ST Telemedia GDC replaces conventional diesel with vegetable oil to power data centres

50,000 litres were initially deployed.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) deployed Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to its data centres in Singapore, as a renewable fuel replacing conventional diesel for backup generators.

The company initially deployed 50,000 litres and is the first data centre operator in Singapore to deploy HVO.

HVO is a renewable diesel alternative produced from waste fats and vegetable oils. It is compatible with most existing diesel engines without modification. Also, it significantly reduces carbon emissions, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The company sources HVO from fuel supplier Neste, who has issued Proof of Sustainability that HVO reduces GHG emissions by up to 90% over its lifecycle, compared to fossil diesel.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
