also very important. Modern lighting solutions, such as LED lights can help create a more attractive, more suitable for use in the city and create a more attractive and vibrant living environment.

Accelerate the pace of the replacement of existing infrastructure, LED lighting will be an important key.

In the past 2 years, The Climate Group has been with PHILPS lighting Monaco and Prince Edward II Foundation (Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation) cooperation, global city and municipal units of advisory services, to find out the difficulties encountered during reloading.

The results of these initial studies are published in the Switch (The Big), which, and Climate Week NYC has called on the global city to seek replacement LED light program, before 2025 to complete the facelift.
