Low Carbon Technology and Infrastructure

Decarbonizing technology and infrastructure requires an understanding of both material science and system design. Zamin Consulting bridges these domains by integrating life-cycle analysis, supplier engagement, and industry partnerships to reduce embodied carbon from the rack to the foundationOur expertise extends from data-center equipment and electrical systems to the materials that enable them — including steel, aluminum, copper, rare earth elements, and battery components. We collaborate with manufacturers, suppliers, and research organizations to identify practical substitution pathways, validate data, and accelerate adoption of low-carbon technologies across global supply chains.

Low Carbon Hardware and Electronics

Zamin supports technology and manufacturing teams in quantifying and reducing the carbon footprint of hardware and electrical infrastructure. Our approach combines engineering analysis with supplier coordination to ensure that carbon accounting is embedded in every design decision.

Focus Areas:

Hardware and Component LCA: evaluate embodied carbon of racks, switchgear, generators, and enclosures.
Batteries and Energy Storage: assess supply chains for cathode materials, lithium, nickel, and cobalt; support recycling and circularity strategies.
Semiconductors and PCBs: review upstream material intensity, fab-level energy use, and sourcing of rare earth elements.
Supplier Readiness and Verification: engage OEMs on EPD reporting, renewable-powered manufacturing, and Scope 3 alignment.
Industry Partnerships: coordinate with alliances and buyers groups advancing low-carbon hardware standards and disclosure frameworks.

Integrated Technology and Infrastructure Services

Zamin helps organizations apply decarbonization principles to complex hardware, data, and industrial systems. We combine engineering analysis with supplier partnerships to ensure that sustainability standards extend beyond buildings and materials to the technologies that power them. Our work supports clients in identifying measurable carbon savings across product design, manufacturing, and infrastructure deployment.

Lifecycle and Systems Assessment

We evaluate technology and infrastructure assets through a full life-cycle lens, from component manufacturing to field operation and end-of-life recovery. Our focus areas include:

Embodied and operational carbon modeling for data center equipment, switchgear, and enclosures
System-level LCAs for industrial and energy hardware
Integration of energy efficiency and materials sourcing in performance modeling

Supplier and Industry Collaboration

Zamin bridges the gap between product manufacturers, hyperscalers, and industry alliances to accelerate adoption of low-carbon technologies. Our focus areas include:

Collaboration with suppliers on renewable-powered manufacturing and material substitution
Support for industry working groups (ICA, SSBP, WBCSD) and voluntary disclosure frameworks
Guidance for harmonizing supplier data across regional and corporate reporting systems

Standards and Verification

We help clients align emerging technologies with the evolving ecosystem of carbon accounting and disclosure requirements. Our focus areas include:

EPD preparation and review for technology hardware
Scope 3 boundary definition and data mapping
Documentation for Buy Clean, EN 15804, and corporate sustainability reporting
