The tech giant will do more than offset its emissions
Before Google can rely completely on carbon-free energy, it will need to overcome some technological hurdles. It will need more and better batteries to store and supply energy when the sun doesn’t shine and winds come to a halt. It also says it’s figuring out how to use AI to forecast the company’s electricity demand and become more energy efficient. In the US, the country’s aging energy grid needs to be updated to better accommodate renewable energy, too.
Because it’s figuring out how to meet those challenges, Google says its commitment to end its reliance on fossil fuels could pave the way for other companies to do the same. It believes its environmental efforts will create 12,000 jobs by 2025. Google is also considering turning to nuclear energy, which isn’t considered renewable since it involves mining uranium and. But advanced nuclear energy is supported by some environmentalists because it doesn’t create carbon dioxide emissions.
