Formula E

Motorsport in its early days helped develop the car from a novel feat of engineering to utilitarian and high-performance vehicles we see today. As the world evolves with more sustainable modes of transport and e-mobility, motorsport itself has also had to change to retain real-world engineering relevance. In the session you’ll hear about how a new breed of motorsport, such as Formula E, is pioneering cutting edge technologies that not only produce world-class sport, but are actively enhancing and revolutionising the vehicles and transport systems we use today.

When it comes to climate change, over a third of global emissions come from transport. Not only is this becoming a huge problem for the environment and people who breath in dirty air, but an enormous opportunity to decarbonise and innovative alternative low-carbon solutions. Automakers are under pressure to change, rapidly, and develop innovative low-carbon an electric alternatives. Enter the world of sport, and prominently motorsport, and how a cutting-edge series such as Formula E is not only helping some of the largest car brands develop new technologies, but inspiring and encouraging consumers to be more conscious and aware of how their transport decisions can have an enormous impact in the race against climate change.

Session Key takeaways:

- How motorsport is at the coalface in solving some of the world’s most technical e-mobility challenges.
- How sport can be leveraged as a platform for change; inspiring, educating and entertaining consumers into more sustainable lifestyles.

Datacentres are estimated to use 3% of global energy provision, and this is likely to grow. So what IT does around power consumption and CO2 is vital for the planet. Yet the latest IT products are more powerful and often consume even more electricity.

Whether your company uses IT on premise or as a service from cloud providers, regulations are being tightened for reporting of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, and Net Zero plans are being audited. Without active Carbon Reduction plans in place, we cannot realistically achieve Net Zero.

So learning how to optimise IT power usage and design solutions to critical for all enterprises. Help your company become Carbon Conscious and start an initiative for reduction which actually will save money as well.

Ruth will discuss techniques to design and implement solutions from a carbon reduction perspective. This includes practical hints to apply to currently running environments.

She estimates that around 20% savings can be gained for current datacentre and cloud environments, which can not only reduce tonnes of CO2 emitted but also reduce power costs by over €100k per year per datacentre. Greater savings are possible when designing IT systems.

So come, learn and participate. Save the planet and get your company to start saving for a head start on Net Zero plans.

Session Key Takeaways:

How you can optimise existing IT infrastructures to reduce power and CO2
How you can transform new IT services using CO2 optimisation as a focus
How you can build a business case to save your company significant money whilst also saving CO2 and become Carbon Conscious
