Diesel generators have been serving the data centers segment for years, and they were a good fit at the time. But in today''s 5G world, with cloud computing and online activity
Operators of data centers — which consume high amounts of electricity per square foot of space — generally choose diesel backup systems over cleaner microgrids, sticking to the tried and true and believing that diesel provides the best reliability option. But that conservative choice yields emissions of carbon and particulates and misses
The Second benefit to having quick-start natural gas generators on site is that they can lower a data center''s emissions. The paper sites reductions of 80% to 90% for NOx and up to 25% for carbon dioxide (CO2). The Third benefit discussed in the paper is that natural gas generators provide new monetization opportunities for data centers.
