Decarbonisation via AI & IoT Software and Products
Although we believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) shall have a positive effect on the drive towards NetZero emissions there shall be instances where this technology could have a significant detrimental effect on our goal to meet carbon neutrality.
A perfect example of this would be the estimated annual power demand of Bitcoin alone at 143 TWh which is just one of many cryptocurrencies. A recent Citigroup paper estimated there was a 66-fold increase in Bitcoin energy use from 2015 to 2020 and at this growth rate, Bitcoin energy use will soon overtake energy use by the rest of the data centre industry combined.
