Latin America’s AI buildout is creating an uncomfortable infrastructure equation: more computing means more power.
Cirion Technologies says it is beginning to break that link, cutting greenhouse gas emissions while expanding the data centre estate carrying the region’s digital workloads.
The infrastructure provider reported an 11% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 compared with 2024, while securing 100% renewable electricity through I-REC certificates for data centres in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
The figures come as hyperscalers and enterprises push increasingly power-hungry AI workloads into Latin America, intensifying scrutiny of data centre energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Cirion operates 20 carrier-neutral data centres alongside more than 54,500km of terrestrial network and 50,433km of subsea infrastructure, serving more than 5,500 customers.
During 2025, it brought SAN2 in Chile and LIM2 in Peru online, with both facilities prepared for intensive AI processing.
Scope 2 market-based emissions fell 10.3%, while Scope 3 emissions dropped 13.4%. Renewable-energy coverage reached 60% in Ecuador and 40% in Argentina, with Cirion targeting 100% renewable electricity for each new data centre.
The company is also turning AI against infrastructure’s energy problem. An AI module integrated into Cirion’s DCIM platform cut HVAC consumption by 13.8% at its BOG2 data centre in Bogotá, with regional expansion planned for 2026.
Cirion also managed 64.4 tonnes of waste during 2025, recycling 40.9% and recovering more than six tonnes of equipment and materials for reuse across its operations.
