Summary

As the climate crisis rages on, there is an urgent need to decarbonize our data centers, whilst at the same time accommodating the huge projected increase in data transmission, processing and storage needed to feed the requirements of the modern world.

The classic scenario of connecting data centers to national electricity and water networks is becoming increasingly unsustainable. As a result, we now need to be looking towards microgrids or campus scale utilities networks using decentralized and decarbonated generation. Firstly, to guarantee the resilience of utilities serving the data center and secondly, future-proof the schemes that allow for the incorporation of zero carbon generation, as new technologies and fuels come to market.
