STACK Infrastructure has implemented HVO100 (hydrotreated vegetable oil) as a standby power source for a new data centre at its OSL04 campus in Holtskogen, Norway.
Stack has said that after rigorous testing, HVO100 is now being utilised in lieu of fossil fuel-based diesel at the facility.
“STACK understands that sustainability is a business imperative that shapes how we design, construct, and operate critical infrastructure in an increasingly digital world,” said John Eland, CEO, STACK EMEA.
“To address our Scope 2 emissions, we already utilise 100% renewable energy across our global data centre portfolio. Implementing HVO100 aligns with our commitment to reducing our Scope 1 emissions, marking a significant step toward a greener future.”
“We are proud to be pioneering green initiatives in Norway,” added Geir Vistung, Manager of STACK’s OSL04 Campus.
“Our heat reuse programme in Oslo is award-winning, we harvest rainwater to support our cooling systems at several of our data centre campuses, and the use of HVO100 is yet another example of industry-leading innovation.”
STACK’s EMEA presence spans Milan, Geneva, Zurich, and Frankfurt, with an operational and planned portfolio of more than 1GW across the region.
In addition to this new facility at the OSL04 campus, this year, two more STACK data centres became operational in Oslo, increasing the conpany’s footprint in Norway by another 18 MW.
The company is also developing a 72 MW campus in Copenhagen and an 18 MW campus in Stockholm.
