Open Sustainable Technology

There are a lot of open-source projects where one can contribute; I like the list maintained at https://opensustain.tech/. It’s a long list, so might make sense to focus on a specific sector one might be interested in and projects that can use your existing experience (e.g. In a particular language). A few projects that I think are amazing are OpenAQ which maintains an open API and open data on air quality and levels of pollutants; the Linux Foundation Energy projects like Grid eXchange Fabric that has a lot of applications in green energy (e.g. Solar microgrids, load management, etc.); and the Cloud Carbon Footprint tool mentioned in another question, used to estimate the carbon emissions of cloud applications.

The Odin Project

I'm currently doing theodinproject.com and I expect to finish the curriculum by the end of this year. Do you think it's interesting to join the Climate Job Fair or will there be another one later this year / early next year? Thanks!

Climatebase 🌎

A - On your first question, I think that depends a lot on each individual company/position. I would think that the combination of a background in Physics and experience in machine learning could be valuable to a lot of companies. Climate-focused job boards like ClimateBase and communities like Work on Climate are great places to start your research. Here are a couple of companies that come to mind which could perhaps be relevant -- Cervest, SoFar, and Form Energy.
