​In this webinar, researchers from the Better Data Center Project, Dr. Catherine Casomar and Dr. John Bangsund, will walk through their new report: Diesel Generators at Data Centers: Status, Impacts, and Protective Practices
https://betterdatacenterproject.com/resources/diesel-generator-report

​They will explore how diesel generators are deployed at data centers, what emissions they produce, how often they are used, and what regulatory gaps exist. Drawing on recent research and real-world examples, speakers will also share protective practices and strategies communities can use to better understand, monitor, and advocate for stronger oversight.

​Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how backup power systems operate, the risks they pose, and what tools can help communities hold data centers accountable.
