Bringing
algae
to the data centers

T
he main problem faced by both modern and traditional data centers is carbon usage efficiency (CUE) and power usage
efficiency. As per a report, in over 10 years, data centers will waste over £0.5M in power charges and emit 80% of CO
2
,
but the chances of increasing the percentage in coming years are more, thus creating data centre a ‘villain-destroyer of Earth’.
This paper illustrates and explains about the new algae concept for carbon usage efficiency and power usage efficiency.
Algae,
a unicellular microorganism are a billionaire solution for all the current data centers. It can absorb tons of carbon dioxide in
few minutes, whereas a single tree can’t even do in its life time. Algae undergo photosynthetic reaction and gives biogas and
biofuel as a by-product, thus, turning CO
2
into valuable products leading to significant changes in data centers. This new
CO
2
controlling technique to save the environment with the help of
algae
panels can give us the most profitable business. By
moving to
algae
centered power plant (ACPP) model, we can achieve sustainability, energy efficiency and global conservation.
Data center operators are no longer a pure consumer, but they are also becoming a producing consumer–a “prosumer”. The
opportunities to change a data center from the consumer to prosumer are more diverse here. This technology is a pioneer in
green
algae
power and carbon neutrality. Using this
algae
technology, data centre can change its image from “CO
2
villain to an
environment savior”.
