Sustainable IT: How Green Data Centers and Circular Hardware Are Becoming Boardroom Issues
What happens when the world’s digital engine starts overheating the planet that powers it? The scenario is that every picture uploaded, each movie viewed, and all AI models trained, go through data centers that consume vast resources in terms of electricity and water. With the global warming being a major factor, it has become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain the cooling systems for those machines. The World Economic Forum estimates that extreme heat and drought could push global data center costs up by about 81 billion dollars a year by 2035, and as high as 168 billion by 2065. That’s not a distant threat, it’s a financial storm building right now.
