Research from the London School of Economics and Political Science( LSE) and Systemiq shows AI can play a powerful role in the climate transition. By 2035, it found that AI could reduce global emissions by 5.4 GtCO₂e annually, outweighing AI’ s own energy use. However, AI’ s energy needs are not small. According to the International Energy Agency( IEA), data centres consumed around 1.5 % of global electricity in 2024 which could more than double by 2030.
