Across European campuses, Edged is advancing a lower-carbon approach to critical infrastructure by powering standby generators with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), an ultra-clean biofuel that reduces carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to diesel.
As demand for high-density, always-on digital infrastructure grows, backup power remains a non-negotiable requirement. Ensuring resilience without compromising sustainability is a key challenge for modern data center design. HVO enables Edged to meet both needs simultaneously, delivering reliable standby performance while significantly reducing environmental impact.
Unlike fossil-fuel based diesel, HVO offers cleaner combustion with lower particulate emissions, reducing local air quality impacts and supporting streamlined permitting. It is fully compatible with Tier 4 Final generator systems, allowing seamless integration without sacrificing performance, response time, or operational reliability.
Beyond emissions reduction, HVO supports a broader shift toward sustainable infrastructure at scale. By lowering lifecycle carbon impact across backup power systems, Edged campuses align more closely with customer sustainability goals and evolving regulatory requirements without introducing additional complexity into operations.
For customers, this translates to resilient backup power designed for continuous uptime, reduced emissions across both primary and standby energy systems and fewer environmental constraints during development and operation.
HVO is one part of a larger approach to rethinking data center infrastructure where performance, efficiency and sustainability are engineered together from the outset.
