No problem with anyone standing with the farming community.I do object to genuine concerns being turned into far right propaganda and a few cowboys thinking they speak for everyone .

(Ah here - what are you doing confusing 2 psychology theories with a basic law of maths)

Ha. Next thing you'll be telling us guns and SUVs kill people.

Extreme left woke mind virus....

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

Last go they sent their worst and oldest...

Have you done modelling integrating wind + solar given likely cost curve of same.

DC planner here looking on how to optimally disperse a few (hundred?) GW of new flat, inflex demand in 200MW chunks geographically.

Woop woop!

Hi! Irish/EU climate/energy policy addict for about past 15 years. Twitterati since year 1. Big fan Leah!

Currently EU lead for a large Datacenter owner in the weeds of decarbonising. Nerd on all things sustainability accounting.

Joy of seeing a troll free thread😍

He's a Shellenberg/Epstein wannabe who specialises in that type of plausible sounding disinfo.

Blocked him a year ago.

Unfortunately, shit attracts eyeballs over there.

Get wealthy!!

Follow Friday. I may weep. I haven't seen a follow Fri recommendation for about a decade.

My kids givING this serious respect t

The end.

Yeah.

There are a lot a lot of devil in the detail - but it is being talked through

Every DC over 1MW (lots) is obliged to export, unless technically or economically impossible, also under EED.

Germany has transposed as a 40% waste reuse factor by 2025/6 ( almost impossible as far fewer offtakers than amount of export).

Am on EUDCA WG on waste heat

From May 2024, every DC in Europe (under Energy Efficiency directive) needs to publicly report by site : power & water usage, PUE, WUE, waste heat usage... and a bunch of other data

The more expedient pushback on LNG export from NA would be that it increases gas prices for US consumers.

Apocalypse of humanity aside of course...

They'll need a break after a busy Q4 2049.

Don't be a DAChead about CDR

I stand corrected. Thx.

Lol 😄

I never said I "liked" scope 3. 😉

It's a pain in the hole. Just a useful one at times.

I mean I've given you a whole bunch of concrete (sic) examples of where counting and owning scope 3 results in carbon reductions but not a lot more I can do if you have priors.

A recent nearby AWS DC scope 3 calc has led to engineering out 50% of embodied carbon under baseline. Until you're counting, you don't know what's important.

And as for steel/concrete, early buyers matter

Say I hypothetically run a 100MW datacentre.

My scope 1 are tiny as my backup gens are never used.
My scope 2 is (actually!) zero where my IT customer determines drawdown by IT load and power is € passthru.

My scope 3 is €1B of construction capex that I determine and can reduce intensity by 50%!

I don't think in 2023 that is true any more.

Most activities can be electrified.

There is a challenge in that some things/activities should not exist (at least at current unbridled/zero-assumed-consequence) levels.

Phasing out/down those activities impossible w/o Scope 3.

The DC industry has moved wholesale to embrace HVO over diesel.

I'm slightly less concerned vs suggestion of heating in that fuel storage is for the grid outage that never happens. Fuel is almost never actually combusted and just sits bunkered.

Use case IF it needs to exist can't be electrified.

In most cases, the decision to emit is the systemic decision of multiple actors - it only takes one along value chain to dig heels in for inertia to prevent stopping emission.

It doesn't matter if there is double counting. We are not making a jigsaw.
