LONDON, 18/06/2025 (informazione.news - comunicati stampa - ambiente)

However, to continue progress and keep net zero by 2050 on track, emissions must fall by 7.5% annually until 2030 – more than twice the average annual rate to date.

The acceleration in decarbonisation is driven by operator actions to improve network energy efficiency and transition to clean energy, including solar and battery storage, while reducing reliance on diesel generators.

Encouraging new analysis was published today to frame discussions at MWC25 Shanghai in China – where there are more than one billion 5G connections. Preliminary 2024 data shows a 4% operational emissions reduction year-on-year driven by a more than quadrupling in renewable energy use by operators. As the industry's largest single market, China's progress is instrumental in achieving global net zero targets.
