In light of this year’s Earth Day, we are very excited to announce that AltusHost is one of the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact signatories.
To ensure data centers are an integral part of the sustainable future of Europe, we gladly joined this Pack to achieve the goal of making centers climate neutral by 2030.
The Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact is backed by 17 industry bodies, and sets targets for efficiency and the use of green energy, as well as making data centers into a circular economy. It follows the European Union’s announcement of a Green Deal at the end of 2019. and commits the industry to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
Some of the goals with this Pact are:
Energy Efficiency: This will be demonstrated through aggressive power use effectiveness (PUE) targets.
Clean Energy: Our data centers will match their electricity supply through the purchase of clean energy.
Water: Data centres will conserve water and set ambitious water conservation targets.
Circular Economy: The reuse, repair, and recycling of servers, electrical equipment, and other related electrical components is a priority.
Circular Energy System: The reuse of data center heat presents an opportunity for energy conservation that can fit specific circumstances. We will explore possibilities to interconnect with district heating systems to determine if opportunities to feed captured heat from data centers into nearby systems are practical, environmentally sound, and cost-effective.
As our CEO said – We have one planet, no matter how big or small we are, we should do our best to make an impact for a greener tomorrow.
We at AltusHost are sure that contributing to the future of our planet, and in that sense to our future as well, could never be in vain. We also hope that other hosting providers and data center owners will follow in our footsteps so that we can together work on a greener tomorrow.
