Alphabet Inc.'s Google has unveiled ambitious plans to power its data centers and offices with 100% renewable energy around the clock. The company aims to achieve this goal by 2030, making it one of the first major corporations to commit to 24/7 renewable energy.
To reach this target, Google will invest in new renewable energy infrastructure, including solar panels and wind turbines. The company will also develop advanced energy storage technologies and implement AI-powered energy management systems to optimize energy usage.
Google's sustainability efforts extend beyond renewable energy. The company has also pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 50% and to create more sustainable supply chains.
This announcement builds on Google's existing commitment to sustainability, which includes matching 100% of its annual electricity consumption with renewable energy purchases since 2017. By pushing the boundaries of what's possible in renewable energy, Google aims to inspire other companies and governments to follow suit.
