Green power servers

We build capacity to make your digital services more sustainable

Our eco-friendly servers (Green Power Servers) are designed to run on renewable energy, so your business carries a sustainable character that is responsible toward the planet.

Energy from the sun and wind

We rely on renewable energy in our data centers, and that commitment passes on to you: every website, database and application you host with us is automatically eco-friendly.

Sensible green policies

We limit waste and encourage recycling, and remote work is a core part of who we are, for a healthy balance between work and life.

Energy efficiency

An energy-saving infrastructure, with low-consumption servers and virtualization technology, alongside renewable energy.

Green energy for a greener world

Servers that shrink the carbon footprint, and save on costs too

Green power servers are growing in popularity as companies seek to reduce their carbon footprint: they cut the greenhouse gas emissions that come with traditional servers, which usually rely on coal or natural gas.

With renewable energy, there is less carbon dioxide and fewer pollutants in the atmosphere, and costs fall over the long term: an essential step toward a more sustainable tech sector.

A price that doesn’t show on screen: data centers running on coal and gas

Every page opened and every message sent passes through servers running day and night. And when their electricity comes from coal and gas, the air we breathe and the water we drink pay the price. These figures, from scientific and official sources, measure that price in terms we all know: cars, trees and drinking water.

Since you opened this page, the world’s data centers have released and consumed:

0tonnes

of carbon dioxide, into the air we all share

0liters

of water, to cool their servers and generate their electricity

0MWh

of electricity generated for them by coal and gas

At the annual rates of the latest estimates: 180 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (International Energy Agency), 560 billion liters of water (de Vries-Gao study, 2025), and 485 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2025, more than half of it from coal and gas (30% and 26% in 2024).

One data center, and what it leaves behind

A center’s size, its power source and how long it runs determine what it leaves in the air and water, from carbon dioxide to gases that harm the lungs, along with what the same center would leave if it ran on renewable energy.

Green Web Check

An estimate from published averages: smokestack emissions of US coal and gas power plants in 2023 (EPA eGRID2023), the water of their cooling towers (NREL), the average data center overhead above what its servers need, PUE 1.52 (Uptime Institute 2026), and its cooling water, 0.36 liters per kilowatt-hour (LBNL 2024). The tree is an urban tree in its first ten years, the home uses the average US home’s 12,194 kilowatt-hours a year (EPA), and drinking water is the minimum the World Health Organization recommends: 5.3 liters per person a day. Actual figures vary from one plant to another.

Where do data centers stand among the largest sources of emissions?

million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year

  • The world’s data centers180

  • Data centers in 2030 (forecast)320

  • All of Egypt258

  • All of Kuwait130

  • International shipping623

  • International aviation569

Data centers today release more than all of Kuwait, and by 2030 they will release more than Egypt does today. They account for about 0.5% of the world’s energy emissions (38.4 billion tonnes in 2025).

5.13million deaths

a year worldwide, which researchers estimate are caused by air pollution from burning fossil fuels.

That is one death about every 6 seconds, avoidable by phasing out fossil fuels (BMJ, the British Medical Journal, 2023).

Initiative

One client, one tree

Nature is our first teacher: it taught us how a small seed becomes a sprawling tree. Out of gratitude to it, we plant a tree in the ground for every new client who joins our family: our way of saying “thank you” to you and to the environment.

Trees planted in this grove

31

For every new client who puts their trust in us, we plant a tree in the heart of the earth.

Every tree we plant is a new lung for our cities to breathe with, and a step toward healthier lives and a more beautiful place to live. We invite you to start your digital journey with us: not just to build a cloud, but to plant together a tomorrow where progress and the environment go hand in hand.

Using green energy

Efficient consumption, and a protected planet

Green energy isn’t just eco-friendly; it’s a tool for using less: less reliance on fossil fuels, less waste, and a smarter, cleaner use of energy.

  1. 01

    Less reliance on fossil fuels

    A clean, renewable alternative to a limited resource that drives climate change, so we use less energy overall.

  2. 02

    Lower energy costs

    The initial installation cost may be higher, but the long-term savings are large; and solar power can generate extra income by exporting the surplus to the grid (Net Metering).

  3. 03

    More efficient energy use

    Sun and wind are decentralized sources used where the energy is consumed, which reduces the need to carry power over long distances.
