BANGKOK, Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei Digital Power hosted the Telecom Digital Power Summit APAC 2021 online

on November 26, welcoming over 600 viewers from 23 countries. Here, industry

and business leaders shared their insights and experiences on carbon neutrality

in telecommunication networks and data center facilities.

"Carbon neutrality has become a global consensus and mission. I believe it will

be one of the biggest changes in the upcoming 30-40 years. It will not only

revolutionize power production and consumption, but also bring opportunities to

upgrade all industries as well as rethink our economy and society." — said Dr.

Fang Lianzhou, VP and CMO of Huawei Digital Power.

Carbon neutrality is a growing trend in the global fight against climate

change. Huawei Telecom Digital Power Summit APAC 2021 provided a virtual

platform to exchange experiences in reducing both carbon emissions and OPEX,

helping partners and customers digitalize their energy and go carbon neutral.

The global ICT industry consumed over 570 billion kWh of electricity in 2020

and the figure is expected to reach 1.85 trillion kWh in 2030. In addition,

data center facilities and telecommunication networks were responsible for 160

million tons and 146 million tons of carbon emissions in 2020, respectively. It

is therefore undeniable that the ICT industry will need to play a major role in

reaching carbon neutrality targets.

The Summit looked at the foundation of building green telecommunication

networks and data center facilities. Speakers shared their insights, tips, and

best practices. Plus, viewers from around the world glimpsed the latest green

energy facilities for telecommunication networks and data centers, global best

practices, and innovative solutions for new building facilities and

modernization.

Ms. Yoly Crisanto, CSO of Globe Telecom — one of the largest and most advanced

telecommunication operators in Asia Pacific, shared her experience in 5G

deployment and site digitalization. Globe works to actively contribute to 10

out of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. This includes several carbon

emissions management strategies, such as deploying over 7400 green solutions

across the network and modifying 13 key building facilities in the Philippines

to run on clean energy. Ms. Crisanto also explained that Globe is significantly

reducing its carbon emissions through green energy transformation. Globe

Telecom has set a remarkable example for telecommunication operators worldwide,

aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 57% or 0.57 million tons by 2030.

Sanjay Kr Sainani, Global SVP & CTO of Huawei Digital Power highlighted key

technologies for reduced Carbon Footprint in Data Centers. He said:  

"Prefabricated & Modular Construction allow use of recyclable materials,

reduced consumption & wastage and shortens time to deploy Data Center

Facilities. Huawei has pioneered high efficiency converged power & cooling

systems, embedded IoT, AI enabled O&M technologies that have been successfully

implemented in Data Centers from China to Ireland to help reduce Data Center

life-cycle Carbon footprint"

After the keynote sessions, the audience took a virtual tour of the Huawei

Digital Power Innovation Experience Center, learning about the latest digital

power solutions as well as the next-generation data center and

telecommunication sites in Dongguan and Hangzhou.

The half-day summit brought global audiences together with industry and

business leaders. Participants explored innovative solutions in the power

industry along with case studies that have adopted leading power technologies

in the ICT industry.

Carbon neutrality cannot be achieved if we work alone. Collective efforts are

necessary. The impressive turnout at this summit has highlighted global

interest in green energy. In response to market demand and increasing push

toward clean energy, Huawei will continue to work with customers and partners

to integrate and innovate power electronics, energy storage, cloud, and digital

technologies to build a better, greener, and smarter world.
