carbon reduction

Background: Telecommunication system plays a crucial role in fast development of energy demand growth and carbon dioxide emissions. As sustainability becomes part of corporate goals green telecommunications strive to bring innovation in energy efficiency. Objective: As part of examining the state of art developments in energy-efficient networking technologies and approaches to minimize power consumption in telecommunication facilities, the important global task of using green telecommunication for sustainable development goals is highlighted. Methods: A literature review and analysis were successfully performed to examine the use of advanced hardware technologies, SDN technology, NFV, and intelligent renewable energy integration. Some of the green telecommunication’s solutions that were implemented are explained with case studies in this article. Results: The studies reveal that new practices including energy-sensitive algorithms, state-of-art cooling solutions and integration of renewable power into Telecommunications networks have improved the energy efficiency standards. In addition, SDN and NFV also improve resource allocation of data centers, which also boosts energy efficiency. Conclusion: Green telecoms offer available strategies for cutting back energy use in telecoms sector. Mitigation of the environmental impacts can therefore be achieved through incorporation of Energy Efficiency measures and Renewable Energy Source technology to utility services without necessarily compromising quality of service delivery hence catalyzing the Advancement of the progress of sustainability.
