Mobile Net Zero 2024 - Key Findings Summary

The mobile industry, committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, made significant progress in 2022 despite increasing data demand.

Key Highlights

1. Progress Towards Net Zero Goal

   • 70 mobile operators globally (representing ~50% of mobile connections) committed to near-term science-based targets.
   • A further 53 operators have set net zero targets, with overall industry revenue coverage reaching ~68%.
   • Between 2019 and 2022, industry-wide operational emissions fell by 6% while connections grew by 7%.

2. Regional Performance

   • Europe led with the most significant reduction (-50% in operational emissions).
   • Latin America (-28%) and North America (-37%) showed strong reductions in emissions per connection.
   • Sub-Saharan Africa achieved ~30% reductions while facing challenges in energy access.

3. Key Reduction Strategies

   • Energy efficiency improvements: Average energy intensity of data transmission reduced by 10-20% annually.
   • Renewable energy adoption: Industry-wide purchased renewable electricity rose to 33% of consumption (up from 14% in 2019).
   • Circular economy initiatives: 15 operators signed up for phone reuse/repair/recycling targets.

4. Climate Resilience

   • 60% of operators by connections conducted climate risk and opportunity analysis.
   • Industry-backed initiatives focus on leveraging mobile tech for climate adaptation and disaster resilience.

Recommendations

• Operators should enhance Scope 3 emissions tracking and supply chain engagement.
• Governments should prioritize renewable energy policies, especially grid electrification and renewable access.
• Accelerated circular economy adoption will be crucial for value chain decarbonization.
