A Swedish startup’s bid to build a green rival to AWS
Corporate fluff aside, AWS is on track to run on 100% renewables by 2025[1] so the selling is mostly "European cloud" since the green part will be mostly expected by the time they actually ramp up. Competition is always good though.<p>> Studies by 451 Research have shown that AWS’ infrastructure is 3.6 times more energy efficient than the median of U.S. enterprise data centers surveyed and up to five times more energy efficient than the average in Europe. 451 Research also found that AWS can lower customers’ workload carbon footprints by nearly 80% compared to surveyed enterprise data centers, and up to 96% once AWS is powered with 100% renewable energy—a target we’re on path to meet by 2025.<p>[1] <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/energy/sustainability/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/energy/sustainability/</a><p>EDIT:<p><pre><code>  - GCP, 100% renewable by 2030 https://cloud.google.com/sustainability
