Dave Masselink, Software Engineer and Founder at Compute Gardener, breaks down how their scheduler achieved 50% carbon emission reductions for deferrable workloads.

He explains a crucial distinction: these savings come from temporal shifting rather than energy efficiency - the same jobs run using the same energy, but at times when the power grid has lower carbon intensity.

Dave describes how California's grid experiences 5-7x swings in carbon intensity throughout the day, creating opportunities for "carbon emission arbitrage."
