With technologies like AI and the growing needs for storage and processing data, the number of data centers will grow by 160% by end of this decade, reaching 3-4% of the total energy consumption.

Currently, the world’s roughly 8,000 data centers account for about 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, comparable to sectors like chemicals and aviation. It’s clear that their role in the energy transition becomes crucial.
