The OCP community is doing a great job advancing operational energy efficiency. But without assessing pre-use (embodied) and post-EOL costs of massive infrastructure scaling, we’re only solving 1/3 of the environmental impact puzzle. Ali Fenn addresses what’s at stake and what it will take. And why the time is now to operationalize circular data centers to redefine lifetimes, maximize financial and sustainability value, and democratize access to growth.

The global IT industry is responsible for 4% of global emissions and on track to double by 2025. With those high stakes, a focus on operational energy efficiency isn’t enough. If we factor the pre-use (embodied) and post-EOL costs of infrastructure scaling, we can solve the other 2/3rds of the environmental impact puzzle. Together we can reverse the trend: democratize access for enterprises globally, maximize the lifetime value of assets, and drive major advances in sustainability.
