Really excited to share the results of a sustainable hackathon collaboration with Microsoft’s MAIDAP (Microsoft AI Development Acceleration Programme) team. The Challenge Could the MAIDAP team beat Microsoft Azure’s average carbon intensity in the UK simply by shifting workloads in space and time across the heata network? Read the blog to find out the answer! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXTqiPgm — Big thanks to Aarti Dwivedi, Chester Curme, Derenik Haghverdian, Ph.D., Juhi Paralkar, Natalie Isak, Nick Glaze, Omisa J., and Soundararajan Srinivasan, we were hugely impressed by the capabilities of the team and their enthusiasm for heata’s mission and vision. Thanks also to Jen Fox for facilitating. Chris Jordan, Michael Paisley, Charlie Beharrell. #Heata #GreenCloud #AIforSustainability #FinOps #GreenOps #DistributedComputing

🎥 Meet some the trailblazing businesses leading the way in climate innovation! At The Big Creative UK Summit: Climate Solutions, we interviewed the recipients of the Creative Catalyst Challenge Fund—a bespoke funding initiative by Creative UK & Innovate UK designed to support the R&D of innovative products, systems, and processes that accelerate our journey to Net Zero. 🌱 In these interviews, hear firsthand what these creative SMEs do and how their groundbreaking projects are set to reshape the industry for a sustainable future. Explore their stories and be inspired by their commitment to climate action! Charlie Beharrell | heata Salli Deighton | LaundRE #CreativeClimateSolutions #NetZero #Innovation

🤯 Data centre emissions could be 662% higher than big tech claims. ⚡The International Energy Agency stated that data centres already accounted for 1% to 1.5% of global electricity consumption in 2022 – remember, that was before the #AI boom really kicked off with ChatGPT’s launch at the end of that year. Source: https://lnkd.in/dQuYgvRM ⬆️ The global reliance on #cloud #compute and #data #centres is only going in one direction, and that means more energy. Computers working hard get hot, and at the scale of big data centres this heat needs industrial level cooling solutions, which means (you guessed it) even more energy and water. 👋 Our decentralised network enables smarter use of energy. It takes the heat generated from hot computer chips and turns it into free hot water for UK homes. 🧠 If we think differently about how we build data centre infrastructure, some of its biggest challenges can become opportunities. ✌️ Let’s use energy twice, and use the compute boom to provide heat in society. Now that is a cool idea. Learn more https://hubs.la/Q02Yl2W60

A couple of weeks ago heata supplied 1% of the computing for a live experiment at CERN! 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02YlyQ30 The potential here is huge. In addition to influencing where these workloads are placed today, governments could choose to support the construction of heat reuse compute infrastructure to meet the processing needs of tomorrow. Imagine CERN experiments providing free hot water for homes across the UK for years to come... It’s possible, we could be giving this heat to people, rather than wasting it. At heata we are committed to a smarter energy future, where the waste heat from compute supports the need for heat in society.

Nice to work together on this Karen Gazzard The Ruby Cube Ltd! Your render provided free hot water to UK homes and so the pleasure is all ours!

We're thrilled to be heading to London’s City Hall this Tuesday, 5th November, for The #BigCreativeUKSummit #CreativeClimateSolutions! Our very own Charlie Beharrell will be presenting alongside Robin Chowdhury from dupe vfx and joining an incredible lineup of change makers from the creative world, all with a shared commitment to advancing #NetZero. Supported by the Mayor of London, EIT Culture & Creativity, and hosted by Creative UK, this summit promises to be a powerful half-day of collaboration and innovation.

🌍Looking forward to speaking at The Big Creative UK Summit: Climate Solutions this Tuesday, 5th November, at London’s City Hall! I am presenting with Charlie Beharrell from heata, and together we’ll join inspiring leaders and changemakers in the creative sector, all dedicated to driving progress towards Net Zero. Supported by the Mayor of London, EIT Culture & Creativity, and hosted by Creative UK, the summit will be a half-day of meaningful discussions and showcase groundbreaking solutions from SMEs backed by the Creative Catalyst Challenge Fund. Let’s turn ideas into action! #CreativeClimateSolutions #NetZero #BigCreativeUKSummit

🧠 Buying carbon credits is buying into the problem. #Carbon offsetting is big business, but not so big impact, and it’s giving companies an easy out - ‘We’ve checked the carbon offset box. Job done.’ But it’s also enabling them to check out of thinking critically about the impact of their choices. Here are some key points from a 2023 report in Science Journal: “[we] compared the actual effects of […] projects with measurable baseline values and found that most of them have not reduced deforestation significantly, and those that did had benefits substantially lower than claimed.” "These projects have already been used to offset almost three times more carbon than they have actually mitigated through forest preservation..." "If you exaggerate or get it wrong, intentionally or not, you are selling hot air" - Prof Andreas Kontoleon 💡 Let’s invest in a reduction at source, not an after the event offset. With all the #investment in #infrastructure to support the explosion of #AI (power consumption projected to more than double by 2030), now is the time to be thinking more smartly about how we can build compute infrastructure to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon impact. If we reuse the waste heat we can offset a heating energy cost elsewhere, and avoid a cooling energy cost on the compute side. And by using existing buildings, we can avoid the embodied carbon in building a new data centre, and its broader impacts on power and water. Let’s build more energy efficient infrastructure now, rather than investing in offsets that kick the problem into the long, yellowing grass. 😎 At heata we are doing just that, we reuse our waste heat to support households with free hot water, offsetting a domestic hot water energy cost (an actual bonafide offset we might add). Imagine the UK as a distributed data centre, with the waste heat being used to support the need for heat in society. Wouldn't that be great. 👋 Join the heata revolution today. Don’t just claim to be green. Be green. ✔️ Reduce the carbon impact of your cloud compute & support families with their bills. (ps. You can always offset the remainder, if that makes you feel better.)

📣 heata and Expanso have teamed up to expand green cloud to traditional workloads! 🤝 We're thrilled to announce a new partnership that will enable the high scale open source software #Bacalhau to allow #Docker and #WASM workloads to run in a distributed way across the heata network to cut carbon and help people in fuel poverty. Once set-up workloads can be deployed directly from the Bacalhau CLI. ⚡ Through this partnership, heata and Expanso are providing organisations with an easier and more cost effective way to improve the efficiency of their compute, whilst also increasing reliability and reducing job runtime. Together, these innovations enable a cloud infrastructure with superior energy efficiency and carbon accountability, as well as lowering heating costs for households across the UK. 💬 Here is some of what heata Co-Founder and CTO Chris Jordan and Expanso CEO David Aronchick had to say about this exciting new partnership.
