¹To estimate aggregate enabled emissions reductions, we first estimated annual reductions for the products individually (Google Earth Pro, Solar API, fuel-efficient routing, and Green Light) and then combined the totals. For details about the individual calculation methodologies, refer to Google’s 2025 Environmental Report. For equivalencies, we used the "Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator,” U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, November 2024, accessed October 2025.
