 Descriptions

 Next Generation Green Data Centre proposed for this industrially driven collaboration will innovatively integrate novel Malaysian and UK green energy and cooling technologies to reduce energy consumption by 50%, improving energy security and reducing emissions. The project will create a replicable and commercially viable approach to sustainable computing for reconciling urbanisation with environmental risk and climate change globally.

Our project is one of the UK clean cooling research and innovation researches providing sustainable cold solutions for a wide range of applications all around the world. Please read more at https://www.clean-cooling.ac.uk/research.
