Aura Aero is partnering with French cloud provider Qarnot to accelerate the development of its next generation of decarbonized aircraft. By using Qarnot's low-carbon high-performance computing services, the company aims to reduce the environmental footprint of the intensive simulations required for aerospace engineering. This collaboration highlights a growing trend of integrating sustainable digital infrastructure into the industrial design process. Using sovereign, low-carbon cloud services allows aerospace firms to meet strict regulatory requirements while cutting the energy intensity of aircraft R&D.

Aura Aero is using Qarnot for low-carbon HPC to design their new planes. It is a decent move to tackle the emissions coming from the design phase, not just the flight phase.

The low-carbon claim usually depends on where these data centers are actually plugged in. I wonder if Qarnot is using waste heat recovery or just buying offsets. Any specifics on the actual PUE of these sites?

If they are doing waste heat recovery for local buildings, that is where the real efficiency gain is. Otherwise, it is just moving the energy load from one place to another.

The mention of sovereign cloud is the real key here. EU procurement rules are getting stricter about data residency and carbon reporting. This is as much about regulatory compliance as it is about the planet.
