To date, CO2 refrigeration technologies have been based on commercial-grade, multi-compressor strategies, which have been proven overly complex and less reliable under harsh industrial conditions.
With data centers on par with the aviation industry for their contribution to the world’s CO2 emissions, alternative refrigerants in data center cooling systems have the potential to reduce emissions equivalent to 43.5–50.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide from 2020 to 2050.
Containerized edge infrastructure that’s good for businesses and the planet

In the Netherlands, there are over 3,700 hectares of commercial greenhouses. Each containerized data center located adjacent to a greenhouse can be used to heat 2 hectares in the summer and a half hectare in the winter — enough to grow tons of tomatoes every year.
The Host in Ireland Quarterly Report shows the carbon impact of data centers to level off at 2.2% of Ireland’s total emissions by 2025 despite strong growth in data center capacity
June 1, 2020
A new report from Host in Ireland, in association with Bitpower, projects that due to the decarbonization of the electricity grid and renewable first purchasing policies of the Irish data center industry, data center CO2 will level off at about 2.2% of Ireland’s total emissions by 2025.
