Google introduced its new initiatives at the first Sustainability Summit, which brought together the industry’s leading change-makers to explore the latest strategies and tools to tackle innovation challenges. in the climate.
Among the new initiatives, Google announced a set of tools, including a new version of Google Earth Engine, aimed at customers. This tool used to be available only to scientists and NGOs. It will give companies access to data to create visualizations that can show the impact of the company’s raw material use in a particular area and globally.
Rebecca Moore, the Director of geospatial initiatives at Google, says that this will help companies see their real-time impact on the environment.
“It integrates data from hundreds of satellites and other sources continuously flowing into the Earth Engine. This data is then combined with large geospatial cloud computing resources, which are able to transform this raw data into timely, accurate, high-resolution, decision-relevant insights about the state of the world. This may include forests, water, ecosystems, agriculture and how all of these change over time. .
“With the power of Google Cloud, and the intelligence of Google Earth Engine, we are helping companies responsibly manage natural resources while also building sustainable business practices,” he added.
The company also announced a goal to be completely carbon-energy-free by 2030. To track this, they use the 24/7 carbon-free energy insights program, which the company makes available to customers in a pilot program. Maud Texier, the head of energy development at Google, says that this program is about all companies working together to help move away from carbon energy.
“24/7 is about awakening a movement of organizations that have an interest in the grids where they operate. The bigger picture goal is to decarbonize the use of electricity for everyone and for good. So over the last 10 years, and together with our partners, we have collected insights and knowledge about how to move your business towards a carbon-free energy future,” said Texier.
The company also launched a dedicated IAM (integrated access model) role for the carbon footprint. This will allow non-Google Cloud users to access and track emissions data.
These are great initiatives by Google, and we hope companies use them to help reduce their role in climate change and help save the planet!
