Overview

This study uncovers the significant carbon footprint from data centers, emphasizing static operational power impacts and mitigation strategies.

Key Points

  • Operational energy consumption generally dominates the total carbon footprint of data centers due to high static power use.
  • Experimental measurements on four servers reveal that static operational power, especially at low loads, is a key emission factor.
  • Implementation of Life Cycle Assessment methods highlights the importance of assessing embodied carbon for sustainable design.
  • Optimization efforts should prioritize server utilization, low-carbon electricity, and maximizing server lifetime for effective mitigation.
