Carbon Emissions
Carbon Emissions: Greenhouse gas outputs targeted for reduction in climate initiatives.
Google’s carbon emissions have risen by 51% since 2019, driven by increased datacentre energy demands for AI technologies.
China added 93 gigawatts of solar capacity in May 2025, equivalent to nearly 100 solar panels per second, setting a new global record.
Global energy demand reached a record high of 592 exajoules in 2024, with all major energy sources, including renewables and fossil fuels, growing simultaneously for the first time since 2006.
The Canopée cargo ship, equipped with OceanWings sails, has achieved 99.6% system availability, proving the reliability of wind-assisted propulsion in commercial shipping.
The rapid expansion of AI is driving significant increases in data center energy consumption, water use, and carbon emissions, yet current metrics like PUE fail to capture the full environmental impact.
