ServerHouse reinforces commitment to the environment with carbon neutral energy provider

ServerHouse, a leading colocation provider based in Fareham, has changed energy providers to embrace a carbon neutral approach as part of its continued efforts to follow a sustainable energy strategy.

The new energy source is part of a proactive green approach to energy consumption and will be used across ServerHouse’s datacentres. The energy provider will generate power by using a bio-mass boiler that burns waste bio matter products. These products include forestry residues and residual agricultural products such as recycled wood, straw, sunflower seed husks and peanut husks which are all waste products of other industries and are already carbon neutral, since the carbon deposits have been captured in their previous growth cycle. The process will make ServerHouse a carbon neutral datacentre, not through carbon offsetting, but rather by carbon neutralising.


Gary Coates, Manager at ServerHouse commented: “This new contract to use a carbon neutral bio-mass energy provider reaffirms ServerHouse’s commitment to green sustainability and our ability to embrace new ways of minimising our impact on the environment.


“We continuously monitor and improve our systems to be as energy efficient as possible and are registered for the UK's CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment).”


Sustainable methods already implemented to date at ServerHouse include free cooling, aisle containment, automated and LED lighting, and a rolling UPS replacement program, which has resulted in a 28% saving in energy usage. Furthermore, ServerHouse offers to bill clients on a power on usage basis so that they are never paying for spare or unused capacity and therefore encouraging energy efficiency.
