#EuroDaCe is a new project to compile a #crowdsourced database of public information about #datacenters, with a focus on facilities operating within Europe and towards estimating their environmental footprints (carbon and water usage).
Critical geospatial information is sourced from #openstreetmap but must be further processed and combined towards creating the desired impact metrics.
Description and first release are available here:

For those interested to dig into the topic, a review of the (rather technical) area of measuring #datacenters #environmental impact (GHG emissions, water usage), alongside the key literature references is available here. It highlights the challenges in terminology, measurement methodologies and disclosure practices, for the different business models (enterprise, colocation, cloud) which lead to contradicting and partial views. https://www.openriskmanagement.com/big-picture-around-data-center-environmental-impacts/
