My contribution to this article was the focus on demand for compute. I made to models showing that the only way to get significant reductions in emissions is by demand reduction, not by moving workloads in time or space.
You can play with these models here: https://codeberg.org/wimvanderbauwhede/low-carbon-computing/src/branch/master/Low-Carbon-Computing/computing-emissions-scenarios-v2.ods or
