How we reduce the environmental impact of computing

while getting access to abundant energy

Digital Renewable Optimization™ (DRO)
By bringing our computing workloads to the source of renewable energy production, like wind, solar and geo-thermal, we are able to both reduce costs and power our computing workloads with on-site carbon free power resources.
The energy supply and demand problem: why DRO™ matters
Demand for energy-intensive compute is expected to exceed 38GW by 2030 (DigitalBridge 2023).
144 billion cubic feet of natural gas was flared in 2021 (World Bank 2022).
More than 8% of the world's electricity will be consumed by data centers in 2030 vs 1% in 2020 (IEA 2022).
Data centers consumed 690 million megawatt hours in 2021, with about 17% of that total computing demand coming from digital currency mining.
Renewable energy production is asynchronous with power demand leading to curtailment, congestion, & negative pricing.
The transmission infrastructure needed to capture & fully utilize all the renewable energy generated is lagging.

Efficient

Reducing transmission losses (on the order of 5% in the U.S. and higher in other regions) between generation and load
