Climate-neutral data centers – just a pipe dream?

Without the cloud, neither digitalization nor the use of innovative technologies for greater sustainability would be possible. But as global data traffic grows, so does the demand for energy. Despite this, green data centers are anything but a pipe dream: by using electricity from renewable sources, operators drastically reduce their carbon footprint. Take Deutsche Telekom in Magdeburg and Biere, for example: the data centers there operate exclusively on renewable energy and consume 30 percent less power than comparable facilities.

Making the cloud greener

Less CO2 consumption, more efficiency: T-Systems develops project for greater sustainability at Biere data center.

New technologies promote climate-friendly growth

11.9 billion

euros worth of climate-related economic damage occurred in 2019 alone.¹

1 billion

tons of CO2 emissions could be saved using cloud computing over the next four years.²

84%

of all IoT applications are already helping to achieve sustainability goals.³

Up to 12%

fewer CO2 emissions in the logistics industry by 2025 thanks to digitalization processes.⁴
