Environmental Protection

As digitization continues to advance rapidly, ICT infrastructure is becoming smarter and can offer faster and

smoother connectivity. But ICT infrastructure consumes huge amounts of energy and resources. The ICT industry

is now facing the significant challenge of how to minimize energy and resource consumption, as well as other

environmental impacts, without compromising network performance or user experience. Huawei works tirelessly

to combat climate change. We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our production and

operations and throughout our product and service lifecycles. We use our innovative products and solutions to help

industries conserve energy and reduce emissions, and contribute to a circular economy. We make ongoing efforts

to work with all industry partners to build a low-carbon society.

Green Products

An important goal of our green product efforts is to develop efficient, energy-saving, and environment-friendly

products and solutions for customers, helping them reduce operating costs and minimize their environmental

impact. We continue to explore how to design more energy-efficient products to ensure all our products meet or

even outperform what is required by applicable laws, regulations, standards, and customer requirements. To adapt

to the evolving network technologies and architecture, we have created innovative power-saving solutions that

reduce power consumption and carbon emissions.

5G Power Helps Build a Green 5G Telecom Network

In the 5G era, increasing site power consumption brings

unprecedented challenges to energy infrastructure

construction. Huawei is the industry’s first company to

propose the idea of building a simple, intelligent, and green

5G telecom power target network and has released its new

5G Power solution.

Huawei 5G Power is a revolutionary intelligent solution

that focuses more on the performance improvement of an

entire site and network, instead of individual power supply

components. It uses key technologies such as efficient

rectifying, intelligent voltage boosting, and AI scheduling

to minimize the power consumption losses of rectifiers,

contactors, and shunts, which ensures efficient power supply

and greatly improves end-to-end site energy efficiency.

In addition, the 5G Power solution supports maximum

power point tracking (MPPT) technology, iPV shading for

loss reduction, and smooth access to solar power. About

10% more power can be generated from these efficient

solar modules. This industry-leading solar power solution

maximizes the use of clean energy.

According to the results of a joint experiment by Huawei

and China Tower, the 5G Power solution can dramatically

cut site power consumption. The solution is expected to save

4,130 kWh of electricity per site per year. About 2 million

5G sites are expected to be built or reconstructed between

2019 and 2022 in China, and about 800,000 of these sites

will be supported by the Huawei 5G Power solution. This is

expected to reduce annual carbon emissions by more than

900,000 tons. According to a joint experiment by Huawei and

a European customer, the 5G Power solution can bring an

average energy saving of 51% per site.

At the ITU Telecom World 2019, the Huawei 5G Power solution won the Global Industry Awards: Sustainable Impact for its

outstanding contribution to energy saving and emissions reduction for mobile networks.
