In this session, we’ll show how CarbonRunner shifts compute workloads in real-time to regions with the lowest CO₂ intensity—cutting emissions by up to 90%, reducing cloud costs, and improving resilience without disrupting developer workflows.
As 83% of data centres are located in regions with high grid carbon intensity. Compute makes up 60% of a data centre’s power demand—the rest is cooling. With global data centre power consumption set to double by 2030.
We’ll use live maps, real-time grid data, and production metrics to show how climate-conscious compute can be cheaper, cleaner, and more sovereign. From cost savings to climate wins, discover how smart workload shifting rewrites the economics—and emissions profile—of cloud computing.
In this talk we want to highlight the Problem, Solution and Learnings & Metrics we’ve gathered so far from shifting the world’s compute. This includes:
- Using live maps, we expose how common workloads unknowingly spike emissions by running in carbon-heavy regions—regardless of cloud provider.
- The CarbonRunner Approach: A single-line integration that shifts CI/CD and batch workloads dynamically to cleaner energy regions—cutting emissions by up to 90% while reducing cloud bills.
- Learnings & Metrics: Real production numbers: jobs shifted, tonnes of CO₂ saved, and money saved—plus practical trade-offs when balancing cost, carbon, and speed.
- More Resilient Cloud Operations: How dynamic shifting reduces load on stressed regions, improves redundancy, and builds resilience into your infrastructure.
- Built-in Data Sovereignty: Developers and teams retain control—choose clouds, countries, or even green energy thresholds to meet compliance and sovereignty goals.
- Not Just the Big 3: Works across hyperscalers and alternative clouds—because true sustainability means moving beyond just AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- ESG Dashboards: ready for you enterprise teams showing the impact of your GitHub Actions and savings of shifting them.
Expect a highly visual, data-driven session that proves you can cut cloud emissions and costs today, using existing infrastructure smarter—not by waiting for next-gen hardware or distant green pledges.
