More than 40% of today’s data centers are powered by natural gas, according to the IEA. While solar and other renewable sources only account for 24%, this energy mix is likely to change as tech companies continue to seek energy sources that fulfil their carbon emission targets. 

This panel will evaluate alternative sources from solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal and more.
