WorldDAB factsheet highlights the environmental benefits of DAB

May 11, 2021 radionewsfeeds Comments Off on WorldDAB factsheet highlights the environmental benefits of DAB

As the development of DAB+ digital radio continues to progress, determining the  environmental impact of DAB+ is one of WorldDAB’s key prioritiesWorldDAB has published a factsheet – Understanding the environmental impact of DAB – presenting the findings of multiple recent studies looking into the environmental and economic impact of broadcasting radio via DAB and other platforms.
Focusing on three areas – energy consumption, transmission costs and recycling initiatives – key findings are:

The BBC estimates that DAB radio energy consumption per device hour (distribution and receivers) is lower than for any other platform, i.e. AM, FM, IP or DTV
 Bavarian public broadcaster, Bayerischer Rundfunk, found that broadcasting one service on DAB+ required, on average, only one fifth of the energy required to broadcast one service on FM
Swiss public broadcaster SRG SSR estimates that after FM switch-off 2022-2023 the total energy consumption for broadcast radio distribution via DAB+ will be less than 10% of what it was for FM
MDR, public broadcaster for Germany’s federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, found that radio services broadcast via DAB+ would require 10% of the current radiated power (ERP)
