Benefits for Data Centres
According to the International Energy Agency, more than 1% of the world’s electricity is used to power data centres. This is set to grow in future. Clean Power Lab helps businesses reduce GHG emissions arising from their use of electricity.

Carbon Intensity Assessments for Data Centres
Emissions due to electricity use are known as Scope 2 emissions. Scope 2 emissions may be reduced by decreasing the Carbon Intensity of consumed electricity. Electricity comes from a range of generators such as coal power stations, which cause high GHG emissions, and wind farms, which cause zero emissions. The Carbon Intensity of electricity is highly variable and depends on the mix of generators operating at the time electricity is consumed.

Daily Carbon Intensity Variations
Daily Carbon Intensity Variations
Carbon emissions from electricity are heavily dependent on when electricity is used. Changing time of consumption by a few hours can massively reduce emissions. Weekly and monthly variations can be much bigger than daily variations. A half-hourly carbon intensity forecast allows emissions to be minimized.
