Sustainable Energy … Is it a pillar of the future of data centers in the Middle East?

With the acceleration of digital transformation in the Middle East and North Africa, the pressure in the data centers, which is the basic infrastructure of this transition, is increasing. The increase in technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, “Blackchain” and digital assets increases the demand for the power necessary to maintain these centers. But in an abundant area with unlawful fuel resources, there is a special opportunity to maintain the digital economy in a steady way.

Mohammed Al -Mohammed Al -Mohammad Al -Mohammad Al -Mohammad, Managing Director of Hodler Investments, is no longer an option in an interview with “Al -Shark Al -Avat”, but it is no longer an option, but it may become the main source of emissions, even though this sector is the backbone of the digital economy.

Energy ambiguity in data centers

The Middle East and the North Africa region is looking for unprecedented digital growth led by Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Finante Technology, Smart Cities and Digital Assets. As a result, the demand for data centers, heavy or peripheral (Edge data centers); Every center here eats a dozens of hundreds of MW.

In high-temperature Gulf areas, cooling is only 40-50 percent of energy consumption, according to studies. With this rapid demand, the need for a double, which is to quickly expand the digital structure, but to consider energy efficiency.

Innovative solutions for new energy features

According to Muhammad Al -Masree, the region is not only facing sustainable challenges but also leads new trends in the field. It refers to 3 main innovations, which are “Khalaf al -be” power designs; Unlike or explained fuel resources, such as wasted gas and solar energy, are used to feed data centers directly to data centers without relying on traditional networks. Second, advanced cooling systems such as hybrid cooling using water or immersion are methods that significantly reduce the energy used in cooling, especially in hot weather. The third innovation is “blockchain” to monitor the power; It is used to track power consumption and trading carbon credits, which add a layer of transparency and flexibility in energy management.

From waste to investment

Using secondary output gas in the most distinctive innovations, which are often wasted or baked on oil and gas sites to operate mobile data centers.

Al -Masri explained that this model will change the burden of the environment to the economic source. He reduces emissions, increases the efficiency and the concentration of computing by bringing it closer to fuel sources.

Capacity, emissions and expenses

The practical benefits of constant power have become clear in numbers; Since the effect of energy consumption (PUE) is significantly improved, it often decreases less than 1.2 in stable areas.

Mohammed al-Mazri explained that carbon emissions have fallen by 40-70 per cent compared to the centers based on the network. Operational costs were less thanks to local cooling and energy expenses, but where did you have a deeper effect on digital sovereignty and power?

While talking to Ashark al -Avsat, Mohammed Al -Masree replied: “When we use power in its own product, we do not return to transfer it too far, and it will restore the relationship between local resources and society, gives opportunities to the peripheral areas, and creates wealth in all watts.”

Modern technologies change the rules of the game

Modern technologies no longer use energy, but effectively contribute to their maintenance. Artificial Intelligence Systems can actually distribute cooling and electricity in real time, while smart sensors can support the assessment management and reduce the breakup before they occur. Blackchain is used in Energy Trading and Carbon Credits.

“Modern technologies have made energy strategies more active and smart.” The inclusion of a small network in the wave of Al -Mosury’s latter innovation, which means that there is a normalization of cooling with solar energy, batteries and gas, as well as immersion in dense computing environments.

Although institutional framework is still under development, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Egypt are increasing support for sustainable infrastructure.

Al -Mosury warns that “the company can open the doors or impede progress” and warns that “sovereign fuel needs transparent and prestigious policies to build the economy.”

Tips for Operators

Mohammed Al -Mosree advises the owners of data centers in the area to begin to understand your energy use, and then designed a local strategy. “He settled near fuel resources, blew up multiple resources and invested in effective cooling methods.” It emphasizes “the importance of choosing partners who understand the power system and digital system.” He says: “Sustainability is not a single solution, a comprehensive challenge.”

“Hodler” is currently working on a simple project for a standard data center working with burning gas and solar energy mixture and is used to cool into the immersion in addition to the carbon trading platform on the site. It is designed as a reference to the world -rich regions of the world.

Al -Mosury believes that his company will not only build data centers but also redefine the marketing method of product, consumption and energy to build a more simple, sterile and comprehensive digital economy. ” With the growth of the aspirations of the digital area, it may be constant fuel strategies that determine the Middle East in the map of global technology.
