It has inked the PPA with PacificLight Energy (PLE) and Rexus Bioenergy (Rexus). The deal will see PacificLight offtake renewable energy generated from Rexus&#8217;s waste wood-to-energy (WWtE) biomass plant and supply it to Google.<\/p>\n<p>This clean energy will support Google&#8217;s data center and operations in Singapore as the company aims to reach its goal of operating on 24\/7 carbon-free energy by 2030. Rexus says its 13.2MW WWtE plant in Singapore will be the first of its kind, It takes waste wood which is otherwise non-recyclable, such as horticultural waste and timber from the logistics industry such as used palettes, and burns it to use as fuel for the power plant. It sits alongside an electrical wood processing system and a high-volumetric vertical silo where biomass is stored and handled by a Smart 3D visualization handling system.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is expected to begin commercial operations in 2026 and will operate on a 24\/7 basis. It will also be paired with a pilot-scale carbon capture system where the captured CO2 will be channeled towards \u201cdownstream utilizations,\u201d the companies said. Google operates three data centers in Singapore, and recently expanded its footprint there, taking its investment in the city-state to $5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterdynamics.com\/en\/news\/google-signs-waste-wood-recycling-ppa-for-singapore-data-centers\/\">Data Center Dynamics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-568\/\">Google signs waste wood recycling PPA for Singapore data centers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,839,15533,1134],"class_list":["post-132773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-google","tag-ppa","tag-singapore"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132773\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
