Sustainability and Data Centres: How Are Data Centres Fuelling Europe’s Green Transition?

Stakeholders from international and regional organisations, government, the private sector, academia, and civil society participated in a joint event organised by CISPE and EUDCA, supported by SPAIN DC, and co-sponsored by AWS in Zaragoza, Spain.

The goal of the event was to unravel the intrinsic value that data centres contribute to the European Union’s twin transition goals, transcending the conventional understanding of these technological hubs.

Stakeholders provided concrete examples showcasing how data centres play a pivotal role in advancing Europe’s sustainable and digital transformation while enhancing its global competitiveness. This exploration sparked meaningful discussions among stakeholders, shedding light on the broader significance of data centres.

Let’s hear from stakeholders from international and regional organisations, government, the private sector, academia, and civil society about the rapid advancements in energy efficiency, the industry’s commitment to sustainable practices, and how these efforts mitigate the overall impact on energy demand growth from data centres and data transmission networks.
