A four-part guide to minimising CO2 emissions through intelligent pipeline scheduling — from architecture to implementation.
Carbon Optimised Data Pipelines
Carbon Optimised Data Pipelines: Introduction
Cloud data pipelines often have flexibility in when they run. Using the UK National Grid Carbon Intensity API, you can schedule them for the greenest window.
Carbon Optimised Data Pipelines: Architecture Overview
Translating carbon-optimised scheduling into a modern data pipeline architecture for Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory.
Carbon Optimised Data Pipelines: Pipeline Definition
A portable Data Factory, Synapse, or Fabric pipeline that calls the Carbon Intensity API and waits for the greenest scheduling window — no custom code.
Carbon Optimised Data Pipelines: Next Steps
Extending carbon-optimised pipelines: choose between Azure regions at runtime, work around Wait activity limits, and adapt the pattern beyond the UK.
