Sustainability

Designed for
Responsible Growth

Natural resource stewardship will be embedded in the design and daily operations of the Wyoming data center campus. Vantage will operate under a tailored sustainability blueprint designed to achieve responsible growth while actively protecting Wyoming’s natural resources.

Energy and Emissions

The Wyoming campus will utilize an innovative power framework to minimize environmental impact. Primary power will be generated on site by an adjacent natural gas facility. The station will use advanced reciprocating engine technology equipped with state-of-the-art emissions control systems.

To ensure long-term sustainability, Vantage is also planning a future grid interconnection. This link will support both the on-site generation facility and the data center infrastructure, bolstering Wyoming’s grid reliability for residents and businesses without impacting their utility bills because of this development.

Water Usage and Cooling

Water conservation is a critical priority. The Wyoming campus will be engineered for extreme water efficiency, achieving water positivity by restoring more water than it consumes annually.

  • Operational efficiency: The adjacent power station’s reciprocating engines will utilize closed-loop cooling systems with air-cooled radiators, resulting in minimal operational water consumption.
  • Minimal resource draw: Daily operations for the entire 1,800-acre campus will consume an amount of water equivalent to about 75 local homes annually. The initial filling of the closed-loop cooling infrastructure will use a single-year equivalent of approximately 100 homes.
  • Responsible sourcing: Water will be drawn from on-site wells, tapping specific aquifer sources verified by hydrologic studies and managed in direct coordination with the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office.
  • Restoration Investment: To achieve our water-positive mandate, Vantage plans to invest directly in Wyoming-based water benefit initiatives such as wetland and floodplain restoration projects. For every 100 gallons of water the Wyoming campus uses, Vantage will restore 110 gallons of water in the state.

The Wyoming campus will use a closed-loop cooling system, which continuously recycles water to conserve one of nature’s precious resources while reducing impact to local infrastructure. This cooling technique reduces water usage significantly compared to traditional data center cooling methods.

Land and Wildlife

Spanning 1,800 acres, the campus layout will prioritize a biodiversity net gain. Architectural guidelines call for low-profile buildings, natural landforms and expansive landscaped buffers to screen the facilities from nearby public roads, preserving Wyoming’s open vistas.

The campus will use native, drought-tolerant vegetation that thrives without permanent irrigation systems. These ecological design choices will double as sound-reducing buffers, mitigating operational noise to ensure the facility functions seamlessly as a quiet neighbor.
