A yellow and white graphic titled "WEBINAR ALERT: Navigating the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Scope 2 Public Comment Period." Three headshots are centered for Chandni Sinha Das, Impact Accounting Manager, Gavin McCormick, Executive Director, and Henry Richardson, Senior Analyst of WattTime. Wednesday, January 14th, 10 am PT, 1 pm ET.
An image of a solar farm is the background, a yellow text box with black text says "Prairie Solar will displace about 27% more carbon emissions in Illinois VS. if it was built near Akamai HQ, in Cambridge, MA."
A meme of Bernie Sanders standing in the cold has text that says "I am once again asking you to update the Scope 2 accounting standards to reflect real-world emissions impacts"
Line graph titled “Global monthly GHG emissions: power (Jan 2021 – Mar 2025)” showing emissions trends for ten sectors, with the Power sector consistently the highest emitter (around 1,200–1,400 million tonnes CO₂e/month). Other sectors include Manufacturing, Fossil Fuel Operations, Transportation, Agriculture, Buildings, Waste, Fluorinated Gases, and Mineral Extraction. Power and several other sectors show seasonal fluctuations. Source: Climate TRACE data version 4.3.0 (released May 2025).
Split graphic showing Meta’s clean energy performance in 2023 using two methodologies. Top section titled “Hourly Matching results” includes a bar chart showing Meta’s Clean Energy (CFE) scores by grid region, ranging from 56% to 100%, with a 79% global average. Bottom section titled “Carbon Matching results” shows a bar chart comparing: 8.12 million tonnes CO₂e from data center induced emissions, 7.35 million tonnes CO₂e avoided through clean energy, 770,000 tonnes CO₂e net emissions. The charts illustrate regional variability in clean energy use and the emissions impact of Meta's clean energy procurement.
Graphic explaining the formula for calculating real-world emissions impacts of electricity use. It reads: "Formula for calculating real-world emissions impacts of electricity use: Emissions Reduction = Load Reduction × ( ω × Build Margin + (1−ω) × Operating Margin )." The image features WattTime’s logo at the bottom.
An image of wind turbines in a green field with blue skies. A vertical yellow line anchors text on the left side of the graphic. A quote, "Instead of picking sides in the debate over which dataset is best, the working group is building an open, standardized framework for testing any marginal emissions model." a logo for VERACI-T.
A hiring announcement from WattTime featuring a photograph of four diverse team members in a meeting, smiling and engaged in discussion. The image is framed by a bright yellow border with bold text at the top reading 'WORK WITH US.' Below, the job opening is listed as 'Senior Analyst (Abatement, Climate TRACE)' in a yellow box. The WattTime logo appears at the bottom.
An image of two smoke stacks from a power plant shows a steam or emissions plume. Over the plume text says "Introducing VERACI-T" in bold lettering. "Validating emissions rates for accurate consequential impact taskforce"
A promotional graphic for a talk at SXSW titled 'Location Matters: Optimizing America's Energy Transition – The story of one emissionality project.' The background features an aerial view of solar panels installed in neat rows with green vegetation between them. The graphic highlights key statistics: '3,000 homes to access clean electricity annually' and '1 BN pounds of carbon emissions avoided.' The text is black on a white background, with yellow accents for emphasis.
A promotional graphic for SXSW 2025 featuring Laura Corso as a speaker. The design has a yellow and black color scheme with a circular headshot of Laura Corso at the top. Her title, "VP, Strategic Growth," is displayed below her name. The event details are listed: "Location Matters: Optimizing America’s Energy Transition," scheduled for Saturday, March 9, from 2:30 to 3:30 PM at the Hilton Austin, Downtown, Salon A. The SXSW 2025 logo is positioned at the bottom.
Alt text: A bar chart titled "Emission abatement for battery array scenarios, metric tons of CO₂ per year," comparing three battery management strategies: "24/7 power matching," "Economic optimization," and "Emission optimization." The "24/7 power matching" scenario has a small gray bar indicating emissions ranging from -10 to 12 metric tons. The "Economic optimization" scenario has a dark blue bar showing 179 metric tons of CO₂ abatement. The "Emission optimization" scenario has a light blue bar showing the highest abatement at 380 metric tons. The chart is sourced from ComEd anonymized metering data, REsurety LME and LMP data, and the McKinsey Battery Dispatch Model.
A map of Africa shows the countries shaded in based on the percentage of the population living without electricity. Noted with text: Algeria: 0%, Egypt 0%, Mauritiana 51%, Chad 88%, Nigeria 45%, Ethiopia 45%, Democratic Republic of Congo 79%, Angola 52%, South Africa 14%, Madagascar 64%.

Alt text: A bar chart comparing CO₂ emissions from data centers in different grid regions. The CO-WY region has significantly higher emissions than Northern CA, with a label indicating "more than 2x the emissions." Overlaid text emphasizes the impact of building data centers on grids with lower marginal emissions rates.
A bar chart comparing emissions reductions from different renewable energy strategies. Northern CA with co-located solar shows a smaller reduction, while Northern CA with CO-WY wind results in a much larger emissions decrease. The text highlights that investing in clean energy on the dirtiest grids can avoid more than three times the emissions.
A graphic featuring a factory with smokestacks emitting dark smoke and a modern data center building. Overlaid text reads: "If powered by natural gas, these new data centers could cause an additional 180 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually."
A speaker graphic for GreenBiz25 has an Image of Eric Nguyen, Chief Product Officer at WattTiime. The featured session is titled "LEVERAGING AI FOR SUPPLY CHAIN DECARBONIZATION" and will take place on Monday, February 10th 9:30am-12:00pm
A yellow and white graphic reads, "Shouldn't GHG accounting help not hinder climate progress? one small tweak could unlock massive gains." Images of wind mills in grey and yellow and a WattTime logo are below the text.
an image of coal-fired power plant has title text "UNFCCC marginal emissions data show that building renewables in the Global South has the greatest benefit"
