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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
