Are using the it thats in our data centres. so often the data centres and the it needs to be located close to metros where people are because theres latency requirements for things like financial services and for streaming and video. and some of the applications cant be remote from where people are using them. but secondly, you know, the availability of electricity is also important. large amounts of electricity is also important. and, you know, you do mention water. and whats quite interesting ...

So we dont actually waste water in the cooling in that particular data centre. but if water is in plentiful supply and we get our water from all sorts of sources. so for example, actually just here in dublin, i heard that weve got weve got kind of a ground water collection where weve effectively buried what they describe to me as a big and what that does is absorb water. and so we get our water from there rather than taking it from the mains utility. so were trying to balance multiple scarce res...

Of the us, something like 2,000 terawatt hours. and its not only the population and the population growth and globalisation which is driving it, its also new technology like chatgtp, it uses three times the energy consumption of a google search. now how do we do? what do we do about it? number one, we need to make all datacentres always more energy efficient. and the data centre operators are doing that. and number two, we need to make sure that we use the waste energy out of such data centres, ...

Are starting to switching to 100% renewable energy companies like google, meta, microsoft, apple, etc. they have made a commitment to go 100% renewable energy across supply chain by 2030. and a lot of the chinese tech giants like alibaba, tencent and baidu are also playing catch up. so they have made similar commitments. however, this is not not enough. as i mentioned, a lot of companies are cleaning up their own data centres, electricity and emissions, but they havent do much in terms of cleani...

And, you know, the location of data centres is chosen through a number of things. first of all, its actually proximity to the people that are using the it centre data centre. so often the data centres and the lot needs to be located close to metros where people are because theres latency requirements for things like financial services and for streaming and video. and some of the applications can be remote from where people are using them. but secondly, you know, the availability of electricity i...

Digitally connected person, which is almost going to be everyone on the planet by 2025, is going to have 5,000 interactions every single day. and all of those interactions are going through data centres like ours. and gary, youre speaking to us from ireland, a small country thats positioned itself as a tech hub with a relatively large number of data centres. and according to the iea, the international energy agency, those data centre account for about 14% of irelands total electricity usage. tha...

And a lot of people ask that. and, you know, the location of data centres is chosen through a number of things. first of all, its actually proximity to the people that are using the it thats in our data centres. so often the data centres and the it needs to be located close to metros where people are because theres latency requirements for things like financial services and for streaming and video. and some of the applications can be remote from wheret people are using them. but secondly, you kn...

From idc that predicts that every digitally connected person, which is almost going to be everyone on the planet by 2025, is going to have 5000 interactions every single day. and all of those interactions are going through data centres like ours. and gary, youre speaking to us from ireland, a small country thats positioned itself as a tech hub with a relatively large number of data centres. and according to the iea, the international energy agency, those data centre account for about 14% of irel...

Up the energy source. for example, a lot of the companies are starting to switching to 100% renewable energy, companies like google, meta, microsoft, apple, etc. they have made a commitment to go 100% renewable energy across supply chain by 2030. and a lot of the chinese tech giants like alibaba, tencent and baidu are also playing catch—up. so they have made similar commitments. however, this is not not enough. however, this is not enough. as i mentioned, a lot of companies are cleaning up the...
