Greetings to all. As far as I see, and drawing conclusions from what I read, you will use some "green"
energy to power your "data center", so, I have a question, what is this "green" energy exactly is?
Green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae and geothermal heat. These energy resources are
renewable, meaning they're naturally replenished. Green energy, however, utilizes energy sources that are readily available
all over the world, including in rural and remote areas that don't otherwise have access to electricity. Advances in renewable
energy technologies have lowered the cost of solar panels, wind turbines and other sources of green energy, placing the ability
to produce electricity in the hands of the people rather than those of oil, gas, coal and utility companies.
I believe that there are several types of this green energy, am I right?
Yeap, you are right! There is actually 6 differnt types of "Green" energy:
Solar Power - The most prevalent type of renewable energy, solar power is typically produced using photovoltaic cells, which capture sunlight and turn it into electricity.
Wind Power - Air flow on the earth's surface can be used to push turbines, with stronger winds producing more energy.
Hydropower - Also called hydroelectric power, hydropower is generated by the Earth's water cycle, including evaporation, rainfall, tides and the force of water running through a dam.
Geothermal Energy - Just under the earth's crust are massive amounts of thermal energy, which originates from both the original formation of the planet and the radioactive decay of minerals.
Biomass - Recently-living natural materials like wood waste, sawdust and combustible agricultural wastes can be converted into energy with far fewer greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum-based fuel sources.
Biofuels - Rather than burning biomass to produce energy, sometimes these renewable organic materials are transformed into fuel. Notable examples include ethanol and biodiesel.
"Green" energy is environmentally unharmed for nature, unlike fossil fuels, which harm the ecological systems of our planet releasing a lot of waste into the atmosphere.
