Abstract
This white paper evaluates the potential of a new energy system configuration: Strategic colocation of data centers - on airport property or adjacent to airports - in order to realize significant operational, economic, and environmental benefits to airports, data centers, and the communities they serve. While increasing demand from both airports and data centers requires both parties to make significant infrastructure investments, colocation can mitigate some of the energy, land use, permitting, and connectivity challenges of siting and powering these industries.
