The technology company “Tet” in cooperation with the world’s largest producer of renewable diesel fuel “Neste” will use “Neste MY” 100% renewable diesel fuel to power data center generators. More environmentally friendly diesel fuel will ensure the operation of “Tet” DATTUM and DC6 data centers, significantly reducing one part of CO2 emissions. For the transition to the use of more environmentally friendly diesel fuel, “Tet” has so far invested around 20,000 euros, purchasing the first six tons of fuel.
In the information and communication technology sector, data centers are one of the largest consumers of electricity, as they use approximately 3% of the total global electricity consumption, but by 2030 they could consume as much as 4%. The company invests EUR 300,000 every year to improve the energy efficiency of data centers.
“We have been working for a long time to improve the efficiency of data center capacity utilization and to offer our customers more competitive services. This year we have started implementing the “green course”, which is related to the transition to low-emission data centers. As part of this course, we are starting the transition to the first two data centers more environmentally friendly fuel, which will reduce the amount of CO₂ emissions that occur as a result of operating generators,” emphasizes Tet Data Center Business Development Manager Māris Sperga. “The use of renewable diesel fuel in data centers will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of backup generators by an average of 90%.” explains Armands Beiziķis, chairman of the board of SIA “Neste Latvija”.
“Neste MY” is 100% renewable diesel fuel, which has the same chemical composition as fossil diesel fuel, but does not contain a single drop of oil. It does not contain sulfur, oxygen, or aromatic chemical compounds. Crucially, it is fully suitable for all diesel engines, therefore no further adjustments are required – it can be used 100% pure or as an additive to fossil diesel fuel in any quantity. Thanks to the unique production technology, “Neste MY” renewable diesel fuel has excellent frost resistance parameters and long-term storage advantages.
Tet’s commitment to reducing its impact on the environment is defined in the company’s Sustainability Policy, which envisages a gradual transition to renewable resources for own consumption as the company’s main decarbonization strategy.
