Global emissions due to AI-related chipmaking grew more than four times in 2024

A pair of work, analyzing the impact of the EU’s planet, was released and the news is quite miserable. Greenpeace Found and found one of the production of semiconductors used in AI chips Four-fold increase in 2024. This analysis is completed using open data.

Many large chips such as NVIDIA, Taiwanese Semiconducktor Production Co and SK Hynix Inc. of GPU and memory sections such as SK Hynix Inc. The majority of this production is where in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, primarily on the fossil fuel in Japan. This is accounts for an increase in part of global emissions. The organization also says that global electricity requirements for the EU can exceed 170 times by 2030.

Greenpeace’s estimates worried some of the AI ​​race could disrupt the global decarbonization goals. . Non-profit recommends that governments in East Asia switch to the transition to a renewable force for the production of chips, but also seems to be seen. South Korea for gas-powered electricity production. Taiwan used the demand for liquefied natural gas projects and network infrastructure from the growing force associated with the AI ​​as an excuse to expand.

Another study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) . Energy consumption of AI-adjacent information centers took into account half of the electricity demand for 2030. In fact, the US economy can be on the way to consume more electricity to combine all energy intensive goods. This includes aluminum, steel, cement and chemicals.

Electricity demand from global data centers can be twice as much as 945 teravatt-clock (TWH) by 2030. This is more than . This is 30 times more .

The EU supporters say that the mass energy needs will end, because technology leads to scientific discoveries that accelerate innovations in areas such as technology and . But perhaps a big butter.
