Have you done modelling integrating wind + solar given likely cost curve of same.
DC planner here looking on how to optimally disperse a few (hundred?) GW of new flat, inflex demand in 200MW chunks geographically.

Hi! Irish/EU climate/energy policy addict for about past 15 years. Twitterati since year 1. Big fan Leah!
Currently EU lead for a large Datacenter owner in the weeds of decarbonising. Nerd on all things sustainability accounting.
Joy of seeing a troll free thread😍

He's a Shellenberg/Epstein wannabe who specialises in that type of plausible sounding disinfo.
Blocked him a year ago.
Unfortunately, shit attracts eyeballs over there.

Every DC over 1MW (lots) is obliged to export, unless technically or economically impossible, also under EED.
Germany has transposed as a 40% waste reuse factor by 2025/6 ( almost impossible as far fewer offtakers than amount of export).
Am on EUDCA WG on waste heat

From May 2024, every DC in Europe (under Energy Efficiency directive) needs to publicly report by site : power & water usage, PUE, WUE, waste heat usage... and a bunch of other data

The more expedient pushback on LNG export from NA would be that it increases gas prices for US consumers.

I never said I "liked" scope 3. 😉
It's a pain in the hole. Just a useful one at times.

I mean I've given you a whole bunch of concrete (sic) examples of where counting and owning scope 3 results in carbon reductions but not a lot more I can do if you have priors.

A recent nearby AWS DC scope 3 calc has led to engineering out 50% of embodied carbon under baseline. Until you're counting, you don't know what's important.
And as for steel/concrete, early buyers matter

Say I hypothetically run a 100MW datacentre.
My scope 1 are tiny as my backup gens are never used.
My scope 2 is (actually!) zero where my IT customer determines drawdown by IT load and power is € passthru.
My scope 3 is €1B of construction capex that I determine and can reduce intensity by 50%!
