Energy demand for data centers is soaring, eDiesel offers a drop-in alternative to fossil diesel that cuts emissions by up to 90%.
In today’s digital-first world, data centers are the backbone of everything from cloud computing to social media and online banking. Their energy demand has skyrocketed to power billions of daily interactions. In fact, data centers are responsible for nearly 1% of global electricity use—a number that will only grow with rising data consumption. This puts immense pressure on operators to meet both power needs and sustainability goals.
Enter eDiesel, a next-gen fuel that enables data centers to operate with ultra-low carbon emissions, and . But what exactly is eDiesel?
eDiesel, also known as electro-fuel, is made from CO2, water, and renewable energy creating a clean, carbon-neutral diesel. Twelve’s Electrol™ eDiesel, has up to 90% lower greenhouse gas emissions, and significantly lower SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions than conventional diesel. This means data centers can run diesel backup generators when needed—without increasing emissions.
eDiesel: Key Energy Solution for Data Centers
Data centers rely heavily on backup power systems to ensure uninterrupted service. These systems often include diesel generators that activate during outages or peak demand. However, conventional diesel contributes to emissions—a challenge for companies with strict sustainability targets. Data centers are known to use 10 to 50 times the energy per floor space of a typical commercial office building, prompting calls from environmental groups to power its facilities with renewable energy. By adopting eDiesel, data centers can reduce their environmental impact while maintaining the reliability their customers expect.
