The future of sustainable energy Data centres have become an integral part of our lives . These sophisticated buildings full of computers manage the information we all use virtually every minute of the day , ( think navigation , voice and video streaming , social media , text , email , etc ) and as such they have become massive consumers of energy on behalf of society as a whole .
As an industry , it is essential for data centres to maintain and expand their focus on decarbonising the grid . They have the potential to either positively or negatively impact this goal making it imperative to take responsibility in aiding this endeavour .
