Sustainability

Sustainable Infrastructure for Europe's AI future

Scaling AI shouldn't come at the cost of sustainability. We build infrastructure where both can grow together.

The industry today isn't sustainable. We are changing that.

Rising energy demand, inefficient operations, fossil fuel sources of energy and regulatory pressure are exposing fundamental flaws in how the industry is building data centres.

Data centres are projected to consume around 3% of global electricity by 2030, much of which is still generated from fossil fuels.

In large data centres, average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is around 1.5–1.6, with cooling alone representing 30–40% of total power demand.

Data centres without heat reuse under-utilise energy and risk creating local imbalances in energy consumption and community benefit.

Scale42 embeds sustainability into its integrated infrastructure approach from day one.
