The rapid expansion of the data center industry, fueled by cloud-based services and data-intensive technologies like AI, has led to growing energy demands and environmental challenges. In fact, data centers currently consume up to 1.5% of global electricity, up nearly 12% per year over the past five years.
Key cooling innovations—such as immersion cooling, adiabatic systems, and natural refrigerants—are helping to address these issues by improving energy efficiency, reducing water use, and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, strategies to repurpose excess heat are transforming waste into valuable resources. Advanced cooling solutions are critical for ensuring data centers remain reliable, sustainable, and adaptable to future demands.
