La compañía se compromete a estudiar y evaluar la adopción de tecnologías y procesos de insumo sostenible en las construcciones de data center, en línea con su robusto y pionero Programa ESG

SÃO PAULO, 10 de mayo de 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scala Data Centers, la plataforma latinoamericana de data centers sostenibles líder en el mercado Hyperscale, firma una carta abierta publicada por el liderazgo del Acuerdo Climático iMasons (ICA, su sigla en inglés) que fomenta la adopción de tecnologías y el uso de hormigón verde. La iniciativa busca fomentar el uso de materias primas sostenibles en el segmento de data centers a nivel mundial.

La carta abierta del ICA señala que la producción de hormigón, acero y aluminio es responsable del 23% del total de las emisiones globales de carbono, mientras que la de hormigón por sí solo representa el 11%. Por lo tanto, el ICA recomienda que se use la menor cantidad de hormigón posible o que se especifique y use el hormigón con menos carbono, ya que el material está disponible en escala para el mercado y cumple con los criterios estructurales, de rendimiento y costo.

Actualmente, hay soluciones que permiten reducir el uso de cemento común y, en consecuencia, reducir las emisiones de la producción de hormigón. Entre ellas, destaca el cemento de arcilla calcinada de piedra caliza (LC3), que tiene una huella de carbono de alrededor un 40% menor. Esta y otras soluciones, como el cemento alcalino activado a base de metales de desecho, el sulfoaluminato de calcio (CSA), los geopolímeros y las puzolanas de vidrio reciclado, pueden aumentar las reducciones potenciales de emisiones en hasta un 70% y ampliar el conjunto de materiales cementosos alternativos.

Scala tiene un compromiso inquebrantable con la sostenibilidad y cuenta con iniciativas pioneras en el sector. Los seis data centers de la compañía en operación utilizan energía el 100% renovable y certificada, cuentan con un PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) promedio inferior a 1,4 – el más bajo de la región –, y sus nuevos edificios no utilizan agua en su proceso de refrigeración, es decir, tienen una WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) de cero. Scala también tiene un plan de expansión acelerado y de largo plazo que actualmente contempla la construcción y el desarrollo de 11 data centers en América Latina. Para 2027, serán 33 sitios en Brasil, Chile, Colombia y México, sumando una cartera de más de 900 MW.

"Como líder y pionera en el segmento de colocation Hyperscale sobre bases sostenibles en América Latina, Scala tiene un rol importante como agente transformador. Promovemos una economía de bajo carbono y constantemente buscamos e implementamos innovaciones enfocadas en reducir nuestras emisiones y maximizar la eficiencia y sostenibilidad de nuestras operaciones. Esto ocurre tanto en el consumo de energía como en el estudio y análisis de tecnologías y procesos que optimizan los insumos utilizados, como el hormigón, que desempeña un papel importante en la composición de nuestras materias primas", explica Agostinho Villela, VP de Ingeniería y CTO de Scala.

La compañía es Foundation Partner de iMasons, una asociación profesional global sin fines de lucro fundada en 2016 que tiene como objetivo reunir las empresas responsables de desarrollar la era digital y crear un mundo más conectado para las personas, y que tiene el ICA como una de sus iniciativas. Scala y la entidad trabajan juntas en proyectos como el Capítulo Brasil de iMasons, creado en agosto de 2022, y el primero de su tipo en América Latina, además del propio ICA. Villela lidera este capítulo en el país.
