Breakout A:
The End of Diesel in the Data Center
Tuesday, October 25, 2022, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Green power usage in data centers continues to rise. However, reducing CO2 and other gas pollutants also requires an alternative fuel to maintain operations during service interrupting power incidents. This presentation will discuss how Compass Datacenters and Foster Fuels are combining to use biodegradable diesel fuel, or HVO, rather than traditional diesel, to power Compass’ on-site generators. Presenters will discuss topics such as HVO’s attributes, emissions impact on generator operations, and future HVO use in the data center industry.
