Could Data Centers be the next high-growth opportunity for supercapacitors?

Globally, most of the electricity used by data centers comes from fossil fuels. While data center hyperscalers have long been offsetting this with market-based RECs (renewable energy certificates) and PPAs (power purchase agreements) from wind and solar projects, a transition to location-based and time-matched accounting is anticipated. This will demand new investment in low-carbon technologies that can meet the continuous power needs of data centers. IDTechEx's "Sustainability for Data Centers 2027-2037: Green Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players" report analyses the role emerging clean energy technologies could play in data center decarbonization.
