Le Monde: Digital sector responsible for 3.4% of annual greenhouse gas emmissions, study finds
In 2023, the digital industry accounted for 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, equating to about 3,500 kilometers driven per user. The study by GreenIT highlights that AI servers alone contributed 4% of these emissions, while end-user devices were responsible for nearly 40% of the total impact.
The report notes that the methodology has changed since 2019, preventing direct comparisons. It also emphasizes that France's electricity production is significantly less polluting than the global average, which may skew the relevance of these figures for French users.
