AI, vertical farms and Ember's global electricity review

Executive summary

A live broadcast covering Ember's annual global electricity review, the energy footprint of generative AI, and what indoor and vertical farming is delivering at industrial scale.

Key takeaways

• Ember's global electricity review is the most-cited annual baseline for the clean-power transition, track it.
• The marginal kilowatt-hour serving AI workloads still comes disproportionately from fossil generation in most grids.
• Vertical and indoor farming economics depend almost entirely on the price and carbon intensity of power.
