Implementing green data centers involves designing and managing facilities with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. This includes utilizing low-power servers, modular data centers, free air cooling, hot and cold aisle containment, and reusing waste heat. By integrating these technologies, blockchain networks can significantly lower their carbon footprint and contribute to global sustainability efforts. The study “Green data centers: towards a sustainable digital transformation” emphasizes the importance of designing data centers with a focus on managing climate risks and minimizing environmental impact. The guide outlines strategies such as optimizing energy usage, implementing efficient cooling systems, and adopting renewable energy sources to achieve sustainability goals.
