什么?

采取行动以实现净零的目前比以往任何时候都更为重要,因为我们只有一个狭窄的机会窗口将温度升高在1.5 c。该行业最新到2050年已承诺将净净额纳入零。

Why?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned of ‘a rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future.’ Now is the time to act and realize a Net Zero ambition. No individual party can solve this alone: it requires a collective approach, with tangible and clear actions by all.

如何?

移动行业可以做两件事来帮助解决气候危机。首先,要迅速脱碳为一个部门 - 爱立信通过我们的野心支持。其次,帮助其他部门减少其排放。

The takeaway

电信行业正在迅速脱碳。它的技术创新和协作方法都通过产生效率提高并实现新的可持续运营流程来帮助其他部门脱碳化。Telcos正在减少自己的运营,供应链,供应链和排放的碳排放量ambition to reach Net Zero.In a decisive step towards Net Zero emissions, Deutsche Telekom partnered with Ericsson to bring solar power to commercial mobile broadband sites contributing to more than two-thirds of the site’s total power – even during peak hours.By working together, the Telco industry is driving positive change when it comes to tackling the biggest climate challenges – like supporting the increase in availability of renewable energy.By considering sustainability as a value creator, the sector is developing innovative solutions to some of the world’s most complex climate challenges and is pioneering a sustainable future.

政府间气候变化小组(IPCC)是联合国评估与气候变化有关的科学的机构。它的第六次评估于2022年2月发布,警告说“迅速关闭的窗口可以确保宜居的未来”。该报告重新确认,对零野心的需求比以往任何时候都更为普遍和重要。

In 2021, Ericsson formalized its long-term ambition to be Net Zero across its value chain by 2040. To meet this ambition, Ericsson is making progress against its targets in line with the 1.5°C ambition set by the Paris Agreement. To meet these targets, a priority is to reduce and avoid emissions across the value chain as well as to invest in renewable energy.(1)

在ICT行业活动MWC Barcelona 2022年,我们很高兴与GSMA气候行动负责人史蒂芬·摩尔(Steven Moore)交谈,这是对电信行业如何帮助实现净零未来的雄心壮志。

GSMA是一个全球组织,统一移动生态系统,以发现,开发和交付积极商业环境和社会变革的创新基础。它的愿景是释放连通性的全部力量,使人,工业和社会蓬勃发展。

GSMA代表移动生态系统和相邻行业的移动运营商和组织,为其成员提供了三个广泛的支柱:Industry Services and Solutions, Connectivity for Good, and Outreach.

So Steven, what does Net Zero mean for you? Why is immediate action so important?净零意味着平衡我们在大气中发出的排放与我们可以拉出的排放。这意味着要迈向一种截然不同的业务,生活和工作方式,并建立了一种与目前我们拥有的经济完全不同的经济。

采取行动以实现净零的目前非常重要,因为我们只有一个狭窄的机会窗口将温度的升高保持在1.5 ﹾ c。这是必须的,因为我们刚刚看到了最新的联合国报告,该报告表明,如果我们超越了这一点,我们的气候将会发生许多不可逆转的变化,这将意味着对我们作为文明的巨大影响。

“我看到一个未来whereby technology enables us to live moresustainably还有更多与自然和谐相处的。”

What role does the telco industry have to play in addressing the climate crisis?

移动行业可以做两件事来帮助解决气候危机。首先是快速脱碳为一个部门,这是我们通过野心支持的。

作为一个行业,这是我们在2019年做出的一项承诺 - 最新到2050年,碳排放量为零。如果我们能做到这一点,那么我们将发挥我们的作用,将全球供暖限制为1.5 ﹾC。

And many operators now, across the mobile industry, as well as many suppliers, have set targets to rapidly cut carbon emissions by 2030. And we’re not just talking about the carbon emissions from their own operations, but the carbon emissions throughout their whole value chains. So that includes emissions associated with each company’s supply chain and when their customers use their products and services.

移动行业可以做的第二件事是帮助其他部门减少其排放。一方面,我们谈论电信部门的足迹,这是指我们自己的排放。我们还谈论了该行业的手印,这就是我们可以帮助其他行业脱碳的方式。移动技术如何帮助我们做到这一点?通过使用智能,连接的技术。它可能是通过自动化建筑管理系统在智能建筑物中,可以减少所使用的电量。它可以通过运输,通过智能连接的汽车,这意味着我们可以以低碳方式四处走动。或智能制造,我们可以在其中制造更有效的生产线。

我们知道,这些智能技术可以创造的节省可能比移动行业本身的足迹大10倍。因此,当然,这可以为快速帮助减少排放做出重大贡献。

电信行业已经在支持净零议程?

