A £5.3 billion hyperscale data centre planned on London's green belt is expected to emit over 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to 27,000 transatlantic flights. Despite being marketed as a zero-carbon facility, planning documents reveal emissions that challenge the UK's net-zero targets. The East Havering Data Centre would span 175 hectares and deliver up to 600 MW capacity, with features like hydrogen fuel cells and battery storage still in development. The project faces scrutiny as it could significantly impact the UK's carbon footprint while promising economic benefits and local jobs; a final council decision is pending.
