This is the Ecofris datacentre, billed as one of the most efficient datacentres in the world. Built by Keysource, the datacentre relies on a technique called air separation and recirculation to make it as energy efficient as possible.
The facility in Weybridge, Surrey, belongs to onshore and marine seismic data acquisition and analysis company Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS).
It's been operating since just before Christmas, and PGS is on course to reduce annual power consumption by 15.8 million kWh and CO2 emissions by 6.8 million tonnes.
silicon.com went to see the datacentre in action.
