Is your Code Net zero?
summary
Shell reports a 30% emissions cut by 2022 while investing up to $3 billion a year in renewables and running 140,000 EV chargers with a 2.5 million target by 2030, and notes data centers must halve emissions by 2030 per IEA. Internal hackathon shows faster code uses less energy and well designed services run 50x faster, measurements use a carbon-awareness API and SDKs to pick low-carbon locations, and C# and Rust outperform Python for energy efficiency.
