Q&A
At Net Zero Compute, we don’t just help you reduce emissions — we help you lead the way in sustainable, future-proofed technology.Whether you’re scaling AI workloads, optimizing costs, or achieving Net Zero, we deliver smarter, greener and globally scalable solutions.Here’s everything you need to know about how Net Zero Compute empowers your business — today and tomorrow.

What does Net Zero mean for my company’s IT operations?
A:
Net Zero means your IT operations balance all carbon emissions by removing or offsetting them — resulting in a truly sustainable infrastructure.
With Net Zero Compute, your company can achieve real carbon neutrality, supporting ESG goals without sacrificing performance.
👉 Learn how we can help you reach Net Zero faster.

Q:
How is Net Zero Compute different from Green Compute?
A:
“Green Compute” is a broad and often unmeasured concept.
Net Zero Compute delivers a clear, certifiable goal — full carbon neutrality in your IT operations.
👉 Demonstrate real impact, not just green marketing.

Q:
What are the main sources of emissions in IT?
A:
Average emission breakdown:
• Data Transmission (36%)
• Operational Energy (33%)
• Equipment Lifecycle (27%)
• Building Infrastructure (5%)
We address all areas — not just server operations.
👉 Shrink your carbon footprint across every layer of your tech.

Q:
How do you create energy neutrality on-site?
A:
We re-use waste heat to dry organic waste, capturing methane and creating biomass to generate bioenergy.
This ensures sustainable, on-site energy production.
👉 Power your compute sustainably — independent of the grid.

Q:
How do your AI factory re-use waste heat compare to those using it for district heating?
A:
The re-use of waste heat for district heating often has an efficiency of ~4%, due to the incompatibility of different business infrastructures.
Our purpose-built thermal heat capture system achieves up to 80% efficiency, with no external infrastructure needed.
👉 Maximize sustainability with smarter heat re-use.

Q:
How do you guarantee biomass supply for your energy systems?
A:
Organic waste is abundant, responsible for 10–20% of global CO₂ emissions.
Our AI factory are placed near secure organic waste sources, providing a cross-industry solution.
👉 Rely on a resilient, circular-energy model.

Q:
How can you guarantee low fixed prices for five years? Will this apply to all future sites?
What is a Net Zero Cluster, and how does it benefit us?
A:
We hedge energy purchases and can generate energy ourselves, this will be possible globally.
This lets us guarantee your fixed price for five years, even if markets fluctuate.
👉 Protect your IT budget against rising costs and benefit from stable pricing - worldwide.
