A sustainable approach at the heart of data-centre development
The company doesn ’ t falter when it comes to sustainability . If anything , from discussing this with Havard , it seems as though the company has it figured out . With the target being net-zero emissions , the company is actively sourcing 100 % renewable energy for its operations , and when it comes to cooling , direct-to-chip will be the standard that Taiga is setting – not to mention getting creative with the positioning of its sites ; on the edge of the Arctic Circle and many metres below sea-level .
One of its data centres is located in a disused mine , which provides the perfect environment for natural cooling and also eliminates the concerns about space . From an energy perspective , though , Taiga sources its energy from renewable means , citing hydroelectric power as a key component of its Scandinavia-based operations .
“ We will always , wherever we build or whoever we partner with on the data-centre front , use 100 % carbon-neutral energy to power and cool the sites ,” Havard says . “ As well as having these clean sources of energy , we also use it in the most efficient ways .”
