After of decade of trying to run more efficient Data Center it is time to tackle the elefphant in the room.
#Physical infrastructure from steel and concrete is a massive CO2 issue.
Facebook reports that 95% of its CO2 emissions come from Scope 3 (https://plana.earth/academy/what-are-scope-1-2-3-emissions/). So we started focussing on tackling the big issue, buy designing a modular Data Center that uses as little recources a possible, build completely out of wooden infrastructure.
We working closely with the Open Compute Foundation and various partners to create the best data center with the smallest impact possible. If you like to participate, feel free reach out under:
