Reducing Emissions
Climate change is one of the world’s most pressing challenges. To help address it, we’re challenging ourselves to be carbon neutral across our global operations by 2035. We’ve set big goals and believe technology can play a role in reducing emissions.
Our Goal
We will achieve carbon neutrality by eliminating Scope 1 and 2 emissions through improved energy efficiency and network virtualization efforts, moving to a low-emissions fleet, scaling renewable energy capacity, and expanding sustainable film and TV production at WarnerMedia. As part of our efforts to address climate change, we are making progress on our goal to enable carbon savings 10 times the footprint of our operations by 2025. We work with our customers to deploy technology that can help reduce GHG emissions, save water and more. We’re highlighting some of these stories in our 10x case study series.
FEATURED CASE STUDY:
Soiltech Sensor
Soiltech uses AT&T Internet of Things connectivity to optimize food from soil to storage, helping increase yield, reduce waste and lower emissions.
ALL CASE STUDIES
Energy-Efficient Frozen Food with Lineage Logistics®
Using AT&T Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to collect temperature data, plus using a monitoring and analytics platform from ndustrial.io, enables Lineage Logistics to manage its cooling operations, reduce costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
AT&T Connected Infrastructure
OmniMetrix uses AT&T Internet of Things (IoT) to enable customers to monitor the condition of their steel pipelines to help reduce the time, fuel and costs associated with traveling to inspections.
AT&T Connected Pallets
Connected pallets have the potential to avoid 640 metric tons of CO2e for every 1 million pallet trips.
Scale Access to Electric Vehicle Charging Stations with ChargePoint
AT&T’s IoT connectivity enables the remote control and monitoring of ChargePoint’s network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, creating an integrated EV charging experience for businesses and drivers.
Reducing Water Consumption with Lowe’s & HydroPoint
An AT&T and HydroPoint® smart irrigation solution at nearly 1,000 Lowe’s stores is saving about 650 million gallons of water a year.
AT&T Video Optimizer
AT&T Video Optimizer helps developers improve viewers' mobile app and video experience while lowering energy usage and emissions.
Food Waste into Energy with Emerson
Increased scalability, thanks to AT&T Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, means more food waste is being converted into clean energy and fertilizer by Emerson’s Grind2Energy solution.
Smart Farming with Precision King
Connected water-level sensors and pumps helped rice farmers reduce water use by 60% and realize greenhouse gas emissions savings.
Empowering Farmers with AT&T IoT and WaterBit
AT&T and WaterBit are helping Devine Organics find innovative solutions to conserve water and grow more asparagus in California.
AT&T Enterprise Building Management Systems (EBMS)
As of the end of 2017, 27,000 pieces of AT&T building equipment in AT&T buildings across 250 cities were reducing electricity expenses by about $925,000.
AT&T Efficiency-as-a-Service (EaaS)
In 2017 alone, this program enabled AT&T to save almost $20 million on electricity bills and realize carbon dioxide emissions savings equivalent to taking 21,000 cars off the road.
AT&T Connected Drones
If water utilities joined drones and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) with secure AT&T Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and a video analysis platform, they could keep their tanks in service, reduce inspection time, and avoid wasted water while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
AT&T FlexWareSM
AT&T FlexWareSM helps reduce space, electricity usage and emissions by consolidating networking functions onto a single device. 3,500 FlexWare devices can enable annual energy savings of almost 4 million kWh. That’s like not using approximately 250,000 gallons of gasoline.
