Circular Economy Synergies and Trade-offs in Data Centres

arXiv:2608.04571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This report analyses data centre (DC) sustainability and circularity, revealing existing synergies and trade-offs: The PUE is too coarse, mixing cooling and power provisioning. It wrongly attributes server fan consumption and transformation losses to IT energy. It does not measure compute but infrastructure efficiency, which is already outstanding. Compute energy, however, is exploding. Better energy metrics for DCs would thus cover i) compute ef
