Google Accelerates AI Sustainability with Nuclear Power and Superpollutant Offsets
Google is investing in advanced nuclear energy and targeting superpollutant emissions to power its AI operations with 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030.
To meet the growing energy demands of AI and achieve its goal of 24/7 carbon-free operations by 2030, Google is investing in three U.S.-based advanced nuclear projects utilizing small modular reactors, each generating at least 600 MW of electricity. In parallel, the company is partnering with organizations like Recoolit and Cool Effect to eliminate over 25,000 tons of potent greenhouse gases, such as methane and HFCs, equating to the impact of 1 million tons of CO₂. These initiatives are part of Google’s broader strategy to lead in sustainable innovation by combining reliable, zero-carbon power with aggressive climate action. Read more.
