Data centers that once operated in the background are well known by almost everyone thanks to recent Artificial Intelligence hype. There has been a wave of new scrutiny of data center energy use and carbon emissions. However, forecasts showing future sustainability of the sector and active participation in carbon footprint reduction from the economy present optimistic perspectives. Carbon footprint reduction in every sector of the economy requires data centers.

Electrification and digitization enabled by data centers will drive decarbonization, which will improve quality of life and boost technology development. By relying on renewable power sources, innovative power, and cooling technologies, data centers will continue to reduce their own emissions while mitigating major emissions from other sectors and leveraging Artificial Intelligence.

Introduction

Mitigating global warming and reducing carbon emissions are important goals for industries. IT and advanced software housed in data centers play a critical role in decarbonization in nearly every sector of the economy. The continuously evolving capacity for computational power in centralized or edge data centers can be used to analyze emissions and make tailored recommendations, ultimately leading to carbon footprint reductions. Automating energy-intensive processes in the manufacturing industry, whether it is to improve overall efficiency or coordinate logistics and supply chains to reduce emissions from transportation, is available thanks to implementation of algorithms of Artificial Intelligence( AI) hosted in data centers. Also, the evolution of chips and other components of IT infrastructure enables more FLOPS( floating-point operations per second) for more powerful and effective AI algorithms for process improvements and efficiencies.
