数据中心抵消了过去 15 年美国的减排努力

Sierra Club 的分析显示，到 2030 年美国电力行业的二氧化碳排放量可能达到 21 亿公吨，比 2025 年的水平高出约 42%。这一预计增幅将抵消过去 15 年电力行业在减排上取得的成果。随着数据中心对资源的需求持续增长，AI 基础设施的电力需求正以清洁能源电网无法跟上的速度快速增长。为绕过缓慢的公用电网接入排队流程，部分科技公司建设了主要依赖化石燃料的自备发电设施。到 2030 年由数据中心开发商建设或委托建设的离网发电设施每年可能产生逾 4.6 亿公吨的二氧化碳，大致相当于墨西哥全年的碳排放量。

Data centres offset the last 15 years of U.S. efforts to reduce emissions.

Sierra Club ' s analysis suggests that CO2 emissions from the United States electricity sector could reach 2.1 billion metric tons by 2030, approximately 42 per cent higher than the level in 2025. This projected increase will offset the gains made in the electricity sector in reducing emissions over the past 15 years. As the demand for resources in the data centres continues to grow, the electricity demand for AI infrastructure is growing rapidly at a rate that the clean energy grid cannot keep up with. To bypass slow public grid access queuing processes, some technology companies have built their own power generation facilities that rely mainly on fossil fuels. By 2030, off-grid power facilities, built or commissioned by data centre developers, could generate more than 460 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, roughly equivalent to the carbon emissions of Mexico throughout the year.
