A-Gas joined as a member of the Technical Committee, whose mission is to bring together industry experts and foster discussion on the latest trends and emerging technologies. The goal is to support the development of a sustainable and sovereign digital infrastructure for Europe, enabling a more conscious and digital transition.

The EUDCA, in collaboration with over 60 member organisations, represents the collective interests of the European data centre community. It provides a vital platform for operators to engage with policymakers and industry leaders, promoting a sustainable and sovereign digital infrastructure that supports Europe’s twin green and digital transition.

As a new member, A-Gas looks forward to sharing its expertise in refrigerant management, particularly with F-Gases. The recent update to the EU F-Gas Regulation introduces stricter controls on high-GWP refrigerants, many of which are still in use in data centre cooling systems. These changes include equipment phase-outs and stricter leak detection rules, urging operators to adjust maintenance strategies and prioritise sustainable design in new builds.

“Becoming a member of EUDCA Technical Committee represents a great opportunity for A-Gas to bring to the table our expertise on refrigerants and refrigerant management,” said Vincent Homrighausen, A-Gas EMEA Managing Director. 'The Data Centre cooling industry sees a high influx of capital investments on the back of cloud-based computing and AI development. Considering the size and environmental impact of these centres globally, transitioning towards sustainable solutions is critical.”

A-Gas collaborates with stakeholders to understand their objectives, risks, and challenges, and offers a suite of Lifecycle Refrigerant Management-based solutions that address the multifaceted challenges faced by stakeholders as they seek to manage their refrigeration needs.

For over 30 years, the business has helped its partners navigate the complex environmental landscape by supplying lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) gases and enhancing industry circularity. Through advanced refrigerant recovery and reclamation technologies, we ensure that used refrigerants are reclaimed for future reuse or safely destroyed, thereby reducing emissions and preventing their potential release into the atmosphere, which could be harmful.

At A-Gas, we recognise the significant role EUDCA plays in advancing circular economy practices within the data centre sector. By joining this community, we are excited to deepen our collaboration with like-minded organisations and contribute to building a more sustainable future.
