One thing is clear: digitalization itself consumes

The federal government must therefore massively push forward the expansion of renewable energies. With 100 percent green electricity, every household can surf and stream on the Internet in a way that is almost climate-neutral . At the same time, we need to effectively promote the energy efficiency of data centers: the electricity requirements of data centers in Germany currently amount to a good 12 billion kilowatt hours per year - that is about as much as Berlin consumes annually.

To date, this energy is too often released into instagram database the environment as unused waste heat. The impending shutdown of coal-fired power plants is causing a significant deficit in district heating supply, which needs to be compensated. Industrial waste heat, particularly from data centers, is ideal for this.

Politicians must now set the right course so that digitization can become the key to more climate protection and sustainability - not only in Germany, but throughout Europe. Aligning digitization in such a way that it optimally supports our major goals of sustainability and climate protection is the major task that politics, business and society now face together."
