In coming years, the data center industry will face growing pressure to find workable ways to integrate renewable energy sources into projects. The demand is driven by the need for improved efficiency, the growth of corporate social responsibility programs and the potential for U.S. federal legislation that will place caps on carbon emissions. Our speaker will discuss the promising new developments in renewable energy technology for the data center, as well as his latest venture in clean energy research at the Kennedy Space Center.
