KHAZNA STRENGTHENS CLIMATE RESILIENCE ACROSS DATA CENTRE PORTFOLIO WITH ALPHAGEO INTEGRATION
Khazna Data Centers, a global leader in hyperscale digital infrastructure, has enhanced its climate risk preparedness by deploying AlphaGeo, an AI-powered platform for environmental and infrastructure resilience analytics.
The move reinforces Khazna’ s leadership in sustainable infrastructure and supports its alignment with the UAE’ s Net Zero 2050 strategy.
Through AlphaGeo, Khazna now conducts forward-looking climate risk assessments across its entire portfolio, integrating physical climate projections, infrastructure resilience and socio-economic indicators into site selection and planning. The platform is actively supporting engineering, ESG and finance teams with real-time data that informs long-term design decisions and operational risk management.
“ Climate change is no longer an abstract risk. It’ s a tangible challenge for infrastructure operators with asset-heavy portfolios. AlphaGeo enables us to quantify those risks, surface vulnerabilities and act on them,” said Elisabetta Baronio, Senior Program Manager – ESG at Khazna.
“ This is a critical step in turning our sustainability goals into operational resilience.”
Already, insights from the platform have validated the future readiness of several Khazna sites and prompted improvements in areas such as water access planning and temperatureresilient equipment specification. The integration has also sparked broader cross-functional collaboration and will contribute to long-term financial exposure modelling.
By embedding climate intelligence into the core of its operations, Khazna continues to set a benchmark for responsible, future-ready digital infrastructure, supporting national priorities while enabling customers to grow sustainably.
Sabey Data Centers, a leading data centre developer, owner and operator, has announced a 25.2 % reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions from a 2018 baseline even as electrical load under management has continued significant growth in the same interval. The company’ s 2024 Sustainability Report details progress in environmental performance, technology innovation and clean energy partnerships intended to set a new bar for the global data centre sector. both scalable and sustainable for the world’ s fastest-growing industries. Our work with TerraPower, local utilities and SBTi showcases the kind of bold collaboration needed for a climatesecure future.” �
The 2024 report shares data on Sabey’ s emissions reductions, energy efficiency improvements and external partnerships. The company continues to align its emissions reductions with its science-based targets and is working to achieve net zero carbon emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2029.
The report outlines the steps Sabey is taking to meet its net zero goal. These include continued investment in carbon-free energy, improving building operations to reduce energy use, reducing emissions from HVAC and fuel source and helping customers better understand their own energy footprints.
“ Data centres are the backbone of the digital economy and AI revolution but must become stewards of global decarbonisation,” said Casey Mason, Sr. Energy & Sustainability Manager.“ We are not just on track for net zero by 2029, we’ re reimagining how critical digital infrastructure can be
