Underwater data centers promise to be both economical and sustainable. The prerequisite densification of infrastructure and unmanned operations may only suit specific workloads, but lessons learned under water may influence land facilities.
Adoption of direct liquid cooling (DLC) continues to grow slowly, according to recent Uptime research. However, more operators are considering it for future use due to mounting thermal management and sustainability challenges.
This report looks at the leading frameworks for carbon reporting with regards to energy attribute certificates (EACs) and Scope 3, including their sector-specific guidance (if any) for data centers.
