According to the experts who compiled the report, 5G transmits data more efficiently than previous standards
If we introduce 5G to four sectors,which produce the largest amount of CO2 - electricity, transport, manufacturing and construction - then in the European region emissions will be reduced by 55-170 million tons.
Experts predict that by 2030, the massive spread of 5G will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union by about 550 million tons per year.
Direct connectivity will enable the transition to a greener, low-carbon future and impact on achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
