Data centers can cut emissions with carbon-aware scheduling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Data centers can reduce their Scope 2 emissions by implementing carbon-aware scheduling, which aligns flexible workloads with periods of lower grid carbon intensity. This practice involves shifting time-sensitive but deferrable tasks, such as AI model training or data backups, to hours when renewable energy sources are more abundant. While challenges exist in predicting workload power draw and renewable availability, operators can begin by instrumenting their systems and leveraging behind-the-meter resources like on-site renewables and battery storage.
