    Our Data Centers

    Viro AI, Viro's own model, runs in data centers powered by 100% clean energy, with zero fossil fuels. They're in Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and Finland, on grids powered by hydro, geothermal, and wind.

    Where does Viro AI run?

    • Akureyri, Iceland100% hydro and geothermal. Cooled by direct liquid cooling and cold Atlantic air. Its waste heat warms a community greenhouse, and the site won DCD's Environmental Impact Award in 2025.
    • Blönduós, Iceland100% hydro and geothermal. The Arctic climate carries most of the cooling load year-round, for an efficiency (PUE) of 1.03.
    • Keflavík, Iceland100% hydro and geothermal. On the same clean Icelandic grid.
    • Glomfjord, Norway100% hydropower. Beside hydropower dams on the Arctic Circle. Fjord water cools the racks in a closed loop, and about 85% of the waste heat is headed for nearby fish farms.
    • Dublin, Ireland100% renewable electricity. Viro's EU home, so European chats are processed inside the EU.
    • Helsinki, FinlandRenewable hydroelectric and wind power.

    These sites run at a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.03 to 1.31, so nearly all of their electricity goes into computing rather than overhead like cooling.

    What does 100% clean energy mean?

    It means the power itself is clean. These data centers sit on grids that run on hydro, geothermal, and wind, so Viro AI is clean by geography, not by carbon offsets or certificates.

    ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude run in their providers' own data centers. Viro labels them Energy matched and funds new renewable energy to cover the electricity your chats with them use. See Energy & Impact.

    How are they cooled?

    With cold outside air and closed-loop liquid cooling that recirculates water instead of evaporating it, so they use far less water than typical data centers. Several also put their waste heat to work, warming a greenhouse in Iceland and fish farms in Norway. See Does Viro AI Use Water?
