Life Cycle Assessment of Wireless BTS to Reduce Carbon Footprints

摘要

The combination of more data-hungry devices and higher service expectations on the part of users has led to inevitably high global mobile data traffic which in turn translates in to huge impact on the environment. In order to analyze and minimize the impact on environment from whole activities (initial to final process), Life cycle assessment (LCA) should be used which will help in achieving carbon credits. Carbon Credits provide an efficient mechanism to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by monetizing the reduction in emissions. In order to protect ourselves, our economy, and our land from the adverse effects of climate change, we must reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is the methodology which can be used to consider carbon footprint or we can say that considering the impact on CO2 emissions. In this paper, we have discussed the approach of LCA of wireless BTS which can help the telecom operators to reduce the carbon footprints of Wireless mobile communication networks.
