How we reduce the environmental impact of computing

while getting access to abundant energy

Digital Renewable Optimization™ (DRO)

By bringing our computing workloads to the source of renewable energy production, like wind, solar and geo-thermal, we are able to both reduce costs and power our computing workloads with on-site carbon free power resources.

The energy supply and demand problem: why DRO™ matters

Demand for energy-intensive compute is expected to exceed 38GW by 2030 (DigitalBridge 2023).

144 billion cubic feet of natural gas was flared in 2021 (World Bank 2022).

More than 8% of the world's electricity will be consumed by data centers in 2030 vs 1% in 2020 (IEA 2022).

Data centers consumed 690 million megawatt hours in 2021, with about 17% of that total computing demand coming from digital currency mining.

Renewable energy production is asynchronous with power demand leading to curtailment, congestion, & negative pricing.

The transmission infrastructure needed to capture & fully utilize all the renewable energy generated is lagging.

Benefits of DRO™

Renewable

Improving the economics of renewable energy assets through creative commercial structures that minimize downside risks while offering upside in scarcity pricing environments

Co-located

Helping rebalance the local transmission infrastructure by bringing load to the generation source and reducing curtailment

Efficient

Reducing transmission losses (on the order of 5% in the U.S. and higher in other regions) between generation and load
