Being Green
Verne Global capitalises on Iceland’s natural supply of
renewable energy to fuel its energy-intensive opera-
tions, and mitigate the environmental effects of run-
ning artificial intelligence and machine learning work-
loads.
Iceland’s temperate climate also means the data center
campus utilises free air cooling to keep its hardware
cool all year round.
As of May 2022, Verne Global and Landsvirkjun, the
national power company of Iceland, have announced a
collaboration which will see Verne Global trial and de-
ploy hydrogen fuel cells to produce back-up power for
its Icelandic data center campus. The two companies
will work together to enable the transition to green hy-
drogen power produced with Iceland’s renewable en-
ergy.
