EcoDataCenter

Blending near-infinite scalability with the claim to be the world ’ s first ( and only ) “ climate positive data centre ” company , with three sites across the Nordics , EcoDataCenter is setting a new standard for sustainability in the industry . In addition to industry-leading efficiency , heat recycling , and the use of 100 % renewable power generated in the north of Sweden , Eco DataCenters ’ climate positivity is also down to its use of wood ( which traps carbon emissions ) in the construction of its data centres . Also , the excess heat transferred from its server rooms to a nearby heating plant represents a savings of about 700 – 800 hours per year in fossil fuel operations , which amounts to more than the company ’ s annual CO₂ emissions .
