Data centers are energy hogs in a big way. This we know. And they’re energy hogs because they’re busy helping us update our Facebook status, tweet the latest news blips, buy our e-books, and check our email. We focus primarily on the data centers themselves, which can be retrofitted or built to be energy efficient. However, every so often, we catch wind of projects that are trying to green the web from another direction – primarily, through the users and alternative energy sources. That’s where Greenscroll comes in.

When IBM researchers went looking for a better coolant for high-powered computers, they didn’t have to look very far. Working alongside researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), IBM has developed a water-cooled, high-performance computer that will recycle waste heat while reducing energy consumption at data farms. Known as the Aquasar, its carbon footprint could be 85% less than similar air-cooled systems, saving 30 tons of CO2 per year while augmenting buildings’ heating systems.
