""We've seen increased interest in carbon removal because of the buildout of data centers," said Giana Amador, founding executive director of the Carbon Removal Alliance."
""Carbon removal is quite attractive because the technology doesn't have to be built alongside a data center project, Amador said in a recent interview. "They can purchase it as an offset.""
"The deal with Climeworks will help the company offset additional emissions by 2040."
"Clients are asking for sustainability strategies that are measurable, operational, and effective in addressing their carbon footprints."
NTT Data Group has entered into an agreement to buy carbon removal credits from Climeworks, potentially providing a few hundred thousand tons over a decade. This partnership is notable as it represents a trend within the AI industry towards carbon removal solutions. The deal is seen as a response to increasing interest in sustainability, particularly due to the expansion of data centers. NTT Data aims to achieve zero emissions from its data centers by 2030 and will use the Climeworks deal to offset additional emissions by 2040.
