Why this topic matters
According to the IEA, data centers could consume as much electricity as the Netherlands by 2027. Most of this growth is driven by GenAI. Despite green pledges, data center operators still rely significantly on fossil fuel power—in many regions, over 50% of their energy comes from coal and gas. Understanding your AI's carbon footprint isn't optional—it's a prerequisite to defining solutions.
