The telecommunications value chain, consisting of infrastructure providers, data centers, and telecom operators, faces increasing energy demands due to advancements in digitalization, AI, cloud computing, and 5G. While these technologies boost communication efficiency, they also lead to higher electricity consumption and a growing carbon footprint. Managing energy consumption is now a critical priority for the industry.

In 2022, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector contributed 2-3% of global emissions, with projections suggesting this could rise to 14% by 2040 without intervention. To meet Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goals, the industry must cut emissions by 45% by 2030 compared to 2022 levels.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
