Have you ever wondered about how we use free cooling from the fjord for our data center at SVG1-Rennesøy? Sure, many times..😜 Nevertheless, here is a quick explanation👇 The solution is brilliantly simple: 💧The water enters our cold-water basin through use of gravity only, from pipes reaching 100-meter depth. 🥶This chilled 8˚C-water circulates through a titanium heat exchanger. 💦Before discharging back into the fjord. ♻️In this closed loop system, the chilled fresh water circulates around the facility via redundant/compartmentalized paths. This means that there is no extra water usage. Moreover, the heated sea water discharged back into the fjord has no negative environmental impact either 🦞Soon Norwegian Lobster Farm can use this heated seawater directly in the breeding of their lobsters as well. Cool cooling, right? #SettingTheGreenStandard #DataCenters #GreenMountain

📢A new chapter in the Green Mountain history Our highly valued CEO, Tor Kristian Gyland, has decided to step down and hand over the leadership responsibility to Svein Atle Hagaseth. (Former CSO in the company.) His extensive international network and experience fits well with the company’s strategic ambition of building a leading sustainable pan-European co-location provider. We thank Tor Kristian for his dedicated service to Green Mountain and his commitment to the company’s vision of #SettingTheGreenStandard in the data center industry.💚 At the same time, we are confident that our new CEO will lead us steadily into the future to fulfill our goals and ambitions. 📈 You can read the full press release here👇

Reduce, reuse and recycle ♻️ Waste management is an important part of sustainable operation. That is why our employees always try to think of ways to reuse, reduce and recycle before they dispose of anything🚮 Here is a good example 👇We had a lot of empty cable drums that the local charity organisation, Gjenbruken Rennesøy, now can transform into furnitures for their customers. We got to clean up, they get some furnitures to sell. Circular economy in practise! ♻️💚 #SettingTheGreenStandard #DataCenters #GreenMountain

A great data center is not all about the technical solutions. In Green Mountain, we believe the most essential part is the people who run it. 👷‍♀️🧑‍💼🙋‍♀️ In the new editions of Data Centre Magazine, Sustainability Magazine and Technology Magazine we are featured in an article discussing this topic. Torkild Follaug, Irene Vikingstad, Abhishek Jagga and Rikke Tangen Dishington share their views and thoughts on our people-centric philosophy and how it creates great results. 📈🌱 We would also like to thank our partners, CTS-Nordic AS, Schneider Electric, Altibox Carrier, and Coromatic AS . We see them as our extended team and colleagues, all contributing to our goal of #SettingTheGreenStandard. 💚 As our CEO, Tor Kristian Gyland, always says: “In the end, it’s all about the people!”🫶

Joking aside, we take electrical safety seriously😅 We started the year with a workshop to increase safety for our employees and vendors working with electrical operation and maintenance🔌 Representatives from each data center came together for two days to improve and align procedures and instructions. This team will control the electrical installation to ensure safe operation. Happy weekend everyone, may it be a good one! 🥳 #SettingTheGreenStandard #DataCenters #GreenMountain
