Global data center and storage provider Iron Mountain reports it will use ClearTrace energy and carbon accounting platform to track its energy usage and carbon emissions hour-by-hour, as a step towards going 100 pct carbon free.

ClearTrace will provide digital infrastructure for the analysis which will be traceable and verifiable for carbon reporting, and will help Iron Mountain work with suppliers to procure renewables that match its current hourly shortfalls.

Matching carbon hourly, instead of on an annual basis, will reduce carbon emissions tangibly, and cites a study by the Princeton Zero Lab which suggests that these measurements will make the transition to 100 pct carbon-free energy more achievable.

According to Iron Mountain , it is the first colocation data center to achieve carbon free hosting in three of its US data centers which have been using the ClearTrace platform. The method is being rolled out to seven additional sites .
