Unlocking cross-industry value: Strategic ways to enhance data center power needs
AI has revolutionized industries worldwide, driving unprecedented growth in data center infrastructure. As organizations increasingly leverage AI to enhance decision-making, automate processes, and drive innovation, the demand for high-performance computing resources has surged, leading to significant challenges in managing power consumption and cooling needs within data centers. In this Viewpoint, we discuss how liquified natural gas (LNG) presents a sustainable option for optimizing consumption, maximizing data center value, and reducing cooling efforts.

Green data centers: opportunities for decarbonization
Energy consumption by the data center industry accounts for more than 1% of the world’s power consumption and is expected to reach 8% by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The EU aims to be climate neutral by 2050, and data centers can contribute significantly to that goal. Iberia, targeted as a strategic cloud region by hyperscalers and other cloud players, has all the key factors for green data center location, providing an attractive market for investors in sustainable power-supply projects.
