The　low-carbon　transformation　of　data　centers　is　of　great　significance　to　achieve　the　goals　of　carbon　peaking　and　carbon　neutrality.　This　study　compared　and　analyzed　the　overall　situation　of　data　centers　in　China.　Based　on　China＇s　CO2　emission　and　intensity　targets　in　key　years,　the　four　variables　of　energy　efficiency　improvement　rate,　nonfossil　energy　consumption　proportion,　negative　emission　technology　intensity,　and　waste　energy　utilization　rate　were　introduced,　and　a　net　zero　emission　path　model　of　data　centers　was　established.　Using　scenario　analysis　to　predict　the　total　CO2　emissions　and　emission　intensity　from　2021　to　2060,　three　emission　reduction　path　scenarios　were　obtained.　Results　showed　that　the　energy　consumption　of　data　centers　increased　gradually,　the　carbon　emissions　first　increased　and　then　decreased,　and　the　power　usage　effectiveness　(PUE)　of　the　data　centers　decreased　gradually.　The　carbon　peak　time　of　the　three　scenarios　is　2030,　and　the　time　for　carbon　neutrality　is　2055,　2053,　and　2051　in　three　scenarios.　The　data　center　industry　should　further　improve　the　energy　efficiency　utilization　rate,　increase　the　proportion　of　nonfossil　energy　consumption,　strengthen　the　technological　innovation　of　carbon　capture　and　storage,　enhance　the　level　of　carbon　sink,　and　optimize　the　utilization　rate　of　waste　energy.　©　2024
