ST Telemedia GDC replaces conventional diesel with vegetable oil to power data centres

50,000 litres were initially deployed.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) deployed Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to its data centres in Singapore, as a renewable fuel replacing conventional diesel for backup generators.

The company initially deployed 50,000 litres and is the first data centre operator in Singapore to deploy HVO.

HVO is a renewable diesel alternative produced from waste fats and vegetable oils. It is compatible with most existing diesel engines without modification. Also, it significantly reduces carbon emissions, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The company sources HVO from fuel supplier Neste, who has issued Proof of Sustainability that HVO reduces GHG emissions by up to 90% over its lifecycle, compared to fossil diesel.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
