Resolve 5 misunderstandings and accelerate green development (Huawei keynote speech)

This reference material is a translated version of the press release released in Shenzhen on February 27, 2022 (local time).

Huawei Japan (Corporate) [February 27, 2022, Barcelona, ​​Spain] Huawei held the Day 0 forum, "Lighting up the Future", the day before MWC2022 Barcelona. Dr. Philip Son, Chief Marketing Officer of the company's Career Business Group, gave a keynote speech at the forum entitled "Five Misunderstandings in Green Development." He said: "Green development is a buzzword. Just as Newton's classical mechanics led to Einstein's theory of relativity, its evolutionary process will be a spiral of misunderstandings and truths. Accelerating the green development of the ICT industry. In order to do so, we need to overcome these five misunderstandings early. "

Dr. Song giving a lecture at the Day0 forum

Misconception # 1: ICT industry contributes to increased carbon dioxide emissions According to GeSI's SMARTer 2030 report, the ICT industry is projected to account for only 1.97% of global carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. I am. More importantly, the use of ICT technology is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a wide range of industries by 20%, which is 10 times the carbon dioxide emissions of the ICT industry itself. .. Such secondary reductions are called carbon handprints, and their value makes ICT infrastructure more important in many national strategies. Huawei predicts that 1YB (yottabyte) data will be stored in the cloud by 2030. This means that the current infrastructure can implement green all-optical transmission technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 150 million tonnes each year. This reduction is equivalent to planting 200 million trees that can cover the entire of Europe with forests. Misconception # 2: As Dr. Song said in his lecture that supply chain emissions, which are the cause of carbon dioxide emissions from network equipment, are attracting too much attention, when looking at the entire life cycle of network equipment, it is during manufacturing. Only 2% of the carbon dioxide is generated, and 80-95% of the carbon dioxide is generated during use. So Dr. Song said that the key to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the ICT industry is to adopt innovative technologies to improve energy efficiency. Misconception # 3: Green Development is Equal Green Energy Solar and wind power are of great importance to the green development of the ICT industry, but they can make a big profit by systematically improving the energy efficiency of communication networks. It is possible to get. With this in mind, Huawei announced at this summit a three-stage green solution that systematically improves the energy efficiency of networks through "green sites, green networks, and green operations," and telecommunications carriers "More Bits, Less." We are focusing on helping to achieve "Watts" (increasing traffic and reducing power consumption). Misconception # 4: The energy efficiency of a network is not enough to make a comprehensive scenario-based planning and construction decision, with a single device energy efficiency assessment equal to the sum of the energy efficiencies of its communications equipment. Huawei has developed a Unified Standards Index System (NCI) to measure energy efficiency indicators for major communications equipment, base station accessories, transmission networks and data centers, and to accurately evaluate and formulate energy conservation policies for the entire network. Suggested to establish. Misconception # 5: Energy Saving Should Not Affect Network Performance In fact, there is a trade-off between energy saving features and some network indicators. However, energy-saving features can be adopted without impacting the actual user experience at the expense of maximum speed and some other indicators. In Germany, intelligent shutdown solutions are being installed in late-night commercial establishments. Although the communication speed is slightly reduced, the power consumption of the communication base station is reduced by 10% without affecting the user experience. To conclude, Dr. Song made five recommendations for green development in the ICT industry. First, we will further develop the ICT industry and enable green development in various fields. Second, more attention needs to be paid to the carbon dioxide emissions of the ICT infrastructure during use, not just the manufacturing stage. Third, the systematic solution of "Green Site, Green Network, Green Operation" continuously improves the network capacity of carriers, reduces power consumption per bit, that is, achieves "More Bits, Less Watts". Contributes to. Fourth, a unified energy efficiency index system needs to be established to highlight the major challenges of energy consumption. Fifth, energy savings are determined by the user experience. MWC2022 will be held in Barcelona from February 28th to March 3rd. Huawei will showcase its products and solutions at 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1. We plan to exchange opinions with telecommunications carriers, industry experts, and opinion leaders around the world on industry trends and prospects, and ways to develop green for future-oriented digital networks. https://carrier.huawei.com/en/events/mwc2022 [About Huawei] Established in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices.
