Data Center Changemakers Iceland – Episode 1

Live talk show with the people who will change the face of the data center industry, hosted by Sigríður Mogensen.

 

The Data Center Ecosystem in Iceland
✅ Energy, connectivity, sustainability & community

 

Guests: Björn Brynjúlfsson (Chairman, Data Centers in Iceland), Þorvarður Sveinsson (CEO, Farice), Haraldur Hallgrímsson (Director of Business Development, Landsvirkjun), and Íris Baldursdóttir (CEO, Snerpa Power)

 

Towards Sustainable Digital Infrastructure
✅ Life cycle assessment – By including the entirety of a data center’s life cycle, it is possible to keep track of where the main impacts stem from in the data center value chain. This will impact future data center design, build & operations in a way that everyone in the industry needs to understand.

 

✅ Embodied carbon – Between volatile international energy markets and the climate crisis, energy is a key consideration for data center sustainability. Yet, energy usage is not the only way that data centers can tackle their carbon footprint. Quite possibly it is not even the most important one. We take a close look at everything you need to know about embodied carbon & Scope 3 emissions. With special attention for the major impact the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities will have on the entire data center value chain.

 

✅  Data center cooling – The Nordic data center industry turns its naturally cold climate into valuable opportunity. What can others do in the face of increasing temperatures and rising resource use, and how can Iceland continue to innovate?

 

Guests: Ali Moinuddin (Chief Corporate Development Officer, Uptime Institute), Sandro Gatto (Sales Business Development Manager, Vertiv), Mark Acton (Steering Committee Member, EU Code of Conduct for Data Centers & Technical Consulting Director, Future-tech), and Dr. Reynir Smári Atlason (Director of Sustainability, Creditinfo)

Sustainable Energy Management that Makes a Difference is Complex and Requires Focused Innovation
Huawei is a leading company within research and development. And with leading technologies, it is important that all parties adapt “readiness to change” to implement new technologies such as blockchain, AI and energy storage to have the best possible usage of renewable energies as well as make technologies such as diesel generators in data center installations obsolete.

What Does the Rapid Growth of the Data Center Industry in Iceland Mean for the Local Community? 

The data center industry in Iceland has grown rapidly within a decade. Comparing the size of the population and the capacity of its data center market, the numbers are even more fascinating. Strong global focus towards sustainability and abundant supply of renewable energy in the country puts Iceland in a position to see continuing growth of the industry in the years to come. Could this be the case or are there any challenges that could impact the data center development in Reykjavik?

Data Centers by Iceland: A Closer Look at Three Industry Leaders

How do we maintain this momentum in the face of local, regional, and global challenges, and what opportunities lie ahead?
