Join the Movement for a 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Future
The science is clear: the urgency of the climate crisis demands bolder action. Decarbonizing electricity is at the center of this challenge, as it is both a major contributor to global emissions (~25%) and a critical tool to drive decarbonization in other sectors such as buildings, transportation, and manufacturing. 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy is a new approach to clean energy that accelerates the decarbonization of electricity systems by enabling organizations to meet their full electricity demand with carbon-free resources - every hour, every day, everywhere. The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact is a global community that provides the support, tools, and partners that organizations need to make this a reality.
The impact of 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy
By enabling 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy for everyone, we can:
- Eliminate reliance on fossil fuels when renewable resources such as solar and wind are not available
- Reduce carbon emissions from electricity grids more than traditional clean energy procurement approaches
- Accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies and enable the retirement of fossil fuel capacity
- Support the electrification of buildings, transportation, and other sectors and ensure they are powered with Carbon-Free Energy
- Improve grid resilience by supporting a broad portfolio of Carbon-Free Energy technologies to provide electricity around the clock
- Focus advocacy efforts on regions where access to Carbon-Free Energy is currently limited due to unfavorable policy or market conditions
- Improve the health and living conditions of the communities that currently bear the brunt of fossil fuel production.
24/7 Carbon-Free Energy in action
"We’re proud to be an early supporter of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact. This Compact will focus the private sector on the right goal: squeezing all the carbon out of the system, and commercializing the full range of technologies necessary to do that."
Armond Cohen, President and Founder
Clean Air Task Force (CATF)
"By establishing Granular Certificates as a recognised, tradeable instrument we can harness consumer demand for 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy to create a price signal that drives investment in the right technologies. The Carbon-Free Energy Compact is playing a critical and central role in driving this consumer demand."
Toby Ferenczi, Founder

“As we take further strides towards grid decarbonization and to a clean energy system, we’re delighted to partner with UN-Energy and Sustainable Energy for All to encourage all stakeholders across the globe to formalize their commitments to helping ensure affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030.”

“Tackling climate change requires government and business to work together with urgency and focus. The Compact is the first collective action group to bring together companies, national and local governments, and other stakeholders to drive innovation and investment in 24/7 carbon-free electricity grids, and we are hopeful that it will facilitate significant progress. Time is not on our side - we need to act now - and we look forward to others joining with Google in our efforts.”
Ruth Porat, CFO
"The world is at a crossroads. We can either continue with business as usual or embrace change that leads to a more sustainable and equitable future. This starts with making the important link between energy and climate. The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact represents a critical partnership across business, countries, cities and others that will propel us closer to our 2030 Global Energy Goals."
