Data Centers turn to Vegetable Oil for their generators

“A growing number of data centers are turning to vegetable oil, as a cleaner fuel for their generators, to reduce their impact on the environment. Compass Datacenters became the latest company to adopt fuels based on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to fuel the generators that provide backup power for their data centers. The Compass announcement is part of a larger shift in the industry, which includes some of the largest operators. HVO fuel is dramatically better for the environment compared to traditional, mineral diesels. It is 100% renewable, biodegradable, sustainable and non-toxic.”
