#Google reveals 48% increase in #greenhousegas #emissions from 2019, largely driven by #datacenter energy demands
According to a Environment Report #2024, 24% of its emissions, or over 3.4B tons, comes from market-based sources, i.e., purchased #electricity.
The popularity of #AI computing is pushing back Google's advancements in its #netzero targets. Google plans to achieve net-zero emissions by #2030, and this massive increase looks like a major setback for the company.
