Data Centers

Data centers store, manage, and process large volumes of data with servers and networking equipment crucial for digital operations.

The surge in energy consumption is now driven by the intensive processing needs of advanced digital technologies, unlike earlier phases that were fueled by the increasing number of internet users.

2% - Data centers, AI, and crypto consumption of global electricity consumption (2022)

AI algorithms require vast amounts of data processing and machine learning operations, which demand significant energy resources.

Cryptocurrency mining involves complex calculations that consume large amounts of electricity.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that electricity consumption from data centers, AI, and the cryptocurrency sector could double by 2026, reaching 1,000 TWh.

Data centers enhance energy sustainability through technological advancements, optimizing cooling systems, and improving server efficiency.

Data centers can balance increased usage by integrating renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
