2025.06.10 | Assessment of Climate Impacts and Decarbonisation of Data Centre
Eco-Ideal is excited to be appointed the low carbon consultant of a foreign data centre developer to assess their climate change impacts as well as potential means to decarbonise and offsets the additional emissions as a result of their operation. Data centres are important IT infrastructure that are critical towards digitalisation as well as the application of artificial intelligence and IoTs. Leveraging the high potential of green energy as well as affordable water resources, Malaysia is one of the popular destinations for future data centres. While bringing in attractive investment as well as job opportunities, the operation of data centres also come with huge burden on resources and the environment. In some areas, the establishment of power and water hungry data centres will inevitable lead to increase in greenhouse gas emissions and tightening the scarcity of water resources. The increase in emissions will have an impact of low carbon city emission targets and thus need to be managed carefully. It is encouraging to see city councils taking initiatives to ensure all resource heavy investment will consider their local climate impacts.
