Summary
Prime, an international hyperscale and wholesale data center provider, today announced the launch of its enhanced sustainability strategy headed by newly appointed ESG Vice President Sarah Martinez.
The enhancements are the next phase of Prime's sustainability program that has demonstrated significant progress to date. This includes the creation of a new data center design standard featuring an integrated, closed-loop mechanical system that uses less than one percent of the water consumed by traditional adiabatic and evaporative cooling systems for near-zero Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Prime was also an early member of the iMasons Climate Accord and invested in development opportunities that offered the potential for data center-integrated district heating.
"Today's water challenges are becoming more exacerbated as climate change and our population growth places increasing demands on this vital resource," offered Todd Reeve Chief Executive Officer at Bonneville Environmental Foundation. "We applaud Prime for taking real action to help conserve, restore, and revitalize freshwater."
"With cloud, social media, and AI driving massive energy demand, we are compelled to ensure our sustainability commitments result in responsible long-term growth," commented Nicholas Laag, Founder and CEO of Prime Data Centers. "Since our inception in 2017, Prime has passionately explored new ways to further sustainability such as district heating in Europe, our closed-loop mechanical system, high-efficiency infrastructure, and unique power sourcing options. Looking to the future, we will continue to push the envelope and collaborate with digital infrastructure leaders and our customers to create a direct link between the advancement of technology and sustainability innovation."
