Data centres are estimated to consume approximately 1% of global electricity use and contribute to 0.3% of all global CO2 emissions. Climate-neutral data centres have therefore become an important challenge. iDT4GDC aims to develop Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twin technologies into a cloud AI platform to digitalise, optimise and automate data centre operations for sustainability purposes. iDT4GDC will guide data centre operations and management towards a sustainable future along the five pillars of power, carbon, water, circular economy and governance.

• Develop an AI-driven intelligent digital twin platform for sustainable data centers.

• Optimize energy consumption and cooling efficiency in data centers.

• Enhance carbon footprint tracking and reduction strategies.

• Increase renewable energy adoption in data center operations.

• Implement AI-powered predictive analytics for resource management.

• Support real-time monitoring and automation through IoT integration.

• Align with global sustainability standards and regulatory frameworks.

• Conduct Proof-of-Value (PoV) trials in diverse climate conditions.

• Establish a scalable business model for long-term adoption.

• Provide decision-support tools for policymakers, investors, and data center operators.
