Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing (LOCO 2026)

The Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing (LOCO 2026) compile interdisciplinary research, emerging tools, and critical perspectives aimed at curtailing greenhouse gas emissions across computational infrastructures. Key thematic contributions focus on emissions accounting, sustainable software engineering, circular hardware lifecycles, and sustainable artificial intelligence.

This matters because computing and artificial intelligence workloads represent an escalating share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Establishing rigorous frameworks for measuring and reducing both operational and embodied carbon is essential for long-term operational resilience and regulatory compliance. Organizations that integrate low-carbon computing paradigms can decouple computational expansion from unsustainable environmental overhead.

LOCO 2026 convenes academic and technical research targeting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions generated by computing.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
