Google has invested in Taiwan’s New Green Power, a BlackRock-owned solar company, to access renewable energy and reduce its carbon footprint. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, this move aligns with the growing pressure from investors on big tech companies to be more sustainable. While Google strives for carbon-free energy use globally, the increasing energy demands of the tech giant’s data centres for training artificial intelligence-based chatbots are a challenge.
