Developing economies are expected to account for the bulk of new energy demand in the coming years. Many of those regions also have the most #polluting power plants, making them the highest-impact places to build new #renewable energy.

DYK: A solar plant’s location has everything to do with its #climate impact? . WattTime’s Laura Corso will be at @sxsw with @clearloopUS and @Rivian to talk about just how much location matters for #renewables.

A new report from @McKinsey finds that not only does an emissionality-based approach to RE procurement reduce more #emissions, but it also expands renewables more cost-effectively (i.e. faster) compared to an hourly-matching approach to procurement.

Time-shifting that load explicitly to reduce #emissions can be done every day of the year and that can make an even bigger impact on reducing #GHG emissions and other pollution. Learn more here:

If those flexible loads cut their usage at key times it could prevent some fossil fuel plants from being built – great! . Classic demand response (DR) tech can do this in just several hours a year, but what will that flexibility be used for in the other 8,700+ hours each year?.

A new paper from the @NichInstitute says that if new loads are flexible, US #grids can serve more (up to 100 GW) w/o building new capacity. But how much does this help the #climate?.

More than a half-billion people in Africa live without #electricity, but this major project aims to change that.

WattTime’s @camfassett writes all about the emissions risks of #AI and how we can use marginal emissions data to greatly decrease or avoid the climate burden of data centers in our new blog:

In addition, where we build data centers matters, and using marginal emissions data to decide where to build can reduce the emissions of a new data center by as much as 50%.

Building new renewables on grids with the highest marginal #emissions rates has the potential to avoid more than 3x the emissions compared to co-locating renewables on the same grid as the new #datacenter.

If new US data centers are powered just by natural gas, they could add an extra 180Mt of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. We can avert that #climate burden with a few simple strategies. Obviously, it starts with #renewables. But, there’s more to consider, and that is LOCATION.

Catch WattTime’s CPO @nagutron at #GreenBiz25 next week! @trellisgroup_ . This packed session will dive into the practical applications of #AI for supply chain #decarbonization - something free tools like @ClimateTRACE have made easier than ever. 🔗

And if you need a primer on the nuances of #GHG accounting, check out this brief from @GHGprotocol:

One slight tweak could help that money flow toward where it will do more good for the world. Learn more in this paper in Carbon Management by @RBallentine:

The outdated way that #GHGaccounting is used impedes #climate progress, leading companies to think they are doing more good than they are.

Our partners @amazon are supporting global #climate equity with smart procurement. “By targeting areas with the most carbon-intensive grids, the company is accelerating the global transition to renewable energy and driving meaningful environmental change.”.
