Data Centre World Madrid 2021 - Clean Cloud Builder of Net Zero Design Keynote by Susanna Kass
The latest IPCC report and Global Climate experts show scientific evidence that if we can't drastically reduce carbon emissions, our planet shall face more catastrophic consequences.
We must take responsible actions as global citizens and cloud infrastructure pioneers to deliver on the carbon neutral pledge.
The journey to carbon negative takes ambition and actions, it requires thought leadership and industry collaboration in each step. Susanna Kass, a net zero cloud infrastructure inventor will share insights and
experience of a pragmatic approach of achieving cloud business growth in hyperscale; working around a grid that is not green all the time and on resilience of the energy grid that is not at 99.999% uptime performance
on how to achieve simultaneous resilience and sustainability for next generation net zero data centers.
October 25th - 27th | 9AM – 6PM BST
Prep for COP26 on Energy Ethics by Susanna Kass with University of Cambridge and NYU
On behalf of the Centre for Energy Ethics and the University of St Andrews, we welcome you to Energy Ethics 2021! Rather than greeting you physically in the historic halls of our university, we invite you this year to join us on a virtual platform powered by vFairs.
We hope you can use this digital space as a constructive meeting ground throughout a rich three-day interdisciplinary conference. Together, we will reflect carefully and critically on envisioned energy transitions and planetary transformations, and explore the ethics of energy in our pasts, presents and futures.
Why Technology is the Beating Heart of the Net Zero Revolution
Come listen to Susanna Kass examine the opportunities and challenges in integrating digital transformation with the energy transition! The energy transition and the move to net zero will only be possible if we employ the very latest digital technologies, whether it is to balance energy systems, manage cyber security, or forecast the output of renewable energy systems. It will be the biggest challenge yet for the global technology sector to co-ordinate efforts, collect and share data, and merge physical and digital realms.

Closing fireside chat: In conversation with Microsoft: unpicking the journey to carbon negative
Panel Description
The latest IPCC report and Global Climate experts show scientific evidence that if we can't drastically reduce carbon emissions, our planet shall face more catastrophic consequences. We must take responsible actions as global citizens and cloud infrastructure pioneers to deliver on the carbon neutral pledge. Microsoft has led the charge and operated as a carbon neutral company since 2012, and in January, their President, Brad Smith announced the company’s commitment to going carbon negative by 2030.
The journey to carbon negative takes ambition and actions, it requires thought leadership and industry collaboration in each step. In this fireside chat, Jim Collins, Head of Energy Markets, Microsoft, and Susanna Kass, Energy Fellow, BOD of InfraPrime, a net zero cloud infrastructure inventor will share insights and experience of a pragmatic approach of achieving cloud business growth in hyperscale; working around a grid is not green all the time and on resilience of the energy grid that is not at 99.999% uptime performance on how to achieve simultaneous energy resiliency and clean energy sustainability.
The race to net zero has started!
Alberto Ravagni has accompanied large-scale data centre operators on their way to net zero – a race which has long started but is far from being finished.
Tune in from some exclusive insights from the industry leaders, with our Co-host Susanna Kass!

DCD New York
Join Susanna Kass — a member of the Climate 50 and Power 100 — on June 23rd for this exciting panel! She will be joined by industry voices from DatacenterDynamics, VMware, and CIRKLA.
Panel Description
The concept of the circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping efficient products and materials in use, and an opposite model to the ‘take-make-dispose’ system currently in place across the data center and ICT sector.
With hyperscalers closely wedded to the sustainable path of IT and hardware reuse, what are the challenges for enterprise developers and operators who wish to partake in sustainability innovation, resource efficiency and recycling? And, are there any enterprise developers and data center operators who have managed to reduce resource waste?
This panel will outline whether the enterprise developers and data center can play a larger role in a restorative and regenerative economic model through innovation and show how the results can be measured by sustainability metrics.
“The US needs to revamp its infrastructure and stop using fossil fuels to power the digital transformation era”
The above two quote are from Susanna Kass in this months issue of Data Centre Magazine. Kass, who has been a vocal proponent of sustainable infrastructure for the data center industry, is quoted multiple times in the issue’s article “Going Green Is No Longer Optional”. To read the article for yourself checkout pages 44 through 51 of the digital issue, available here.

Susanna Kass at DCD> Towards Net-Zero
“Imagine the day we yawn at Net Zero Carbon Neutral Data Center and we make no green posts. We are not sorry to the next generation. Simply, our day is an ordinary one living an eco-balance lifestyle. Emissions and landfill are all things in the past just like programming in assembler language or telephone booth.
Join the impressive line up of speakers organized by the DCD team at the Towards Net Zero virtual Conference on Feb 24th and 25th.
The scientific fact is THAT our planet can naturally self generate ITS own resources in a symbiotic relationship.
We have seen numerous individual technology THAT CAN improve efficiency AND reduce emissions. Now, we must rethink AND create sustainable systems that have end-to-end sustainability results with lifecycle impact metrics beyond PUE and GHG measure.
Give yourself a compliment when you no longer play catch up just to get to Net Zero.”
