Illustrative data center co-location concept
THE APPLICATION

Power for compute.
Energy from local resources.

Explore a co-located energy system for data centers: waste-derived syngas for power generation, with recovered process heat assessed for cooling. Designed around the electrical load, resource supply and resilience requirements.

Illustrative data center co-location concept

Plan power and cooling
as one system.

A co-location design links the conversion facility, syngas-compatible generation equipment and the data center’s energy systems. Recovered heat can support an appropriately selected adsorption-cooling system where temperature levels and cooling demand align.

Local power generation

Match syngas supply and generation capacity to the site’s operating profile, grid arrangements and backup architecture.

Recovered-heat cooling

Assess available heat, chiller performance, heat rejection, water requirements and integration with the cooling loop.

Resilience by design

Plan redundancy, maintenance and backup resources around the data center’s service requirements. Baseload capability alone is not an uptime guarantee.

Co-location starts with the load

Electrical demandIT load, total facility load and growth phases.Define the supply boundary and phased generation requirement.
Thermal integrationRecovered heat and cooling-water conditions.Calculate useful cooling and auxiliary loads for the local climate.
Site compatibilityFeedstock transport, permitting, land and utilities.Assess the conversion facility alongside data center siting needs.
ReliabilityMaintenance, fuel buffers and backup systems.Coordinate the complete system with the operator’s availability standards.

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Is this emergency backup or a baseload concept?

The proposed role is planned ongoing energy supply. Backup generation, storage and grid arrangements remain part of the site-specific resilience design.

Is recovered-heat cooling free?

Recovered heat can reduce purchased energy for cooling, but chillers, pumps, heat rejection and maintenance still have costs. Economics must be assessed for the site.

Is this an operating reference project?

The illustrated co-location is a concept for project development. Any operating reference or performance guarantee must be identified separately.
