Technical FAQs 4

Are green cellular base stations sustainable?

This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.

What will China's base stations be like in 2021?

The construction of base stations in China has continued to grow rapidly since 2019. From 2021 to 2030, cumulative carbon emissions during the operational phase will be 710±50 MtCO2 e, and cumulative carbon emissions during the manufacturing phase will be 102±5 MtCO 2 e, accounting for 87% and 13%, respectively.

Should China upgrade to low-carbon base stations?

These outcomes demonstrate that upgrading to low-carbon base stations not only ensures economic feasibility but also delivers significant environmental and public health benefits, reinforcing the strategic value of decarbonizing China’s communication infrastructure.

How many 5G base stations are built in China?

Emission reduction potential and model sharing In 2019, China began to build 5G base stations and has built over 113,000. Construction of 5G base stations accelerated in 2020 and a total of 718,800 base stations were built, resulting in a sharp increase in carbon emissions.
