💡 The digital world generates massive amounts of heat—let’s use it A major social media company built its new data center in Odense, Denmark, with a system to transfer waste heat to a local heat pump station.

Emissions of carbon dioxide from tech giants, driven by data centers, have reached one third of the entire emissions of France. Microsoft, Amazon, and Google declare that they aim to achieve net-zero emissions, however, their total CO2 emissions have increased over the past year. (translated)
AI must be used to help solve the climate crisis — not deepen it. Its appetite for electricity, water & land is growing fast. AI companies must power data centres with renewable energy by 2030 & disclose their environmental footprint.

I was honoured to deliver the welcome remarks at the afternoon session of the #AIforGood Global Summit! Who should #AI serve? The answer for @Unesco is people. 🌍 Together, we can ensure AI is ethical, inclusive, sustainable, and always serves humanity. @ITU https://t.co/JKf31SSXsv #AIforGood #EthicalAI #SustainableTech #UN #ITU
🌍 Can AI help protect the planet while transforming our societies? The #ResilientAI Challenge winners have shown the answer is yes. @UNESCO-@ucl research shows AI energy use can be cut by up to 90% without sacrificing performance. Smarter AI can also be greener! ♻️ https://t.co/VgynaeRHqP #AIforGood #SustainableTech #GreenAI #Therearenospecificcountryreferencesinthetweetprovided.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Researchers at @michigantech are developing microbial fuel cells that generate electricity from organic matter in seawater. 🌊🔋 The system allows underwater sensors to operate for years using bacteria. 💚Support the Climate Love on @WeDontHaveTime: 👇 https://t.co/GCB2MHHLTC #MicrobialFuelCells #CleanEnergy #SustainableTech #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
A chemistry professor, Grace Han, discovered a promising energy storage system called molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) while adapting to the sun in California, which utilizes DNA-like molecules that change shape when exposed to sunlight to store and release energy efficiently, demonstrating significant potential for sustainable heating solutions. #SolarEnergy #SustainableTechnology #ChemicalResearch #US #CA #ES #DE
