Alibaba Cloud: Accelerate the use of clean energy in data centers. Heyuan Center will use 100% clean energy next year

Zhou Ming revealed that "advanced technology" and "green and low carbon" have become key words for new data centers. Alibaba Cloud integrates AI with low-carbon site selection, clean energy, liquid cooling technology, etc. Application, accelerate the innovation and iterative upgrade of green energy-saving technology, and achieve "use less electricity, use good electricity, and use green electricity".

According to reports, Alibaba Cloud engineers have developed a black technology of "soaking servers in water". Rows of servers are immersed in insulating coolant, and the heat generated can be directly It is absorbed by the coolant and enters the external circulation for cooling. The energy consumption for heat dissipation in the whole process is almost zero, and the energy saving effect exceeds 70%, achieving 100% mechanical-free refrigeration in the data center.

After years of “green IT” research and development, Alibaba Cloud has reduced the overall energy consumption of its data center by more than 70%, becoming the first domestic cloud vendor to fully meet the national green data center standards. At the same time, we actively adopt clean energy, ranking first in the national Internet industry in trading clean electricity and carbon emission reduction. Among them, the data center in Heyuan will use 100% clean energy as soon as next year. In the future, more Alibaba Cloud super data centers will use clean energy. .

"Green is the gold standard for testing data centers." Zhou Ming said that Alibaba Cloud will continue to strengthen investment in green self-research technology innovation, actively carry out clean energy power transactions, and promote carbon emission reduction in data centers. .
