Hi Hesham,

You may check this report, in case you missed it, for ideas on how to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, in general for the audiovisual sector, but satellite distribution of video may be considered there:

You may be interested in following this IETF group, too:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/green/about

This workshop already happened, but you may get something from there too, about the development of energy neutral devices:

https://6g-conference.dnac.org/2024/en-iot-2024

Considering that most of the CO2 is emitted during a device fabrication (e.g. 79% for laptops, according to Atos), making them last long and being modular and repairable may be the best way to reduce the carbon footprint (and the increasing amount of e-waste).

Regards,

David

I appreciate your input and pointers to publications regarding how to
reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint of satellites network.

Thanks
