CyrusOne is collaborating with Bonneville
Environmental Foundation and Trout Unlimited to promote water
conservation and sustainability
CyrusOne Inc. (NASDAQ: CONE), a premier global data center real
estate investment trust (REIT), announces its second net-positive
water data center at the Company’s Carrollton, TX location. The
Carrollton data center is the single largest CyrusOne data center
in the United States and is located in a high-water stress region
as designated by the World Resources Institute.
“Data center operators across the world are becoming more aware
of the significant water usage at these facilities,” said Kyle
Myers, Senior Director of Environmental Health, Safety and
Sustainability at CyrusOne. “This is a great way to celebrate World
Water Day on March 22 and a milestone moment for CyrusOne to
further our goals on our path to a sustainable future.”
Over the past year, water efficiency projects completed at the
Carrollton location have reduced onsite water consumption by 67%.
By leveraging our zero water-consumption cooling technology,
CyrusOne will save millions of gallons of water annually in a
drought-prone region.
The collaboration with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation
(BEF) and Trout Unlimited will restore to regional watersheds 20%
more water than CyrusOne consumed at the site in 2020. BEF was
CyrusOne’s partner in the Company’s first net-positive water
facility in Chandler, Arizona, and they are pleased to work
together again on the Carrollton project. Trout Unlimited partners
with agencies, farmers, and water managers to flexibly manage,
store, and deliver water during critical times of the years to
increase flows in waterways and facilitate groundwater recharge. By
leasing water, exchanging water at critical times, and shifting the
timing of water delivery, project partners have been able to
increase habitat for fish and provide important economic and
community benefits for residents in the region.
“Addressing water scarcity will require us to not only reduce
consumptive water use but also restore water to nature,” said Val
Fishman, Chief Development Officer at BEF. “We’re excited to have
CyrusOne on board as a leader and partner helping to keep water in
rivers during times of water stress. Through Water Restoration
Credits, CyrusOne is supporting innovative projects on the Upper
Rio Grande region that help farmers, agencies, and water managers
restore water flows.”
This project exemplifies CyrusOne’s commitment to minimize
impacts to the local environment and communities in which we
operate and also deliver benefits when possible. The Carrollton
project is the next step toward our effort to become net water
positive in high water stress regions across the company’s global
data center portfolio. This is in addition to the announcement
earlier this year that the facility will begin incorporating
renewable energy in 2021, in support of its Zero Carbon by 2040
target.
