| Google only wants to use renewable energy |
Google CEO told Reuters: By 2030, the search giant's goal is to provide renewable energy only to data centers and offices. This makes Google the largest company in the world dedicated to ditching coal and natural gas.
As Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has said, the "expansion goal" requires Google to exceed industry technical standards to offset carbon emissions from its use of electricity, and that requires breakthroughs. Techniques and guidelines for achieving this goal.
"The problem is so serious that many of us need to take the initiative and find solutions," Pichai said. "We are young participants in this area, but we can be an example."
Pichai said the wildfires that have raged in the western United States since this month have raised public awareness of climate change. In addition to its product features, Google also hopes to gain more visibility with its new goals.
Last year, wind, solar and other renewable energy sources accounted for 61% of Google's global electricity consumption per hour.
The ratio varies from installation to installation. There is no single carbon source that can supply 96% of Oklahoma's data center's energy needs per hour, while Singapore's dependence on natural gas is only 3%.
However, Google uses slightly more energy globally than residents and companies in the state of Lahua each year. He became optimistic that he could use emerging resources such as batteries to store solar energy, geothermal storage tanks, and increase energy demand. Good management to fill this void.
Pichai said, "If we want to run our business globally in order to make it climate neutral, we face huge logistical challenges. That's why we've worked hard to design a model for how to achieve this goal over the past year. It's reasonable, and we think we can achieve this goal by 2030."
Google's main competitors, including Microsoft and Amazon, are looking to remove more carbon from the atmosphere compared to emissions over the next few decades, but none of its overall goals is to block access to it. Energy is carbon based.
The company has a common goal, and it is to encourage the company and the government to reduce climate pollution by 2030. Scientists say that global warming could be catastrophic if not controlled.
Over the past decade, Google has inspired others in the US and Europe, but its current efforts are expected to spur action in polluted regions such as China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Google has achieved carbon neutrality since 2007, which means that Google has planted trees in its resource-rich sites and funded a number of wind energy projects to offset the exploitation of coal and natural gas in other areas. .
The company said estimated emissions between 1998 and 2006 were met with 1 million tons. "Google will continue to offset carbon emissions that are not related to energy consumption, such as employee travel."
