Thanks to Google Maps, carbon emissions decreased by 1.2 million tons: Okezone techno

GOOGLE Maps not only help us find addresses, but also provide alternative routes in case of traffic jams. The reason is that Google Maps will help us find the fastest route to our destination.

Thanks to Google Maps, in fact, the carbon emissions produced by cars can be reduced by 1.2 million tons. Because every time you use Google Maps, you will be provided with the best route options, fastest routes and green routes or eco routes.

The ecological path, according to Google, is a path capable of reducing the level of emissions emitted by cars. It’s just that, in Indonesia, green routes are not yet available.

Greenways on Google Maps are only available for the US, Europe and Canada. So, from 2021 to today, Google is confident that it has reduced the level of carbon dioxide emissions by 1.2 million tons.

This was achieved after as many as 250,000 conventional motorists chose the green route every time they used Google Maps. It is believed that this will help the government in its efforts to keep the environment beautiful and green.

Google says that the type of car used is also very influential when using the route. Naturally, electric cars will be the best choice in an effort to reduce car emissions.

Apart from that, Google also knows the character of various car types by this feature. “Diesel cars will be very efficient on high-speed highways, while hybrids will be ideal for low-speed types of roads,” Google said.

While it succeeded in helping drivers save 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, it wasn’t commensurate with the carbon footprint Google generated, according to Carscoops. According to an environmental report in 2022, Google emitted more than 10 million tons of carbon dioxide or the equivalent of 25 gas-fired power plants.

“They still have a long way to go before they reach their desired goal of halving emissions by 2030,” Carscoops said.
