The climate impact of data centers is expected to increase due to rising demand for information and communication technology services. At the same time, the European Union aims for climate neutral data centers by 2030. To map potential developments of emissions associated with data centers to the year 2030, we develop a generic data center greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory in accordance with the GHG protocol.

In this context, this work presents a high-performing and stable non-noble metal catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), consisting of [Mo S ] clusters supported on nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs). Strikingly, a significant electrochemically induced activation of the Mo S -NCNT catalyst at high current densities is observed in full cell configuration, enabling a remarkable current density of 4 A cm at a cell voltage of 2.