移动行业致力于净净收入,实际上正在做许多事情来帮助实现它。一个重点是能源效率。至关重要的是,我们特别是使我们的网络尽可能高效,因为每年都会将越来越多的数据传输到它们中。我们知道,从2G到3G,3G到4G和现在5G的连续技术比先前的技术更有效。这意味着在网络周围携带每个数据所需的能量要少得多。

我们专注于支持零净的另一个大领域是改用可再生能源。我们知道,所有网络都会有能源使用,但是能源需要来自清洁,可再生的来源。这意味着要在有空间的某些地方投资现场可再生能源,但也投资于大规模可再生项目的投资,如果没有我们的领域的投入,这是不可能的。我们看到许多移动网络运营商和供应商在进行这些大型投资,因此他们可以以干净,可持续的方式实现100%可再生电力,电力网络和基础设施。

下一步应该是什么?您的组织如何支持这些?

One of the biggest ways that the GSMA can help move the industry to Net Zero is by bringing together all of the key stakeholders to work on this challenge in a collaborative way. Back in 2019, we created the Climate Action Taskforce, to bring our members together to work on the challenge of Net Zero. That Taskforce now has more than 50 members, representing all regions of the world and most countries. We work together on some of the biggest issues for Net Zero, like energy efficiency. We need to move to more energy efficient networks and that’s what we are seeing with each generation of technology. 5G uses up to 90% less energy to move each bit of data around the network and that’s really important, as we are using much more data around networks.

提高能源效率,增加可再生能源的使用,并一直沿着价值链引入。各个公司无法克服这些挑战。他们要求我们以协作的方式共同努力,以找到正确的解决方案。

Through the Climate Action Taskforce, we aim to bring together companies to find answers to these challenges.

其他方需要采取哪些行动?

我们需要政府,监管机构和政策制定者的帮助,因为在某些国家,政策甚至不存在未来十年来迅速脱碳。例如,以可再生能源为例。作为一个行业,我们可以生成的现场可再生能源量有限制。结果,我们需要通过既定的能源市场获得可再生能源的机会。但是在某些国家,不可能通过既定的能源市场购买可再生电力。这是我们正在与政府合作的事情。我们要求他们与我们一起改变监管环境,使我们能够访问可再生能源并实现降低碳目标。

面临什么挑战?

We see the circular economy as both a challenge and an opportunity. What does circular economy mean? It means moving from a take, make, and dispose type of linear economy, where we lose precious raw materials and waste them, to one in which we are taking, making and then remanufacturing, recycling, reusing and refurbishing products and devices. We see this as being an increasingly important focus area for us and the industry over the coming years. We are already seeing some of the leading companies within the industry set circular economy targets to 2030/2040. It’s going to take a huge amount of innovation and transformation for us to move the industry from a linear model to a circular one. However, it will be vital if we are going to achieve Net Zero carbon ambitions. I see a future where there is clean air in all cities. Where I can use technology to travel around safely and in a low carbon way. Where I can access the wonders of ancient forests and not worry that they will be lost tomorrow. Where we can all live more sustainably and more in harmony with nature.

“我看到了一个未来……我们都可以live more可持续性,更多harmony with nature."

为清洁网络供电

In a decisive step toward Net Zero emissions,德意志电信与爱立信合作to bring solar power to commercial mobile broadband sites for the first time ever

Solar panels were installed at Deutsche Telekom’s mobile site in Dittenheim, Germany during the second half of 2020.

The solution was able to contribute to more than two-thirds of the site’s total power — even during peak hours. In fact, thanks to the efficiency of the radio equipment, at times of high solar irradiation, even larger shares were possible. The operator could continuously track and supervise the solar energy harvest continuously.

Leif Heitzer德意志电信公司高级副总裁技术指导与经济学说:“自动供电对移动站点的好处是双重的。首先,它有助于通过从可再生能源中采购电力来减少我们的碳排放,这是实现的重要措施,以实现一项重要措施净零。其次,这也将有助于在发展成本不经济的地方实现网络扩展。”

(1)作为解决任何不可避免的排放的最后一项措施,爱立信将通过批准的碳去除信用来消除大气中的剩余排放。
