Lenovo Liu Wenchao: Smart computing power low -carbon data center can help financial enterprises' dual carbon strategy landing
Author:Cover news Time:2022.06.30
On June 29th, Liu Wenchao, vice president of Lenovo Group and general manager of the industry business department of the infrastructure business group of China, shared the in -depth thinking and practical experience of scientific and technological innovation to promote the high -quality development of green finance around the strategic goal of carbon and carbon and carbon neutrality. And announced the low -carbon calculation of Lenovo's exploration of data centers.
In the process of promoting green finance and digital transformation, the data center has become a key infrastructure for landing, and it is also an important measure to achieve dual carbon strategy. Building green, secure and efficient data centers has become an important starting point for the financial industry. This is not only the financial industry to perform social responsibilities and political responsibilities, but also the only way for sustainable development of its own business.
On June 1, the CBRC issued the "Guidelines for the Banking, Insurance, and Green Finance", which required bank insurance institutions to promote green finance from a strategic high degree, increase support for green low -carbon circular economy, and prevent the risks of the environment, society and governance. Promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and help achieve carbon peaks and carbon neutrality.
In the process of promoting green finance, the data center has become the "target heart" of major financial institutions. As the key infrastructure of the financial industry, the data center plays a very important role in the rapid development of fintech development and digital transformation. In a number of policy documents issued by the state, clear requirements are made for the energy consumption standards of the data center. Therefore, the safe, efficient and green data center of the financial industry is an important measure to implement new infrastructure and achieve the goal of double carbon strategic goals.
In combination with relevant policies, the state has three major directions for the construction data center: first, through intensive supply, efficient scheduling, improving computing power and energy efficiency; second, through green management, heat recovery, overall PUE, improve energy use efficiency; third In the long run, the financial industry should increase the use of clean energy and improve the energy structure.
But the challenge from the data center is not small. Some experts have stated that data centers may be one of the "most difficult bones" in our 2030 carbon peak target. The data center is a high -energy consumption department. In the past ten years, the PUE of the data center of the financial industry is generally greater than 1.5, but the policy requires that this number is reduced to 1.5 or even 1.3. At the same time, data centers also face problems such as low facilities and equipment operation efficiency, shortage of available in computer rooms, and hidden security risks for new technologies.
Under the "double carbon" goal, the financial industry is also exploring efficient, secure and green data centers. Some experts mentioned that they have conducted in -depth research from the aspects of standard system, planning site selection, construction plan and intelligent management, and continue to explore the future development direction of the green low -carbon data center. Some experts believe that in the process of exploration, the red line of security must be ensured. In the construction and operation management of data centers, it is necessary to meet the government's positioning, meet the regulatory requirements, and meet the development of the enterprise.
With the acceleration of the digital transformation of the financial industry, the demand for the layout of the financial data center is increasing, the scale of construction has continued to expand, the difficulty and challenges of low -carbon transformation are prominent, and scientific and technological innovation is particularly urgent. Financial institutions themselves not only need to practice hard work, but also need the industry to empower the industry. Essence For example, wisdom computing power and cutting -edge technology have played a very important supporting role in improving green financial services and empowering the high -quality development of green finance.
The innovation and practice of fintech has gradually reduced the bank's on -site business and improved production efficiency; on the other hand, it is necessary to make large -scale investment in data centers. Only in these two aspects can provide better financial services solutions, but this also increases the number of servers in the data center. "Smart computing power low -carbon data center is of vital to help financial enterprises' dual carbon strategy." Liu Wenchao said.
Liu Wenchao announced the following four key steps of the low -carbon computing of Lenovo's exploration of data centers:
The first step is carbon emissions traceability. The energy consumption generated during the production and operation of the data center, including power consumption. However, the carbon emissions of the data center not only come from the energy consumption of the device, but also the energy consumption generated by these equipment based on raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, on -site construction, and even future scrap treatment. Chain energy consumption. ‘
The second step is to find the way to reduce carbon emissions directly. For example, choose low -carbon companies as their own suppliers to improve their practice in the ESG field. Lenovo has participated in the disclosure of carbon emissions since 2010, and reused and utilized the reuse of resources such as energy saving, emission reduction, packaging, and large -scale use of renewable clean energy. Class A. At the same time, Lenovo is also building a national intelligent manufacturing demonstration base, Lenovo Innovation Industrial Park.
The third step is to use effective recycling mode. For example, at the Yang Yuanqing Science Calculation Center of Li Zhengdao Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the heat used in the recycling device used can provide heat for the spherical transportation hall and the kitchen water in the two physical laboratories and the entire environment. After calculation, the annual annual reducing carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced throughout the year. The total amount of carbon emissions will be reduced by 52%compared with the traditional data center, of which directly reduced emission reduction, and the heat recovery compensation provides 10%. Effects realize the real low -carbon computing and low -carbon operation.
The fourth step is to increase the proportion of clean energy.Wind energy, solar energy and other renewable energy are intermittent and volatile weaknesses. Data centers also need to rely on fossil energy to a certain extent. You can try to explore carbon trading solutions. By purchasing green power certificates with renewable energy, indirectly realize the right to rightUse of green power.
