According to The World Counts, an open source community-driven project that aggregates consumption data from organizations around the world, more than 4.3 trillion cubic meters (approximately 1.1 quadrillion gallons) of water are consumed globally every year. Tech giants, like Google, Amazon and Microsoft, release their water consumption figures to the public.
Google
In 2022, Google shared its commitment to climate-conscious data center cooling with the release of its water consumption statistics from the prior year. In 2021, Google's data centers consumed approximately 4.3 billion gallons of water. On average, a Google data center consumes 450,000 gallons of water a day.
Amazon
While Amazon does not disclose its total water consumption, a public report stated that AWS data centers use 0.19 liters (L) of water per kilowatt-hour (kWh). For context, the average data center uses 1.8 L of water per kWh. This metric is known as water usage effectiveness (WUE), a term developed by The Green Grid that measures data center sustainability in terms of water usage and its relation to energy consumption. WUE is a ratio of the consumption of water in liters and the consumption of energy in kilowatt-hours. The lower the ratio, the more efficient it is.
Microsoft
Microsoft published both its annual water consumption and its WUE. In total, Microsoft's consumption was nearly 1.7 billion gallons of water in 2022. According to Microsoft, the company's data centers globally use 0.49 L of water per kWh.
Other data centers consume water on a massive scale and do not publish or collect the requisite data to provide an accurate picture of how much water data centers consume globally by the industry. Admins of data centers must recognize the importance of transparency and share their water consumption figures. This will create a baseline for the industry and form new sustainability goals to ensure the industry is doing its part to reduce water consumption, limit climate change and protect water availability.
YTL has become blue chip as they involve in selling electric and water to data center in Johor . Berjaya Group has lot of land at selangor ,is time for them to sell electric and water to data center in selangor, they can earn multi millions from data center
Vincent tan should aware that sime dardy property just do one data center and rent , already can earn 100 millions every years, It is no brainer business, very easily earn money. You need to has land , water and electric. Berjaya group should get into this data center business as fast as possible ,do data center and rent out, will earn money very much . Rich become richer.
Berjaya group just need keep on accumulate salcon ,probably take over as salcon just 425 million market capital , and earn alone for supply water and electrity
I thought Air Selangor (MB selangor) owns selangor water and not salcon? Salcon is only an EPCC contractor? Hmmm.... but something is brewing here surely
Salcon Bhd is a water engineering company. It provides water treatment for palm oils, domestic water supply for plantation workers and swimming pools as well as selling engineering equipment to the plantation and building service industries. The company is engaged in the investment, design, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants and ancillary facilities across Asia.
Salcon also has renewable energy ⚡️and IT services fibre optic cables for AI/DC ✅
Today is World Water Day 2024, a United Nations Observance that celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis in support of water and sanitation for all by 2030. As climate change impacts increase, and populations grow, there is an urgent need, within and between countries, to unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource.
The earth’s surface is composed of 71 percent water. Of that, less than one percent is available for human consumption. Most of it is either salt water, frozen in polar ice caps or inaccessible (i.e. too far under the earth’s surface to be extracted). The fresh water that is available for use isn’t just used for human consumption. Critical industries like agriculture and manufacturing rely on community water supplies. Data Centers also require water to perform critical functions like keeping IT equipment cool so that they don’t overheat. Comparing the percentage of water available to humans to the vast amount of water being used for data center cooling, manufacturing and agriculture you can quickly deduce that it is a precious and scarce commodity.
NPR reports the average data center uses 300,000 gallons of water a day to keep cool, roughly equivalent to water use in 100,000 homes. Many data centers directly consume water on-site to remove the heat generated by the IT equipment.
# Water is the most crucial element for all the industries and human needs ✅
Since 2012, the Group has invested in solar energy business abroad and locally to support renewable energy development initiatives.
Salcon Power HK Ltd In 2012, the Group ventured into its first renewable project in the United Kingdom (“UK”) through Salcon Power HK Ltd. The Company invested and built 5MW solar photovoltaic systems in the southern UK, covering over 1,600 residential rooftops from 23 locations. The development is in line with The Department of Energy and Climate Change’s initiative to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions through renewable energy.
Inergist Sdn Bhd In Malaysia, the Group, through its subsidiaries, Inergist Sdn Bhd (f.k.a. Salcon SER Sdn Bhd) and Satria Megajuta Sdn Bhd, have successfully developed and commissioned the 1.48 MWp solar generating facilities on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis under Net Energy Metering 2.0 programme in 2021. The solar generating facilities are expected to produce approximately 1.8 million kWh of green energy per annum, which is the equivalent of powering 654 households, simultaneously reducing 30,248 tonnes of CO2 emissions throughout the Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA)'s tenure.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
