in a Taiwanese solar company with plans to build a 1 gigawatt pipeline of sustainable energy in the region. The company is placing a stake in New Green Power , part of BlackRock’s investment portfolio, for the project. The move could help Google and Taiwan move closer to their climate goals while stabilizing green energy production in one of the most crucial semiconductor hubs of our new.
Google expects to use up to 300 megawatts of solar capacity to power its data centers in Taiwan. In addition, Peterson Corio says the company “may offer a portion of this clean energy capacity to semiconductor suppliers and manufacturers in the region.” She said that would help its partners meet their green energy goals and reduce indirect emissions from Google’s supply chain partners.
“A significant share of our Scope 3 footprint can be traced back to the electricity grids that power our suppliers and users, which is why broad decarbonization — and partnerships like this — continue to be core to our net-zero goal,” Peterson Corio wrote.
