What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Carbon Neutral Data Center Market?
Carbon-neutral data center market growth is significantly driven by a growing focus on renewable energy. The latter is obtained from nature-bequeathed resources, its surge in usage being strongly attributed to its potential to curb pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon-neutral data centers, attentive to producing net zero carbon output, rely heavily on renewable sources of energy. For instance, the International Energy Agency, a French independent intergovernmental agency, reported in June 2024 that in 2022, there was an 8% increase in the renewable energy supply from sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and ocean. Consequently, the representation of these technologies in the world's energy supply documented an increase of approximately 0.4 percentage points, hitting the 5.5% mark. Thus, the surging emphasis on renewable energy catapults the carbon-neutral data center market upwards.
