Route AI workloads to wherever and whenever they're cleanest and cheapest.
AI training burns through data centers that evaporate 1.8 liters of water per kWh. Grid carbon intensity varies 24x globally (13-320 gCO₂/kWh). Same GPU-hour costs 10x more in the wrong location. Meanwhile, Starcloud-1 launched Nov 3, 2025—first H100 GPU in orbit. Orbital compute is operational hardware.
- Live routing: Calls real APIs for carbon (Electricity Maps, UK National Grid) and cost (Azure) to route workloads across Earth + orbital data centers
- Smart scheduling: "Wait 4 hours for solar peak → Save 156kg more CO₂"
- Results: 41% less carbon, 53% less water, 47% cheaper

UK Carbon API works out of the box (no auth).
Stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript, react-globe.gl (Three.js), Tailwind
APIs: UK National Grid (free), Electricity Maps (200+ zones), Azure Retail Prices
Algorithm: Weighted scoring (40% carbon, 30% cost, 30% latency) → 70/30 split between top 2 regions
| Region | Carbon | Cost | Water | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UK | LIVE API | $0.25/kWh | 0.8 L/kWh | Updates every 30min |
| California | LIVE API | $0.18/kWh | 1.2 L/kWh | Electricity Maps |
| Germany | LIVE API | $0.20/kWh | 1.5 L/kWh | Coal-heavy grid |
| Sweden | LIVE API | $0.08/kWh | 0.3 L/kWh | Hydro paradise |
| Orbital LEO-1 | 8 gCO₂/kWh | $0.002/kWh | 0 L/kWh | Starcloud-1 specs |
Water crisis: Data centers in California drought zones use 1.2-2.4 L/kWh
Carbon chaos: Same job produces 24x more emissions in Germany vs Sweden
Orbital economics: Solar energy 22x cheaper in space ($0.002 vs $0.045/kWh)
Starcloud-1: Launched Nov 3, 2025. 60kg satellite, 325km orbit, running NVIDIA H100 + Google Gemini in space.
- Carbon: UK National Grid, Electricity Maps
- Water: EESI 2025, IEEE Spectrum
- Orbital: Starcloud, NVIDIA Blog
