According to the U.S. Department of Energy, data centers consume anywhere from 10 to 50 times more energy than a typical commercial building and account for about 2% of total U.S. electricity consumption. As a result of AI, demand for energy is expected to nearly double or even triple in the next few years.

A recent study presents a radiative transfer model-driven machine learning technique for retrieving carbon monoxide from the world's first hyperspectral Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard Fengyun-4B (FY-4B) satellite,

AI's energy consumption is growing, but demand for more power is also coming from manufacturing and electric cars.

The U.S. simply does not have enough labor or materials needed to prepare its infrastructure for an uncertain future, writes Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost.

Chip designer Nvidia, which skyrocketed into one of the most valuable companies in the world this year, has also ramped up efforts to become more energy efficient. Its next-generation AI chip, Blackwell, unveiled in March, has been marketed as being twice as fast as its predecessor, Hopper, and significantly more energy efficient.

Liquid cooling, renewable diesel, and a host of infrastructure changes make Amazon's cloud service four times more efficient than on-premise computing, the company explains at re:Invent.

The hyperscaler signed a deal with Orbital Materials and made infrastructure updates to boost data center sustainability and energy efficiency.

PBC announced that they have signed a multi-year, seven-figure deal with Laconic, a company leading a global shift in climate

Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about Earth, today announced that they have signed a multi-year, seven-figure deal with Laconic, a company leading a global shift in climate finance,

AI’s surging power demand has put several Big Tech firms at risk of blowing through their climate commitments. But Amazon has partnered with Orbital, an AI startup, to test a new material that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — and they’re using an AWS data center as a first site.
