Google's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased 13 percent year-on-year in 2023, to approximately 14.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). This represents a rise of almost 50 percent when compared to the company's 2019 baseline levels. One of the main contributors to the tech giant's rising emissions has been the growth in energy demand due to artificial intelligence (AI). Google has set the target of reaching net-zero emissions across all of its operations and value chain by 2030.
