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 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.
Could 5G help achieve China's Carbon Peak target?
In the case of a 5G low power load (Fig. 5 b), the fraction reduces to 0.13 %, suggesting that power load from switching 4G to a 5G network could reduce about 6 % of CO 2 emission subject to the nation's carbon peak scenario. In light of this, replacing the 4G with a 5G network could help achieve China's carbon peak target.
Does 5G affect climate?
Some of our results agree with previous findings concerning how growing 5G base stations and data traffic enhance power consumption and, therefore, carbon emissions are often regarded as a side effect of 5G networks on climate, hindering their sustainable development.
