Infinity Martlesham provides a unique and tangible green energy solution – something that has not been witnessed previously in the UK data centre market

Much has been said about green energy for data centres over the last three years, but to date nothing has become a reality in the UK.

By partnering with a local agricultural co-operative, Infinity have been able to deliver true carbon neutral energy. This scheme uses on-site generation in a scalable modular manner, which is both innovative, economic and manageable in the long term.

The use of an anaerobic digester plant at Infinity ONE will provide our clients with a golden opportunity to truly address the challenge of reducing the carbon footprint of their biggest carbon source; IT in the data centre. With the introduction of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme bringing not only ‘carbon taxation’ but the public ‘naming and shaming’ of the most significant energy users and carbon producers, Infinity’s green data centre campus provides the means to meet that challenge.

Whilst most other green energy developments require massive upfront investment with long lead times to deploy, Infinity’s solution is simple and reliable and comes in a proven scalable package used widely across Europe.

By working directly with the local agricultural community farmers benefit from additional income and access to natural fertiliser for crop production at lower cost than ‘inorganic’ fertilisers and without the pollution.

By using proven technologies, fully backed by a National Grid supply then conventional generators and UPS Infinity has added additional resilience to the data centre whilst removing carbon impact for the lifetime of the centres operation.

Further efficiencies can be gained by combining ground source heat pumps into the mechanical system to allow even greater energy and cost savings.
