Project Clover: TikTok upgrades data security in a green way

19 May 202526 July 2025By admin

As part of Project Clover, TikTok’s data security initiative, all three buildings in its Norwegian data centre are now online. The data centre in Hamar, Norway, developed by Green Mountain, plays an important role in the local economy, but sustainability is also a core focus.

The data centre is operating with a highly efficient energy model and TikTok is actively exploring ways to repurpose waste heat from the facility for local use, thereby further contributing to Norway’s green energy transition.

TikTok has invested heavily in Project Clover, its €12bn initiative over 10 years, which is designed to ensure European user data is protected for its 175m European users.
