For example, the [24/7 carbon-free energy](https://www.energymonitor.ai/tech/networks-grids/is-24-7-carbon-free-energy-the-new-gold-standard-of-decarbonisation/?cf-view) approach, supported by a UN compact, appears to be a big improvement on previous highly financialised 'annual matching' approaches. The [grid-aware computing](https://github.com/climateaction-tech/grid-aware-software) approach also seems to improve substantially on carbon-aware computing.
