Resource thumbnail

Zain is using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the energy efficiency of its 5G network in Kuwait. To meet its pledge to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2060, Kuwait is aiming to cut its direct gas emissions in the oil and gas sector by 50% by 2040 and achieve carbon neutrality in that sector by 2050. To help the country progress towards these goals, mobile operator Zain Kuwait is aiming to reduce its carbon emissions by 16.7% by 2027 compared with 2022 and then achieve net zero by 2050. To that end, it needs to reduce wireless energy consumption and carbon emissions cost-effectively, and without harming the end user experience of its services.
