🔍This was bec of increased #emissions from #fossilgas plants. In 8 months, gas-fired plants set record in emissions (5.79 million tons) & average #carbonintensity was 255.5 g CO2/kWh. Without #RES #curtailments during this period (1,616 GWh), average carbon intensity would have been 234.8 g CO2/kWh.

3ºC by 2050 - An historical perspective that’s hard to fault A new study examines GHG sources and regional contributions since 1820 then looks at the conflicting targets of economic growth and the Paris Goals. They suggest +3ºC by 2050. Is that possible?

A recent paper examined the 200 year story of greenhouse gas emissions and based on projected GDP growth suggested the world could pass +3ºC by 2050. Is that even possible?

⚠️ In May 2025, the #carbonintensity of #powergeneration fell to a 10-year low (214 g CO2/kWh) due to rise of #renewables.
Total #emissions from the sector increased by 9% compared to April, reaching 0.96 million tons, due to the surge in #gas use.

TPUs improved carbon-efficiency of AI workloads by 3x | Google Cloud Blog A new study finds that TPU hardware has seen a 3x improvement in the carbon-efficiency of AI workloads from TPU v4 to Trillium.

New metric by Google Cloud: Compute #CarbonIntensity (CCI) — which quantifies an #AI accelerator chip’s carbon emissions per unit of computation (measured in grams of CO2e per Exa-FLOP). Lower CCI scores mean lower emissions. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...
