A significant shift in the carbon credits landscape! Driven by the rise of AI and increased emissions, Google is now prioritising truly restorative carbon credits over cheap offsetting strategies. This is a major boost for CDR carbon credits and a promising step towards genuine climate action. #CarbonCredits #Google #CDR #ClimateAction Read more in the Google Sustainability Report 2024 - https://lnkd.in/efXwaeg9

So, the ultimate question here: IS AI the big driver of increasing emissions that we need to fix; or the magic bullet leading us to sustainability? Any thoughts⁉
I am proud to share Google's 2024 Environmental Report, which highlights our commitment to sustainability and the strategic use of AI to drive climate action. This year’s report showcases significant advancements and acknowledges the important and challenging work ahead. Key highlights include: -AI for Sustainability: We've optimized energy use, predicted extreme weather, and enabled carbon reductions. Our AI-powered fuel-efficient routing has enabled 2.9 million metric tons of GHG emissions reductions, equivalent to removing 650,000 cars from the road. -Clean Energy Initiatives: We’ve achieved at least 90% carbon-free energy in 10 grid regions and maintained a global average of 64% carbon-free energy despite our increased electricity load. We also contracted 4 GW of clean energy generation capacity, more than in any prior year. -Water Stewardship: We've nearly doubled our water replenishment portfolio and replenished an estimated 1 billion gallons of water, tripling our progress toward our water replenishment goal. -Circular Economy: We achieved 100% plastic-free packaging for Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable product design. Our journey toward a sustainable future is driven by innovation and collaboration. While we celebrate these milestones, we also recognize the challenges ahead and our commitment to transparency and improvement. Explore our full report to learn more about our initiatives and progress: https://lnkd.in/g4nBssnD A huge thank you to our dedicated sustainability team and partners for their relentless efforts. Looking forward to continuing this important work together. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #AIforGood #RenewableEnergy

Today we released our @Google's 2024 Environmental Report, highlighting our efforts to leverage AI for climate action and to operate our business sustainably. This year's report showcases significant progress: 7 consecutive years of a 100% renewable energy match, contracts signed for 4 GW of clean energy, 10 grid regions achieved at least 90% carbon-free energy, a tripling of our water replenishment progress, and 100% plastic-free packaging for Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. We're also proud of our innovative AI-powered solutions—like fuel-efficient routing in Google Maps, which has enabled 2.9 million metric tons of GHG emissions reductions, and Flood Hub, which accurately predicts riverine flooding to help protect livelihoods in over 80 countries up to 7 days in advance. The report also acknowledges the challenges ahead, including the growing energy demands of AI and the need for systemic change to decarbonize our operations and value chain. We're committed to addressing these challenges head-on, through continued investment in carbon-free energy, responsibly managing AI’s environmental impact, and partnering across industries, organizations, and governments. We’re committed to collaboration and playing our part, every step of the way.

Enthusiastic about sustainability ✔️ wood construction & wood-based products ✔️ Marketing-oriented M.Sc in Wood Tech. ✔️ Sustainability Manager @WISA Plywood UPM ✔️ Helsinki & Amsterdam
When we talk about carbon emissions and emissions all in all, we easily think about cars or flying during the holidays. Maybe about energy sources when putting the cattle on. At least I did still few years back. Now times have changed... 🧐 Artificial intelligence is on the tip of everyone's tongue at the moment but it might come as a surprise, how much emissions e.g. the development of AI creates. Not saying that AI or Google services ain't needed but it's worthy to notice the cost on the environment. ❗Latest climate report by Google shows that the overall emissions by the company increased from last year by 13% resulting in an overwhelming 14,3 million tons of CO2 equivalent. Mostly due to the datacenters' energy consumption and supply chain emissions. That's 14 300 000 000 kgco2e. In comparison: Whole Finland's emissions (2020) were 48 300 000 000 kgco2e = appr. 3 x Google's (stat.fi). Similar emissions of one m3 of spruce plywood is about 140 kgco2e while storing over 5 times the amount of carbon throughout it's life (WISA Plywood). 👣 The emissions from transportation and construction sector can be seen with a naked eye, but the hidden stuff cooking under the bonnet is caused by your Instagram. Simplified? I know. Sources in the comments.
