Net-zero data center?

Think about this concept: data center is mostly using renewable energy. It will help achieve Net-zero data center in that way.

Here is the caveat: it really depends on how you define Net-zero. Are you referring to Net-zero energy or Net-zero emission? The former is easier to achieve. It would be challenging nowadays to achieve net-zero emission on data centers.

Scope 3 carbon emission net-zero is most challenging to achieve as many vendors still don’t have well-defined embodied carbon footprint. How would you come up with the system matrix without the component? We will have to wait.
