[Photo by Guo Shining/For China Daily] China aims to build over 4.5 million 5G base stations next year and give more policy as well as financial support to foster industries that can define the next decade, the country's top industry regulator said on Friday.
Does China have a 5G network?
Given that China currently has the largest 5G network in the world (∼1.53 million base stations by the end of , Table S1) and that base station number was projected by up to 6–8 million by (CCID Consulting, ), concerns are being expressed regarding 5G mobile networks' environmental effects and sustainability.
How much CO2 will China's 5G network produce?
Under the model predicted 5G base stations, China's 5G network could yield 0.15–0.29 GtCO2 /yr emissions subject to the nation's BDDL from 40 to 80 % by . Both 5G base stations and CO 2 emissions are significantly lower than the previous estimates.
How much carbon does 5G emit in China in ?
The results indicate that, due to the high carbon emissions resulting from the new infrastructure, the carbon emissions of 5G base stations in China in amounted to 49.2 MtCO 2 eq.
Can solar power improve China's base station infrastructure?
Traditionally powered by coal-dominated grid electricity, these stations contribute significantly to operational costs and air pollution. This study offers a comprehensive roadmap for low-carbon upgrades to China’s base station infrastructure by integrating solar power, energy storage, and intelligent operation strategies.
How much electricity will China's 5G network consume in ?
Under the scenario of business-estimated six million base stations in , the share of electricity consumed by China's 5G networks in could reach 8.4 % of the national total power generation, causing 0.44 GtCO2 /yr CO 2 emissions.
