However, due to their high radio frequency and limited coverage, the construction and operation of 5G base stations can lead to significant energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. To address this challenge, scholars have focused on developing sustainable 5G base stations.
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.
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. Carbon emissions during the operational phase account for the largest proportion among the other phases of the entire lifecycle.
