• Renewable Energy: Many data center operators have committed to powering their facilities with 100% renewable energy. This involves both direct investment in renewable energy projects and purchasing renewable energy credits.
• Advanced Cooling Technologies: Innovations like liquid cooling, free air cooling, and hot aisle containment have significantly reduced the energy required for cooling.

Water Usage

Cooling systems in data centers can consume significant amounts of water. Strategies to reduce water usage include:

• Closed-loop Systems: Recycling water used in cooling systems.
• Air-cooled Systems: Using air instead of water for cooling where climate permits.
• Smart Water Management: Implementing advanced systems to optimize water use.
