Regenerating natural ecosystems with Microsoft

from The Circular Economy Show Podcast · host Lou Waldegrave, Kaitlin Chuzi, Alessandra Pistoia

How can a company as large as Microsoft help to regenerate nature? In this episode, we discuss how the organisation is designing its rapidly-growing number of data centres to become sanctuaries of biodiversity with Kaitlin Chuzi, Microsoft’s Director of Biomimicry and Advanced Ecosystems, and Alessandra Pistoia, Microsoft’s Circular Economy Lead. We’ll hear how data centres, often seen as energy-intensive infrastructures, are being leveraged to rejuvenate natural ecosystems. We’ll also learn how excess heat from data centres is being repurposed to support agricultural activities and renewable energy projects, and how data centres can play a pivotal role in environmental monitoring and restoration projects. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review, or leave us a comment on Spotify or YouTube.
