Aquifer ‘thermal batteries’ may cut AI data center cooling demand and save water – Tech Xplore

Researchers are exploring the use of aquifer “thermal batteries” as a potential solution to reduce cooling demands at AI data centers while conserving water resources. The technology would leverage underground aquifers to store and regulate thermal energy, potentially offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional cooling systems that consume significant amounts of water. The approach aims to address growing environmental concerns associated with the energy-intensive cooling requirements of large-scale AI infrastructure.
