The accelerated deployment of 5G connectivity across Europe and the U.K. will have an immediate and catalyzing impact on climate targets by reducing CO2e emissions, according to a new study commissioned by Ericsson.
The study found that implementing 5G technology across four high-emitting sectors — power, transport, manufacturing and buildings — could generate the same emissions savings that would be achieved by removing 35 million cars.
The study also reports that at least 40% of the EU’s carbon reduction solutions, up until 2030, will rely on fixed-line and mobile connectivity.
