• Abstract: This volume contains the accepted lightning-talk contributions from the 2nd International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing (LOCO 2026), held at Lancaster University, United Kingdom, on 10-11 September 2026. The collection brings together 14 short papers presenting emerging research, early-stage results, practical tools, and critical perspectives on reducing the environmental impacts of computing. Topics include carbon and energy measurement, carbon-aware scheduling, sustainable artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing, computational sufficiency, hardware longevity, interoperability, frugal computing, and post-growth approaches to digital technology. The contributions were selected by the LOCO 2026 Programme Committee for their relevance to the workshop and their potential to stimulate discussion across technical, organisational, and societal dimensions of low-carbon computing. They are published together in this edited volume as a companion collection to the main LOCO 2026 proceedings index.
