The introduction of 5G will be positively affected by ecology. This is reported in the current report Ericsson, published on the company’s website.
The Ericsson document states that due to a more efficient data transfer method, the number of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced. With the active implementation of 5G in the four most “dirty” sectors – electric power industry, transport, production and construction – the number of CO2 emissions in the European Region will decrease by 55-170 million tons. It is equivalent to removal from roads 35 million vendingours.
The company’s specialists explained that by 2030 the transition to 5G will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union countries by about 550 million tons per year. “The ability to connect to the network will directly allow you to switch to a more environmentally friendly carbon emissions and will affect the achievement of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,” the authors noted.
Scientists emphasized that the deployment of the fifth generation standard must be forced. According to experts, only 15 percent of the inhabitants of the planet is currently available. “Under such rates, we will lose a chance to fully utilize the potential of 5G to combat climate change,” the authors summarized and encouraged the government of countries to stimulate the development of network infrastructure.
Previously, scientists reported that cutting hydrocarbon emissions into the atmosphere is not enough to prevent a climatic catastrophe. Specialists called for controlling the allocation of other greenhouse gas, methane.
