It’s easy to say data is the new oil. But that statement should prompt us to think about the environmental impact of how we generate, process, and transmit data. That thought process inevitably leads us back into the data center, the place where enterprises create, extract, mine and refine that precious data.

According to the International Energy Agency, data center workloads worldwide increased by a factor of 7.5 between 2010 and 2019, while internet traffic increased by a factor of over 12.

Throughout this period, global data center energy use stood relatively constant at 200TWh, amounting to 1 per cent of total global energy demand. This is a tribute to industry efforts to date to make servers and data center infrastructure more efficient.
