SUMMARY:Carbon Conscious Computing Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:David Britton (University of Glasgow)\n\nThe Worldwide LHC com
 puting Grid has been developed over the last two decades to include more t
 han 160 sites in over 40 countries. This infrastructure grew out of techni
 cal, financial, and political considerations, and is a remarkable achievem
 ent. However, it was also created before the necessity to consider the env
 ironmental  impact of computing infrastructures, became an imperative. Gre
 at efforts are now being made to reduce the carbon footprint of the WLCG c
 omputing and respond strongly to this agenda. In the future, many more sci
 entific projects will need large-scale computing infrastructures to tackle
  increasingly large data sets. Whilst these endeavours may be able to buil
 d on the technical success of WLCG they also have the opportunity to build
 -in, and optimise, environmental considerations from the start. In this ta
 lk, I will give an overview of the work that is going on within WLCG to “g
 reen the Grid” and consider what aspects might be done differently if we h
 ad the opportunity to start again.\n\nDomain: Engineering, Life Sciences, 
 Physics, Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics\n\nSession Chair: D
