The Google Saint-Ghislain Campus, located in St. Ghislain-Mons, Belgium, is a significant data center facility that exemplifies technological innovation and sustainability. This campus utilizes chilled water sourced from an industrial canal for server cooling and incorporates a solar farm to contribute to power generation, positioning it as a leader in climate-friendly data solutions.

Since 2007, Google has invested over €5 billion in Belgium for data centers and related infrastructure. The Saint-Ghislain facility was Google's first data center outside the U.S., opening in 2010, with an expansion completed in 2015. Notably, it features Belgium's first battery-based system for replacing generators at a hyperscale data center, shifting energy usage to carbon-free hours and demonstrating an alternative backup power model. In 2022, Google achieved an 82% carbon-free energy score for its operations in Belgium. Furthermore, Google collaborated with HELHa Engineer university college in 2019 to launch a Data Centre program focused on facilities maintenance, addressing the industry's need for skilled personnel.
