Decarbonising data centres in the age of AI

Overview

As the AI revolution accelerates, demand for data centres and the energy required to power them is set to rise rapidly. By 2030, data centre energy use could triple in advanced digital economies and take up as much as 4% of worldwide power consumption. With 80% of the global energy mix coming from fossil fuels, this growth could generate 2.5 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions. However, increasing investment in this sector presents a major opportunity to drive sustainable solutions and form the blueprint for decarbonised data centres of the future.

Amid shifting policies, economic headwinds and competing demands for land and resources, which approaches are proving most effective in decarbonising data centres globally?

In partnership with the iMasons Climate Accord*, this webinar explores the strategies reducing data centres’ carbon impact. Our expert panel will examine energy sources, equipment systems (both IT and MEP), and building materials. The panel will highlight effective solutions and best practices for carbon reduction as well as the innovative solutions under development shaping data centre decarbonisation in the next few years.

*The iMasons Climate Accord (ICA) is a global coalition focused on enabling carbon accounting and reduction in digital infrastructure. Representing some of the largest organizations in the world, the ICA is focused on establishing best practices for carbon reduction accounting and driving market transformation towards carbon neutrality.
