> What is the carbon footprint of GPUs? How can I use GPUs without polluting the environment?

> I worked on a project that produced carbon offsets about ten years ago. The carbon offsets were generated by burning leaking methane from mines in China. UN officials tracked the process, and they required clean digital data and physical inspections of the project site. In that case, the carbon offsets that were produced were highly reliable. I believe many other projects have similar quality standards.

Crusoe Cloud (https://crusoecloud.com) does the same thing; powering GPUs off otherwise flared methane (and behind the meter renewables), to get carbon-reducing GPUs. A year of A100 usage offsets the equivalent emissions of taking a car off the road.
