5G’s role in reducing carbon emissions – over 1.6B tonnes by 2030
5G-enabled use cases are estimated to enable close to a 1% reduction in total global emissions by 2030 – this is equivalent to approximately half of all Canada’s carbon emissions in 2018.
There is a part to play in accelerating the reduction of carbon emissions for telcos, governments, the energy industry and other key stakeholders in the industry. We have identified 7 key principles for accelerating progress, such as:
- How operators need to deploy 5G to support this change
- Governments’ role in setting technology and emissions policies
- Telcos need to explore new business models to support the energy ecosystem
In this webinar STL Partners will demonstrate:
- Which 5G use cases play the biggest role in reducing emissions
- How the ecosystem must work together

How 5G can cut 1.7 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030
Based on extensive industry interviews and detailed modelling, 5G-enabled use cases can reduce carbon emissions in the energy industry by almost 1% by 2030. How – and what – should telcos, the energy sector and governments do to achieve this?
Curtailing carbon emissions – Can 5G help?
On the face of it, 5G promises to be a key enabler in our quest for a carbon-neutral future. In simple terms, due to much lower kWh/TB transmitted, 5G should outperform 4G by an order of magnitude and 2/3G networks by many orders of magnitude.
Curtailing carbon emissions – Can 5G help?
Data volumes are growing inexorably. With the right deployment, how could 5G help to improve networks’ energy performance and curtail carbon emissions?
