It brings business and policy leaders and Harvard Business School faculty together to share insights about what businesses are doing, can do, and should do to confront climate change. It explores the many challenges and opportunities that climate change raises for managers, such as decisions about where they choose to locate, the technologies they develop and use, their strategies with respect to products, marketing, customer engagement, and policy—in other words, the full spectrum of business concerns.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161"},"episode":{"title":"How Crusoe is Reducing the Carbon Intensity of AI Data Centers","slug":"how-crusoe-is-reducing-the-carbon-intensity-of-ai-data-centers","published_at":"2025-10-15T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161/how-crusoe-is-reducing-the-carbon-intensity-of-ai-data-centers","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/tcQd6Q6C0RUUlOHq1Ytj/mgln.ai/e/51/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG7817491047.mp3?updated=1760485673","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/tcQd6Q6C0RUUlOHq1Ytj/mgln.ai/e/51/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG7817491047.mp3?updated=1760485673","summary":"Hui Wen Chan, Senior Director of Sustainability at Crusoe, describes how the rapid rise of AI is reshaping energy demand and Crusoe’s efforts to design more sustainable data centers. She explains how Crusoe leverages stranded energy sources, repurposed electric vehicle batteries, on-site renewables, and innovative energy-efficient cooling technologies to design and build gigawatt-scale AI data center infrastructure that reduces water and carbon footprints. She also shares why Crusoe emphasizes modularity and location-based energy sourcing, and how its customers—ranging from AI startups to tech hyper-scalers—are integrating climate into their computing strategy. Hui reflects on her path from microfinance and Citi’s ESG team to climate tech and offers practical advice for others pursuing careers at the intersection of AI and sustainability. This episode is a part of our HBS alumni series, which also features Eric Adamson who works on agricultural robotics at Oishii, and Danielle Colson who works at Mantel, a carbon capture technology start-up.
