New Podcast: Data Centres and the Grid, Greening ICT in Europe

13 December 2021

The information and communication technology (ICT) sector is central to the future of the European economy and the continent’s road to net zero. Simultaneously, the EU is also trying to quantify the sector’s energy consumption and environmental impact. In this context, the European Commission has been looking closely at the contribution and subsequent impact of data centres (DCs).

Join CERRE academics Prof. Catherine Banet and Prof. Michael Pollitt in conversation with Nazim Khiari, Project Officer in CERRE’s Energy & Sustainability practice, to discuss why DCs are coming under growing scrutiny; their place in the European energy system; and what can be done to enable a positive contribution from data centres to European and global climate targets in the latest edition of the CERRE podcast (available also directly on SoundCloud):
