As 5G serves as the foundation for the construction of new infrastructure, China, as the world leader in 5G base station construction, has already built over 1.4 million 5G base stations in 2021 alone. In the same year, 5G base stations in China produced approximately 49.2 million tons of CO 2 eq.
The network traffic data cover 12,264 4G base stations and 2,159 5G base stations. Monthly data on the numbers of base stations and mobile users in each province are released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China 27.
For China, based on a single base station power's energy consumption of 11.5 KWh (Huawei, 2019), we estimate that the electricity consumed by its 5G network by 2030 will be 6.04 × 10 5 GW for 6 million base stations, the equivalents of 8.4 % of China's national total power generation in 2019, respectively.
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.
Here we develop a large-scale data-driven framework to quantitatively assess the carbon emissions of 5G mobile networks in China, where over 60% of the global 5G base stations are
