Google Ireland Ltd's planned new data centre for south Dublin will indirectly contribute 224,250 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum without any mitigation measures.
The new 72,400m2 data storage facility data centre will involve the construction of eight data halls on a 50 acre greenfield/brownfield site The report states that the duration of the effects on climate"is considered to be short-term, as, in accordance with CAP24, 80 per cent of the electricity grid will be renewable by 2030, thereby significantly reducing carbon emissions".
On the new data centre plan, the planning report states that"investment in the proposed development will ensure that GIL will be able to meet the increasing demand for ICT services in Ireland. Without this project progressing, GIL will struggle to provide services to customers".
