*Details*:

"""
As the number of personal computing devices continues to grow, so does 
the consumption of electrical power. This underscores the urgent need 
for smarter strategies to harness the green characteristics of our power 
grids. While many countries are advocating for an increased share of 
electricity production from green fuel sources, the availability of 
these sources can be inconsistent. Effectively using these cleaner fuel 
sources requires real-time awareness of the current and anticipated 
carbon emissions of the power grid.

We present Substation, a comprehensive collection of developer libraries 
that empower application developers to effortlessly integrate 
carbon-aware computing into their projects. Substation is designed to 
optimise application performance based on the carbon intensity of the 
power grid, enabling applications to reduce their carbon footprint by 
dynamically adjusting their operations in response to the availability 
of low-carbon energy.

Cheers,
Joseph
