Google's 2025 Sustainability Report uncovers a noteworthy surge in its carbon emissions, with "targeted emissions" hitting 11.5 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2024. This represents an 11% increase year-on-year and a significant 51% jump from the 2019 baseline. The primary driver behind this growth is the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence, which has led to a comprehensive rise in energy consumption. Despite witnessing a decrease in carbon emissions from data centers, the escalating energy demand fueled by the expansion of AI technology presents a formidable challenge for Google in its efforts to curb emissions.
