Happy #FootprintFriday! Today we share exciting news from the data centre industry! The global colocation giant, Equinix, is exploring the use of hydrogen fuel cells at its Dublin data centre, marking another significant step towards sustainable digital infrastructure. Equinix is collaborating with ESB and GeoPura to potentially power its International Business Exchange facilities with zero-carbon technology. While this is currently in the demonstration phase, the future looks promising as Equinix plans to expand this eco-friendly solution across its data centers. This initiative aligns with our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, and we are encouraged to see Equinix lead the way in reducing carbon footprints in the digital world. #Sustainability #HydrogenEnergy #DataCenters #GreenTech #Equinix

This #FootprintFriday, we share exciting news we have read this week! Balfour Beatty, Celsa, and Tarmac are partnering with Cambridge University to revolutionise cement production with innovative 'Electric Cement'. Cement production contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions. But this innovation could significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Cambridge scientists have discovered a way to recycle used cement by leveraging the heat from steel recycling. This process is in trialling stages but has the potential to reshape the future of the construction industry. The 'Electric Cement' initiative not only supports environmental sustainability but also enhances the quality and durability of construction materials. Collaborative efforts and government incentives could further drive the adoption of this groundbreaking technology. We celebrate innovations like this and hope they pave the way for a greener future!

Happy #FootprintFriday! Did you watch the Olympics this year? We certainly did and are looking forward to the Paralympics! The swimming events stand out as one of our favourites and here's why: The Paris Olympic Aquatic Centre is being kept warm by the excess heat from a local data centre! Equinix’s PA10 data centre in Paris, runs on 100% renewable energy and is transferring surplus heat to the Aquatic Centre, ensuring the pools remain at optimum temperature while significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Hopefully such high profile examples will encourage other data centre owners & developers to explore such opportunities and implement innovative schemes to utilise the waste heat. Join us in celebrating not only this incredible blend of technology and sustainability but also all participants and medal winners! 👏 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ee4JtPY2 Get in touch with us to hear our thoughts on the opportunities this could create - we are keen to explore these with our clients and partners. #Olympics #EcoFriendly #SustainableInnovation #ParisOlympics #DataCenterHeat #GreenTech #ClimateAction
