With the use of artificial intelligence, companies can reduce total greenhouse gas emissions from 5% to 10% by 2030, which correspond between 2.6 and 5.3 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Paris Agreement and also the post-Covid recovery.
Boston Consulting Group (Bcg) estimates this in the report 'Reduce carbon and costs with the power of AI'. By integrating AI, the study explains, companies can also achieve an overall impact between 1.3 and 2.6 trillion dollars of value, through additional revenue and cost savings.
"The great strength of artificial intelligence lies in the ability to learn from experience by exploiting massive amounts of data collected from different sources and to be able to synthesize relationships for humans, sometimes extremely difficult to understand, with the aim of supporting decision making processes - says Roberto Ventura, Managing Director and Partner of Bcg Gamma - AI can provide ideas to improve the efficiency of the various business processes, reducing emissions and cutting costs.
It can play a fundamental role in supporting companies in the fight against climate change, in particular in the sectors relating to transport, industrial and pharmaceutical goods, and the energy sector ". (HANDLE).
