41: Earth Week Special - Carbon Explorer with Bilge

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For our second special for Earth Week, we are talking to Bilge who works as a research scientist at Meta AI. Her open-source project Carbon Explorer evaluates solutions to make data centres operate on 24/7 renewable energy. Why this is easier said than done and how engineers can help within their day-to-day work to reduce their carbon footprint are among the many things Pascal and Bilge discuss in this episode.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Got feedback?
