enable a holistic approach to problem-solving . Partnerships can promote sustainable business practices and corporate responsibility across the energy supply chain .”
From Hatem ’ s experience , collaboration is key to making significant strides toward sustainability . For example , Rönesans works closely with TotalEnergies and has recently received a £ 680m ( US $ 861m ) investment from the UK government for a high-speed electrified railway in Turkey spanning 286km across the south of the country which is expected to reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 150,000 tonnes annually .
“ We believe in collaborating with customers , peers and other industry leaders on environmental matters regarding critical digital infrastructure ,” DiFilippi adds . An example being how Vertiv , as a member of The European Data Centre Association ( EUDCA ), is helping to contribute to the development of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact , which is a major self-regulatory initiative setting guidelines to help meet the European Commission ’ s goal for climateneutral data centres by 2050 .
The role green energy will play in sustainability pursuits Off the back of Rönesans Enerji making strides in its own green energy endeavours , such as working towards Turkey ’ s renewable energy goals with a milestone investment in three wind turbine projects of 189MW with the Nordex Group and Heitkamp Industrial Solutions , the company hopes to increase its installed capacity to 355MW by the end of 2024 . This is in line with Rönesans Enerji ’ s goal of producing 2GW of renewable energy by 2028 .
“ The year 2024 and beyond will be busy for us as we endeavour to realise additional green energy investments in Turkey ,” Hatem details . “ The evolving landscape is likely to witness increased global cooperation , leveraging shared expertise and resources to address pressing sustainability challenges .”
DiFilippi echoes this reinforcing the leading role Vertiv plays in advancing the use of dynamic grid support , long duration batteries and fuel cells .
“ 2024 will be an important year for fuel cell integration ,” he predicts . “ We will make this new technology available to our customers supporting reduced generator starts and replacement for diesel generators as backup power . This commitment aligns with our broader sustainability goals , showcasing our dedication to minimising environmental impact and embracing innovative solutions . By integrating distributed energy resources , we ’ re not just meeting present demands but anticipating the evolving needs of our industry and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient digital landscape .” energydigital . com 63
