Cloud to Edge, Energy Footprint of Digital Lifestyles
November 16th, 2020 | Season 1 | 22 mins 36 secs
data center, digitalization, edge computing, electricity, energy, hyperscale data center, latency, power generation, renewable energy certificate
Humankind is forecasted to create more data over the next three years than the data we created over the last 30 years. Our digital lives, powered by technologies such as 5G and IoT, also impact our energy footprint. Join Sarah and Thomas as they discuss how these technologies, 5G to edge computing, empower our digital lifestyles. They will then dive into the role of data centers in our digital lives and cover the differences between hyperscale and edge data centers, energy and electricity consumed by data centers, the role of Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions in reducing the environmental footprint, and how renewable energy certificates work as a decarbonization tactic.

Join the conversation as Thomas, Srikanth and Jeff start the debate with the basics around primary greenhouse gases: carbon, methane and nitrous oxides. The group then debates what makes carbon dioxide get the spotlight when it comes to decarbonization efforts. Then comes the carbon terms: carbon neutral, carbon zero and carbon negative; what are these and why are they important in our journey towards decarbonization of the electricity grid?
