Screening life cycle assessment of a new data center in Trondheim

Abstract

This report concludes the project "Energy and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a
dataserver pilot". The project has been performed by SINTEF Energy Research and
SINTEF Community on behalf of Green Edge Compute (GEC), a data center
operator who is establishing a new data center in Trondheim. GEC have high
ambitions with regards its energy consumption and climate footprint and aims to
achieve this through efficient liquid cooling systems, enabling waste heat recovery
for district heating and higher computational density with less use of space and
building infrastructure. Based on the available data the screening LCA presented
in this report shows that GECs new data center can achieve significant energy and
emissions savings compared to the reference data center scenarios.
