French energy and water utility Veolia is launching a new integrated platform aimed at addressing the environmental and operational challenges facing the data center sector. The company said the platform will support the development of data centers into carbon-neutral, water-positive, circular hubs, delivering up to 20% more energy reuse, a 75% reduction in water consumption, and 95% waste recycling and reuse.
The company will focus on several priority growth markets, including the US, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. As part of the initiative, Veolia is targeting more than €1 billion ($1.17 billion) in annual revenue from the data center and microelectronics sectors. Commenting on the announcement, Veolia CEO Estelle Brachlianoff said: “This next-generation offering is designed to support the growth of the strategic digital infrastructure that shapes today’s world. We are proud to be the first and only company delivering a truly global, integrated, and circular solution for data centers.”
This is a strategic market, at the crossroads of the digital and ecological revolutions. At a time when environmental security has become a geostrategic issue, and access to key resources such as water and energy is increasingly critical, helping operators make data centers more resource-efficient, resilient, and connected to their communities is essential. We can help turn these infrastructures into true allies of local communities, delivering environmental value with digital performance.”
The company claims that it is uniquely positioned to meet the demand due to its deep expertise and a global footprint, which it claims will enable “clients to scale operations responsibly, minimizing environmental impact while increasing resilience.”
