Sustainability

Clean compute, designed in from day one.

Sustainability is part of a Caldera project's design from site selection onwards. Power, cooling, backup and noise are decided before the engineering is signed off, because that is when they can be decided well.

Four design commitments.

The same principles apply to every project, adapted to the resources of each site.

01 — Power

Green and renewable supply

Each AI factory is powered by renewable generation contracted under a long-term power purchase agreement, matched to the site's local resources.

02 — Backup

Low-emission backup generation

Backup plant is specified for the lowest practical emissions, so resilience does not come at the cost of the carbon footprint.

03 — Water

Near-zero water draw

Cooling is designed to need almost no water from local sources, leaving it for the communities and agriculture around the site.

04 — Noise

The highest level of noise reduction

Acoustic attenuation is engineered into the layout, enclosures and plant selection, so the facility is a quiet neighbour.

Supporting scope 3 across the AI supply chain.

For the makers of AI hardware, the electricity their products use in customers' facilities counts towards their own scope 3 emissions. Where accelerators run is part of their footprint.

  • For technology manufacturersCapacity on renewable power lowers the use-phase emissions of the hardware deployed in it, which supports the scope 3 reporting of the companies that make it.
  • For offtakersWorkloads run on clean power and with near-zero water draw, which helps buyers meet their own ESG commitments.
  • For fundersA clear environmental case, designed in and documented, supports ESG-aligned and development-finance capital.

Local expertise, local value.

Sustainability is also social. Each project is delivered with specialist partners from its own region.

Engineering

Grounded in local conditions

Local power, geology and civil-works specialists know the ground, the grid and the climate.

Supply chain

Built close to the site

Sourcing locally where we can shortens supply chains and keeps value in the host economy.

Capability

Skills that stay

Each project builds lasting engineering and operations capability where the AI factory stands.
