Abstract: Continual release of greenhouse gases emission into the atmosphere is the main cause of climate change. Climate change and its consequent impacts have been source of concerns for all as it directly affects the sustainability of life on the planet earth. Greenhouse gases emission must be reduced in all sectors to avert the inherent dangers of climate change. This work investigates the emission of greenhouse gases in the Nigerian Telecoms industry. Empirical data from Nigerian Telecoms industry are gathered and technically evaluated to investigate the carbon footprint of operations in the sector. The work further estimates the environmental gains in terms of reduction in greenhouse gases emission and economic gains in terms of reduction in fuel costs achievable with deploying renewable energy solution (solar-powered inverter with backup batteries) to power base stations.
