Tech I’d like to see underwater data centres

Carbon emissions by cloud computing are between 2.5%-3.7% of all global carbon emissions, which is comparable to the 2.5% of the aviation industry. Imagine a cloud computing revolution that transcends boundaries while leaving minimal carbon footprint.

Underwater data centres cooled naturally and energised by tidal and solar sources. It will be a gamechanging approach to cloud computing. This technology is currently used for submarine fibre optic cables laid out on the seafloor.

Similarly, submerged data centres not only ensure a harmonious coexistence with marine ecosystems but also drastically cut down on energy consumption.

Cloud providers of the future could harness renewable energy from tides and the sun, resulting in a carbon-neutral cloud solution that’s not only environmentally responsible but also cost-effective. This innovation has the potential to accelerate cloud adoption, as it combines sustainability and affordability.
