@camwilson Do you/we/anyone know whether there are mandatory requirements to make use of the low quality waste heat from them? It may require deliberate choice to co-locate the data centres where waste heat usage can be facilitated.
e.g. pre-heating for adjacent industrial processes, district heating

In a referendum, the citizens of #Hamburg decided their city should become fully #carbonneutral by 2040 (rather than 2045).
Also, there will have to be binding limits on #greenhousegas #emissions.

A new study in Communications Materials used #AI to scan over 1 million rock samples worldwide — searching for natural materials that could replace clinker in #cement and significantly cut global CO₂ emissions.
📄 https://doi.org/10.1038/s43246-025-00820-4
Among the most promising sources? Volcanic and sedimentary rocks like rhyolite, tuff, pumice, and andesite — many of which are found in #Ukraine especially in the Carpathians and other geologically active zones.

I have long thought of carbon offsetting as just businesses contracting out the lying so they can claim to be #CarbonNeutral with plausible deniability for when they are found out to be not so.

Forget #carbonneutral, Northwestern develops #carbonNEGATIVE #concrete
Using a combination of seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO2), scientists at Chicago‘s Northwestern University Engineering have developed a new building material that goes beyond reducing emissions. The new material acts like concrete, but actively captures CO2 that’s already in the air and locks it away. Permanently.

Federal and most provincial #CarbonPricing for consumers is now dead in Canada. Murdered by the simplistic #AxetheTax chorus led by the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Unfortunately many Canadians never did understand the program. Also many people did understand it and knew that they were paying more for #fossilfuels unless they adopted #carbonneutral transport, heating, etc. This video from @thenarwhal is helpful to understand some of the issues. https://youtu.be/FP_tJlotgBk?feature=shared

January 2025 was brutal cold here. We used 3.6MWh in just that one month!
The kWh bank is down to ~700kWh, but spring is near and we're starting to produce more than we consume once again.

What happens to the world if #forests stop absorbing #carbon? Ask #Finland
#NaturalSinks of forests and #peat were key to Finland’s ambitious target to be #CarbonNeutral by 2035. But now, the land has started emitting more #GreenhouseGases than it stores
"The number of dying trees also increased in recent years as forests are stressed by #drought and high temperatures. In south-east Finland, the number of dying trees has risen rapidly, increasing 788% in just six years between 2017 and 2023, and the amount of standing deadwood – decaying trees – is up by about 900%."
by Patrick Greenfield, Inari, Finland
"Tiina Sanila-Aikio cannot remember a summer this warm. The months of midnight sun around #Inari, in Finnish Lapland, have been hot and dry. Conifer needles on the branch-tips are orange when they should be a deep green. The moss on the forest floor, usually swollen with water, has withered.
"'I have spoken with many old #ReindeerHerders who have never experienced the heat that we’ve had this summer. The sun keeps shining and it never rains,' says Sanila-Aikio, former president of the #FinnishSami parliament.
"The #BorealForests here in the #Sami homeland take so long to grow that even small, stunted trees are often hundreds of years old. It is part of the #Taiga – meaning “land of the little sticks” in Russian – that stretches around the far northern hemisphere through #Siberia, #Scandinavia, #Alaska and #Canada.
"It is these forests that helped underpin the credibility of the most ambitious carbon-neutrality target in the developed world: Finland’s commitment to be #CarbonNeutral by 2035.
"The law, which came into force two years ago, means the country is aiming to reach the target 15 years earlier than many of its EU counterparts.
"In a country of 5.6 million people with nearly 70% covered by forests and peatlands, many assumed the plan would not be a problem.
"For decades, the country’s forests and peatlands had reliably removed more carbon from the atmosphere than they released. But from about 2010, the amount the land absorbed started to decline, slowly at first, then rapidly. By 2018, Finland’s land sink – the phrase scientists use to describe something that absorbs more carbon than it releases – had vanished."

Imagine if one of the Rules/Regulations of #SafeAI were that they had to be #CarbonNeutral at every step of their existence. Need more compute? Build more solar/wind. No carbon credits, none of that. Actual real capacity to power the machines that power your technology.

My home town, Ithaca NY, took a bold step in 2019 and set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 - five years later, the reality of achieving this has settled in, but they're still finding ways to make it happen...

Interesting read on Jigsaw farms in Western Victoria attempt to go #carbonNeutral. Soil #sequestration maxxed out, trees now older sequester less CO2. Reducing animal methane with seaweed additives needed. We need these farm solutions but we also need to move to a more plant based diet as IPCC highlighted

The Isle of #Eigg: The #communityowned island that powers itself
By Hugh Tucker
31st October 2023"Eigg is one of a collection of islands in the Scottish Inner Hebrides called the Small Isles. It lies 15 miles from the mainland and is reliant on a ferry that runs a few times a week, weather dependent, for supplies and transport. As such, waste isn't an option here and #sustainability is a necessity.
"'Sustainability has always been a part of island and crofting life here,' explained Norah Barnes, Scottish Wildlife Trust ranger on Eigg. 'You're a bit more aware of what you're using. You can't just go to a shop down the road to get something. Everything that we want, we literally have to lift off the boat.'
"Combined, the Small Isles of Eigg, #Canna, #Sanday, #Rùm and #Muck have a population of just 150-200 people. Measuring five miles by three, Eigg is the second largest in size but by far the most populous with around 110 residents, and this has helped to foster a community that has collectively been able to take charge of the future of the island.
"Launched in 2008, Eigg was the world's first community to launch an #offgrid electric system powered by #wind, #water and #solar. The three systems complement each other so that almost any #weather condition is conducive to producing electricity. To ensure supply, there are still backup generators, but the overwhelming majority comes from #renewable sources. 'How much #renewables we use varies depending on the weather, but we've done as much as 90%,' Fyffe explained.
"The benefits of the new renewable system have been numerous. Before, the island was reliant on diesel generators, which Barnes explained was a logistical headache. 'You had to get the diesel shipped over, decant it into barrels, get the barrels to your house and fill up your generator. It was a massive job. Using renewable energy has improved things a lot for people's daily lives as well as the environment.'
"It's also a step towards self-sufficiency, and, with the global energy crisis pushing prices up around the world, Fyffe described how it's helped protect the island from the increased cost of living. 'To begin with, our unit charge was higher than the mainland, but we're probably cheaper now. We put it up slightly from time to time, but we haven't done this the last couple of years as it's been so tough for everyone.'
"The island isn't resting on its laurels. Eigg is continuing to work towards becoming more sustainable. 'We're involved with another feasibility study looking at how we could become #CarbonNeutral,' Fyffe said. 'We're hoping to build a house and renovate the old doctor's surgery for rent, and we're going to trial air source heat pumps [running off the electricity grid] to see how efficient they are. Then, people can move in that direction. We'd need more supply for this, probably three big turbines, although this is early days.'"

I just read this interesting blog post by Ecosia!
That a company is #CarbonNeutral or #ClimateNeutral is not enough – I think companies should focus more on making good things in the world (increase their positive #handprint), so not only on how they can do things less bad (reduce the negative #footprint ).
"When thinking about businesses, we need to start asking a new question: how much of their profits do they dedicate to tackling the #ClimateCrisis ?"
