APAC Data Centers Cut Emissions with HVO – The Game-Changer Fuel
Data centers in APAC expand to meet growing digital demand, their energy consumption, and associated carbon footprint, is rising. This has created a pressing need for sustainable solutions, pushing operators to explore renewable energy and low-carbon alternatives. One such solution gaining traction is Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable diesel produced from waste vegetable oils and animal fats. HVO allows data centers to reduce emissions from backup generators without major infrastructure changes, bridging the gap between operational reliability and sustainability.
Reflecting this trend, in May 2025, Bridge Data Centres partnered with Hong Kong-based biofuels company EcoCeres to explore HVO integration in backup systems. The collaboration not only demonstrates practical steps toward greener operations but also positions Singapore as a hub for sustainable energy adoption in the APAC data center market.
AI Adoption Unleashes a New Era of High-Performance Data Centers in APAC
The APAC region is rapidly positioning itself as a key hub for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), second only to North America, as industries such as finance, healthcare, and logistics increasingly adopt AI-driven solutions. This surge is driving demand for advanced, AI-ready data center infrastructure capable of supporting high-performance workloads. Leading operators are expanding their facilities and integrating intelligent systems to enhance operational efficiency, energy management, and predictive maintenance.
At the same time, many leading data center and infrastructure companies, such as Equinix and Digital Realty, are expanding facilities and collaborating with technology partners to integrate intelligent systems, enhancing operational efficiency, energy management, and predictive maintenance, while strengthening their AI service offerings across the region.
APAC Data Centers Transform Through Strategic Alliances
Mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures are playing a pivotal role in the APAC data center market, enabling companies to combine resources, local expertise, and technological strengths to enter new markets efficiently while reducing investment risk. In a region marked by diverse regulatory environments and varying digital maturity, partnerships are emerging as a key strategy to scale digital infrastructure and meet the region’s accelerating demand for data and cloud services.
For instance, the January 2025 joint venture between CloudHQ and ESR to co-develop the $2 billion Cosmosquare Data Centre in Japan, providing 130 MW of total capacity, demonstrates how strategic collaborations can expand infrastructure, share expertise, and enhance high-performance digital infrastructure, reinforcing APAC’s competitive data center landscape.
APAC Data Center Surge: Southeast Asia Contributes USD 61.93B – Regional Highlight
The APAC region is a mix of established and emerging data center markets, with China, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, India, and Singapore leading in infrastructure and investment. China remains the largest contributor, accounting for 46% of colocation investments, while Japan is the second-largest market, generating over $2.87 billion in 2024, underscoring its strategic importance. The Southeast Asia region, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Singapore, contributes around USD 61.93 billion, representing approximately 24% of the overall APAC share, reflecting rising investments and rapid market development.
As of June 2025, the region (excluding China) hosts over 850 third-party data center facilities operated by more than 220 companies, with 360+ new facilities planned or under construction. Construction costs vary, with Japan and Singapore among the highest-cost markets due to land, labor, and regulations, while India and China offer cost-effective development opportunities, making APAC an attractive and diverse hub for global data center investment.
