The global sustainable data center market by investment was valued at USD 31.25 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.72% from 2022-2028.
Policy drivers and regulations such as The Paris Agreement, the RE100, and certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and ISO50001 drive Latin America's green data center development market. The Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact has played a significant role in increasing the sustainability of European data centers, as all signatories will be relying on renewable energy for their facilities by 2030. APAC data centers seek green certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BCA Green Mark to showcase their commitment to sustainability.
North America, Nordic countries, Singapore, Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland are using over 90% of renewable energy in their operations. APAC countries, other Western European Countries, and the UAE work at 60% - 70% of renewable energy in data centers. African countries, other LATAM countries, other Middle Eastern countries, and Southeast Asian countries, excluding Singapore, utilize 30% -40 % of renewable energy in data centers.
Large-Scale Colocation and Hyperscale Data Center Operators Driving the Sustainable Data Center Market
In North America, colocation vendors such as Equinix, Digital Realty, QTS Realty Trust, Vantage Data Centers, CyrusOne, Compass Datacenters, and hyperscale vendors such as Microsoft, AWS, Google, Apple, Meta, and others are adopting lithium-ion UPS systems, Microgrid systems, Smart-grid systems, and many newer support systems supporting the sustainable data center market growth.
Companies such as Eaton, Vertiv, Schneider Electric, and many others are supplying lithium-ion-based UPS systems, smart-grid solutions, and new switchgears compatible with different sources of power supplies.
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Increased Focus On Renewable Energy Sources and Efficient Cooling
-- Hyperscale players such as AWS, Google, Facebook (Meta), Microsoft, and
Apple are procuring renewable energy for their data centers.
-- QTS Realty Trust meets 35% of its energy requirements from renewable
energy with a target of 100% renewable energy by 2025.
-- Free cooling chillers will increase to reduce power consumption and
carbon emissions by data centers. Also, the shift will increase towards
liquid cooling, leading to more sustainable data centers and bringing
down PUE to a range of 1.1 to 1.4.
-- Air and liquid immersion cooling will also be used in most facilities in
the sustainable data center market to reduce their impact on the
environment and the PUE of data centers.
-- A tropical test bed is being tested in Singapore to make data centers
more efficient in a tropical climate. If successful, this can also
positively impact the Latin American market and further reduce the PUE
of facilities.
Emerging Trends to Power Data Centers
-- Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Fuel is among the emerging trends
concept in the sustainable data center market; however, in Latin
America, data center operators didn't adopt this technology, but there
is a development from some of the oil companies that are involved in the
development of the HVO fuel stations, wherein it is witnessed that
during the forecast period at least some operators will introduce HVO in
their facilities.
-- Microgrids can be adopted by data center operators functioning in
regions with an uncertain power supply due to natural disasters and
power fluctuations.
-- Modern UPS systems are being innovated to be modular and occupy less
space in facilities. It is expected that with a significant increase in
data being generated and stored, low tolerance for downtime, and need
for sustainability, lithium-ion adoption will increase significantly.
Government Push Toward Sustainability
-- The US Department of Energy announced a USD 42 million fund under the
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) project to fund
suitable companies working in high-performance energy-efficient cooling
solutions for data centers.
-- Various Latin American governments, including those of Chile, Brazil,
and Uruguay, are actively working toward increasing the adoption of
renewable energy in the country, which is projected to support
sustainable data center market growth.
-- The European Union is continuously working toward making energy
consumption completely green with new laws and regulations. In recent
meetings, the European Union decided to increase renewable energy share
in the energy mix to more than 40% by 2030.
-- Carbon neutrality is a priority in the Middle East & Africa as
governments invest heavily in renewable energy and climate mitigation
programs to achieve it. However, research on carbon neutrality in the
region is limited, particularly considering the effects of renewable
energy, economic growth, and government efficacy.
-- The Middle East & Africa is one of the most vulnerable to climate
change, with harsh temperatures, deserts, coastal ecosystems, and high
levels of air pollution. As a result, the region is expected to take the
lead in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
-- Given the growing concern about the APAC region's electronic trash
(e-waste), authorities may implement measures encouraging the
appropriate disposal and recycling of obsolete data center equipment to
reduce environmental impacts.
Deployment of Modular Data Centers and Sustainable Materials Gathering Momentum
-- In North America and other regions across the globe, modular data
centers are small, portable groups of components needed to supply data
center capacities such as servers, networking environment, and storage.
Modular data centers are great substitutes for traditional data centers.
It is highly predictable, efficient, and flexible.
-- The cost of operating a modular data center costs around 30% less than a
traditional data center facility.
-- The environmental impact of modular data center deployment is also lower
since it entails less or no usage of concrete and can be constructed in
a phased manner, eliminating the need for additional labor.
-- Plant-based and other sustainable materials such as wood, hemp, and
Mycelium, which can revolutionize the construction process for data
centers, are also being adopted by data center operators.
-- Modular data centers worldwide have shown themselves to be especially
well-suited for scenarios prioritizing company flexibility, accelerated
market entrance, or fulfilling unique operational objectives.
Electrical Infrastructure
-- Efficient and sustainable power infrastructure replacing traditional
power systems supports sustainable data center market growth.
-- The increasing demand for efficiency in data centers has fueled the
growth of efficient infrastructure such as Lithium-ion UPS systems, fuel
cells, HVO, natural gas generators, nuclear energy reactors, and more.
-- Rolls Royce announced its plan to offer small nuclear reactors for
US-based cloud operators such as AWS, Google, and Microsoft.
-- AWS will use HVO across all of its European data centers. It has already
replaced diesel with HVO in Ireland.
Mechanical Infrastructure
-- Most companies have deployed free and zero-water cooling, leveraging the
cold temperature across the regions.
-- In its Stockholm-based STO01 data center in Sweden, STACK Infrastructure
has deployed indirect evaporative cooling for energy efficiency.
-- Innovative cooling techniques, such as underwater and floating data
centers, bring in more efficiency in data center cooling.
-- Nautilus Data Technologies, which builds sustainable and floating data
centers, has signed leases for a new 7.5 MW data center in Marseille,
France.
-- Denv-R announced plans to launch floating data center facilities, which
will be cooled by river water to decrease energy consumption and CO2
emissions.
General Construction
-- Hyperscale operators such as AWS, Microsoft, Apple, and Google are
leading in using sustainable materials for data center construction,
propelling the sustainable data center market.
-- Companies introduce technologies such as green concrete, modular data
centers, and more in their data center construction.
-- AWS and American Rock Products collaborated to develop sustainable
concrete for a concrete mix for its data centers.
-- Companies are investing in additional infrastructure like Aquifer
Thermal Storage Systems to conserve heat.
-- District heating is prevalent in Europe, where data center firms
transfer heat generated from data centers to nearby offices/residential
places/swimming pools, and others.
-- Nordic countries are leading in developing district heating with data
center firms.
