SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 28, 2021 \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0ZTE Corporation (0763.HK<\/a> \/ 000063.SZ<\/a>), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile internet, today announced that Ms. Chen Zhiping, Vice President and General Manager of the Branding Department\u00a0at ZTE, has delivered\u00a0a keynote speech\u00a0entitled\u00a0“A Digital Road to Carbon Neutrality” and shared how ZTE can help companies in multiple industries to save energy, reduce emissions and finally promote the realization of society’s goal of carbon neutrality through ZTE’s digital technology innovation.<\/p>\n

“To meet the goals and challenges of energy saving and emission reduction in the whole industry, we believe that digitalization will help traditional industries,” said Ms. Chen.<\/p>\n

As a driver\u00a0of the digital economy, ZTE uses technological innovation to pave the green boulevard for the digital economy, and promotes the achievement of the dual-carbon goal through green operations, green supply chains, green ICT Infrastructure, and green industry.<\/p>\n

The following is a compilation of Ms. Chen’s speech:<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2020, apart from COVID-19 spreading around the world, did you feel that the temperature is a bit unusual? In June 2020, a Siberian town in the Arctic Circle reached a high temperature of 38 degrees! This is the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic circle. If the global temperature rise is controlled within 1.5 degrees, a large number of losses and risks caused by climate change will be avoided.<\/p>\n

Currently, carbon neutrality has become a global consensus.<\/p>\n

By June 2021, 137 countries have proposed a carbon neutralization target and more than 1200 enterprises have committed to join SBTi, with global ICT giants taking the lead in setting strategic zero carbon objectives. China has announced carbon emission commitments and targets.<\/p>\n

Digital technology plays a key role in achieving the goal of carbon neutrality<\/b><\/p>\n

If we want to achieve the goal of global carbon neutrality, traditional industries are facing a greater challenge of reducing consumption. The\u00a0ICT\u00a0industry accounts for 2% of total carbon emissions in the world every year. With the growth of\u00a0digital infrastructure deployment, ICT emission reduction also faces considerable challenges. The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) announced that the ICT industry would reduce emissions by 45% by 2030.<\/p>\n

With the acceleration of digital transformation, the technologies represented by 5G, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have been continuously improved, and digital technologies are more widely used in all walks of life.<\/p>\n

We can improve the efficiency of resource allocation and production and life through efficient data connections, storage, calculations and applications. Many research data show that digital technology can help other industries reduce carbon emissions by more than 10 times compared to the ICT industry’s own carbon emissions. It can be seen that digital technology plays a key role in achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n

Set as an example, ZTE takes a green development path in digital transformation<\/b><\/p>\n

As a positive practitioner of green development, ZTE promotes environmental protection management in the office and production operations to reduce the consumption of natural resources.<\/p>\n

The company has taken a variety of measures to reduce corporate carbon emissions, such as pursuing green production, and conserving resources and energy through continuous transformation of production processes.<\/p>\n

Through production process optimization (high temperature aging), annual power saving exceeds 30 million kWh. We started carbon footprint tracking management of the whole product life cycle. We promote smart air conditioners and smart lighting to reduce electricity consumption while ensuring a comfortable working environment for employees. Through green photovoltaic power generation, annual electricity output has exceeded 3 million kWh. In addition, the company works with more than 160 global environmental service providers to build a global green cycle network.<\/p>\n

Our carbon target also depends on the decarbonization process of upstream products and services. We are working together with upstream and downstream partners to jointly\u00a0achieve\u00a0energy saving and emission reduction in material selection, material recycling, and logistics.<\/p>\n

So far, more than 40 leading suppliers have developed carbon reduction strategic plans. Most suppliers will come from partners with targeted commitments in the next 5 to 10 years. Procurement management actively promotes carbon emissions of suppliers in many ways.\u00a0It continuously improves low-carbon and sustainable development competitiveness of our supply chain.<\/p>\n

Green digital infrastructure helps operators build low-carbon networks<\/b><\/p>\n

For digital infrastructure, wireless sites and data centers occupy the largest proportion of energy consumption. Carbon emissions can be reduced by introducing green power, building green sites, and green data centers.<\/p>\n

Specifically, in the process of building the energy infrastructure of the communication network, ZTE has proposed a new “zero-carbon” energy network with the concept of “green, efficient, intelligent and reliable” to increase the proportion of green energy applications.<\/p>\n

With the annual increase of communication traffic and the large-scale deployment of 5G, the proportion of site energy consumption to the energy consumption of the whole network exceeds 45%, which is the key to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n

As a leading ICT equipment supplier, ZTE Corporation has incorporated the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection into the design of site products and the implementation of solutions to continuously output value for the creation of green sites.<\/p>\n

With the development of various data services and cloud services, data centers are also giants of energy consumption, including IT equipment, cooling equipment, power supply and distribution systems and lighting equipment with the IT equipment and cooling equipment alone accounting for 80% of energy consumption. Equipped with ZTE’s ZEGO solution, it can solve the problem of equipment energy consumption.<\/p>\n

At present, the UniSite, PowerPilot, and iEnergy solutions proposed by ZTE through digital practice have been widely used in the networks of global operators, helping them to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction.<\/p>\n
