4 FAQs about [Power generation of China Communications 5G base stations]

Will China build a 5G base station next year?

Technicians from China Mobile check a 5G base station in Tongling, Anhui province. [Photo by Guo Shining/For China Daily] China aims to build over 4.5 million 5G base stations next year and give more policy as well as financial support to foster industries that can define the next decade, the country''s top industry regulator said on Friday.

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 2021, Table S1) and that base station number was projected by up to 6–8 million by 2030 (CCID Consulting, 2020), concerns are being expressed regarding 5G mobile networks'' environmental effects and sustainability.

How much carbon does a 5G base station produce?

Previous research has estimated that a single 5G base station will produce approximately 30.2 ~ 33.5 tCO 2 eq throughout its life cycle (Ding et al., 2022; Guo et al., 2022a). Consequently, the carbon emissions from 5G base stations in China in 2021 amounted to approximately 49.2 MtCO 2 eq.

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 2030. Both 5G base stations and CO 2 emissions are significantly lower than the previous estimates.
