Swedish data center operator EcoDataCenter has switched the fuel for its mtu emergency power generators from fossil diesel to sustainable Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
Eco Data Center has gradually expanded at its first major location in Falun, Sweden, and since 2017 has relied on mtu gensets from Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division for its emergency power supply. 32 mtu systems based on Series 4000 engines are already ensuring that data from the data center’s customers is backed up even in the case of an outage from the public grid. The next 16 gensets have already been ordered for further expansion. BOS Power, as a local partner and solution provider for mtu products in Scandinavia, is significantly involved. It is claimed that using HVO (Neste MY Renewable Diesel), CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 95%.
