Ireland IBX Data Centers · Transition modelFACILITY

The Dublin facility sits in the Ireland (ex 602) watershed with Low-Medium baseline water stress (BWS score 1.07, label "Low-Medium 10-20%") and an overall physical risk score of 0.96 (Low, <25%), with modest coastal (1.20) and riverine (0.86) flood scores and low water depletion (0.58). The dominant dependency for an IBX asset is grid electricity for power and cooling, and the dominant impact is Scope 2 GHG emissions tied to the Irish grid, currently carbon-intensive at 256.38 gCO2/kWh (2025, Ember Yearly Electricity). No flow-level water or energy consumption data is populated in this dataset, limiting quantification of site-level intensity.

By 2030, IEA WEO 2024 STEPS projects the Irish grid emissions factor falling sharply to 130 gCO2/kWh, roughly halving current intensity and directly reducing this facility's Scope 2 footprint if energy consumption holds steady. Physical water-risk horizon data (2030/2050/2080 water stress and depletion scores) is not populated, so forward-looking hydrological pressure cannot be assessed from this dataset; today's Low-Medium baseline stress and Low overall risk label remain the only reference points.

The grid trajectory continues to 50 gCO2/kWh by 2050 under STEPS, implying a roughly 80% reduction in grid carbon intensity from 2025 levels and a strong tailwind for Scope 2 decarbonisation of this asset without requiring facility-level intervention. Residual physical risk appears low given current drought (2.83), coastal flood (1.20), and riverine flood (0.86) scores, though the absence of 2050/2080 water-stress horizon labels means long-term hydrological risk is effectively unverified rather than confirmed benign.
