Define the Challenge and Context

The global telecom and data-center ecosystem is expanding rapidly due to AI, 5G and cloud computing. This growth drives surging electricity use, making the sector responsible for 2–3% of global emissions, potentially rising to 14% by 2040 without intervention. To stay on SBTi trajectories, operators must cut emissions 45% by 2030 through efficiency, renewable power and clean-energy integration.

FAQs

What are the main sources of emissions in telecom and data centers?

Most emissions come from electricity consumption (Scope 2), backup fuel use (Scope 1) and hardware manufacturing or logistics (Scope 3).

How can telcos cut energy-related emissions?

By procuring certified renewable electricity (GoOs, RECs, I-RECs) and optimizing efficiency through smart cooling, automation and White Certificate programs.

What are Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and VPPAs?

PPAs and VPPAs allow companies to finance renewable energy projects, secure long-term clean power and claim verified Scope 2 reductions.

How does STRIVE by STX help telcos meet sustainability goals?

STRIVE delivers integrated market access to renewable energy, biomethane and biofuels, helping telcos meet RE100 and EED targets with execution certainty.
