Huawei shows commitment towards tackling environmental problems

Given the urgency to address the world’s climate crisis, no field of human endeavor is exempt from finding solutions to keeping the global temperature to a manageable level- that is well-below 1.5C.

Research shows that the extensive application of ICT enables a range of industries to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. By 2030, ICT will be help industries reduce carbon emissions by 12 Gt, a figure almost 10 times the ICT industry’s total global carbon footprint today.

Clearly, ICT is playing an increasingly important role in addressing global environmental issues. Indeed, its implementation not only promotes energy conservation and supports emissions reduction for industries, but it also improves the efficiency of renewable energy use, working to mitigate the causes of climate change.

To this end, Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, is demonstrating its commitment to tackling global environmental problems through technological innovation, creating a greener future together with partners, helping people to live in harmony with nature.

With its stated vision of “Tech for a Better Planet”, Huawei has put into practice its environmental protection principles, reducing its own carbon emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and promoting the circular economy.

This move resulted in Huawei being named an A-List company by CDP in 2020, for its actions to combat climate change — this denotes a leadership level, above and beyond both the industry and regional averages.

Huawei works hand-in-hand with customers toward these goals. Emaar Properties, the largest real estate developer in the Middle East, used Huawei’s all-optical campus solution to develop the 6 square kilometer Dubai Creek Harbour project.

According to the Huawei Financial Report 2020, the company claims that its solution helped Emaar reduce equipment room space by 80%, lower energy consumption by 30% (approximately 130,000 kWh of electricity each year), and reduce approximately 62 tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to planting more than 2700 trees.

Singaporean data center carrier 1-Net chose Huawei, a long-term reliable partner, to conduct architecture research, requirement analysis, and solution design. The supplied solution will help 1-Net save 11.2 million kWh of electricity-generating SGD14.4 million (approximately US$10.87 million) of additional revenue — over a 10-year span. The flexible solution also reduces the initial investment required in terms of power supply and distribution by 40%.

James Yeo, 1-Net’s Data Center Facility Manager, said, “We are looking forward to working with Huawei to build more intelligent and green data centers in the future, which will contribute to the digital economy and low-carbon economic growth in Singapore and the entire Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.”
