预计在预测期内(2024-2031年),环保市场中的人工智慧(AI)复合年增长率将达到17.3%。世界经济论坛表示,人工智慧的使用可以为应对气候变迁做出贡献。现有的人工智慧系统包括预测天气、追踪冰山和识别污染的工具。人工智慧也可用于改善农业并减少其对环境的影响。根据美国环保署的数据,2024 年 2 月,垃圾是甲烷的主要产生者,占全球温室气体 (GHG) 排放量的 16.0%。 Greyparrot AI Ltd. 是一家总部位于英国伦敦的软体新创公司,它开发了一种人工智慧系统,可以分析废物处理和回收设施,以帮助他们回收和循环利用更多的废料。 2022 年,该公司追踪了 67 个废弃物类别的 320 亿件废弃物,平均发现了 86 吨可以回收但正在送往垃圾掩埋场的材料。
AI in Environmental Protection Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Component (Software, and Services), by Deployment (On-Premises, and Cloud), and by Application (Energy Management, Water Management, Carbon Footprints Management, Waste Management, and Others), Forecast Period (2024-2031)
Artificial intelligence (AI) in the environmental protection market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031). According to the World Economic Forum, the use of AI can contribute to the fight against climate change. Existing AI systems include tools that predict the weather, track icebergs, and identify pollution. AI can also be used to improve agriculture and reduce its environmental impact. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, in February 2024, waste is a big producer of methane and is responsible for 16.0% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Greyparrot AI Ltd., a software startup based in London, UK, has developed an AI system that analyzes waste processing and recycling facilities to help them recover and recycle more waste material. The company tracked 32 billion waste items across 67 waste categories in 2022 and it identifies 86 tons of material on average that could be recovered but is being sent to landfill.
Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for AI in Energy Efficiency
By anticipating patterns in energy usage and optimizing energy consumption, artificial intelligence (AI) can assist increasing energy efficiency in buildings and industries. In addition, it can pinpoint regions of energy waste and offer solutions for cutting it down. AI has enormous potential to reduce energy use. Tasks can be automated by intelligent robotics, and early defect detection and quality control can be achieved via machine vision. This reduces emissions, wasteful material use, and needless physical labor. By tracking energy usage, AI creates personalized prediction models that forecast patterns of consumption depending on several characteristics, including occupancy, usage, asset type, weather, and time of day. AI recognizes anomalous deviations instantly by forecasting consumption patterns. For instance, Google's DeepMind has used AI to optimize the cooling systems in its data centers, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Increasing Adoption of AI to Detect Climate Change
By analyzing data on greenhouse gas emissions, weather patterns, and other environmental aspects, AI can contribute to combating climate change. This can assist in informing strategies and policies aimed at cutting emissions and lessening the effects of climate change. The market players assist in the study and prediction of weather patterns and the effects of climate change in a variety of applications, such as climate modeling and weather forecasting. For instance, in November 2023, IBM and NASA are building an AI foundation model for weather and climate. The goal is to improve the speed, accuracy, and accessibility of weather forecasting and other climate applications.
Market Segmentation
Waste Management Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
The waste management segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. The factors supporting segment growth include the growing AI potential for trash management. AI can dramatically lower the amount of waste dumped in landfills and raise the quantity of items recovered for recycling by improving sorting accuracy. AI usage can improve the network of waste material recovery and enhance the sorting operations of recyclable materials. It also contributes towards meeting the goal of clean and compliant recovery, recycling, and disposal of plastic waste.
For instance, in September 2023, SUEZ and its partner Taichu Environmental Resource Management signed a contract to jointly invest in, build, and operate six collection and sorting centers for post-consumer plastics in Eastern China. The joint venture adopts advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and intelligent information systems to deliver a smart, digitalized, and low-carbon recovery system, with end-to-end traceability. These facilities are scheduled to be completed by early 2024 and will be able to collect and sort approximately 30,000 tons of plastic waste per year.
Global AI in the environmental protection market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Growing Demand for AI in Environmental Protection in Europe
North America Holds Major Market Share
The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for sustainable waste management, growing environmental concerns, and the adoption of AI-powered tools to effectively manage carbon emissions in the region. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), in February 2024, Municipal solid waste generation is predicted to grow from 2.1 billion tons in 2023 to 3.8 billion tons by 2050. In 2020, the global direct cost of waste management was estimated at $252 billion. When factoring in the hidden costs of pollution, poor health, and climate change from poor waste disposal practices, the cost rises to $361 billion.
Without urgent action on waste management, by 2050 this global annual cost could almost double to a staggering $640.3 billion. The presence of key players that offer zero waste management platforms that use AI for efficiently managing waste management workflows is further driving regional market growth. For instance, in November 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that Zabble, Inc., in Walnut Creek, Calif., received a $400,000 contract to further the development of a zero waste management platform that uses artificial intelligence.
The major companies serving the AI in environmental protection market include Google LLC, IBM Corp., Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., and Siemens AG. among others. The market players are increasingly focusing on business expansion and product development by applying strategies such as collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to stay competitive in the market.
