having a high external dependence on energy
EU is the largest energy importer in the world
EU economies and citizens are vulnerable to speculative market movements in oil and gas prices
developing a low-carbon economy is one of the EU’s key ambitions
DATA CENTRES. NEARLY ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Energy dependence
EU 28: 54.1%
Euro zone: 62.4%
DATA CENTRES. NEARLY ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION
energy bill: € 400 billion/year
more than € 1 billion per day
transforming this weakness into an opportunity
Addressing clime and energy challenges:
investments on research & innovation programmes FP7 – H 2020
investing € 27 billion (35%) of H 2020 budget, in line with the Paris agreement

The green energy and environmental economy sectors are an opportunity to growth and job creation in EU
DATA CENTRES. NEARLY ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION
environmental employment distribution by sectors in 2014According to Eurostat employment in the EU-28’s environmental
economy rose from 2.8 million in 2000 to 4.2 million in 2014.
environmental economy in the EU-28 generated in 2014€ 710 billion of output€ 289 billion of value added.
the environmental economy is growing faster than the overall economy, in terms of employment, added value and GDP
DATA CENTRES. NEARLY ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION
technological revolution, industry 4.0
internet and cloud
computing
new working way to
communicate and store
information
the exponential growth of
online data traffic
Increasing the number and size of Data Centres
Data Centres are highly demanding on energy consumption
small-medium DC around 100 m2
15/20 Racks will consume 2.5 Giga watts - 525,000 €/year
the biggest power consumers by M2
responsible for about 2 % of energy consumption and CO2 emissions
DATA CENTRES. NEARLY ZERO ENERGY CONSUMPTION
a big challenge and opportunity
for the sector by optimising operational
costs
the industry in general
Developing:• materials• high
performance Air-conditioning
• free cooling • reusing heat
dissipated by DC's
