Could hyperscale data centres be the key to achieving round-the-clock clean power in Asia?

Eco-Business has featured AirTrunk’s “Powering a Clean Energy Future” report in the article ‘Could hyperscale data centres be the key to achieving round-the-clock clean power in Asia?’

Damien Spillane, AirTrunk’s Chief Customer & Innovation Officer explains that: “The increased dependence on cloud solutions and more recently, artificial intelligence, from customers presents challenges as these tools are powered by hyperscale data centres and require large amounts of electricity.”

Joscha Schmitz, AirTrunk’s Head of Energy and Climate refers to the issue of 24/7 clean energy in APAC as a “twin challenge” – “The first challenge is increasing the availability of renewables in the region. The second challenge is ensuring that the correct technologies are utilised to enable a constant supply of clean energy.”

The report identified an opportunity for the tech industry to accelerate the deployment of dispatchable carbon-free energy solutions, taking into account the sector’s scale and their 24/7 clean energy targets. Along with recent renewables announcements across APJ, AirTrunk continues to work on how our data centre technology can assist with the energy transition and reinforce the grid.
