This 20-minute presentation by Christoph Streit (ScaleUp Technologies CEO) and Jeroen Burks (OCP EMEA co-lead) from the Open Compute Project examines how new sustainability regulations are transforming the European data center industry. Explore Germany's Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) and its ambitious goals for carbon-neutral data centers, including the requirement to reduce primary energy consumption by 39% by 2030. Learn about Article 11's strict Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Energy Reuse Factor (ERF) requirements for data centers operating after July 1, 2026, and how these standards will become increasingly rigorous over time. Discover how European regulations are driving the industry toward greater energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and operational transparency. Understand the crucial role of OCP-designed solutions and circular design principles in facilitating this green transition and helping data centers meet these challenging sustainability targets.
