Insights
Chemours' announcement of a full-scale product trial for Opteon™ 2P50 with NTT DATA and Hibiya Engineering represents a strategic advancement in their commercialization pipeline. This partnership moves their immersion cooling technology beyond lab testing into field trials—a critical step toward commercial contracts and revenue generation.
The data center cooling market presents substantial growth opportunity as AI and high-performance computing demands intensify. Chemours is positioning this product to capture market share in what's becoming an increasingly urgent infrastructure challenge for the tech sector. The claimed performance metrics are compelling:
From a competitive standpoint, Chemours' focus on sustainability differentiates their offering, with the ultra-low global warming potential (GWP of 10) and circular reuse capabilities addressing both operational efficiency and environmental concerns—two critical priorities for data center operators facing intensifying regulatory and cost pressures.
While this announcement doesn't indicate immediate revenue impact, it demonstrates meaningful progression in commercializing an innovative solution for a high-growth market segment. The partnership with established industry players like NTT DATA enhances credibility and potential market access, creating a more defined pathway to commercial adoption for this specialized chemical solution.
This partnership represents significant progress in addressing what's becoming known as the "data center cooling crisis." Two-phase immersion cooling technology is emerging as a important solution as traditional air cooling methods hit physical and economic limits under escalating computational demands from AI workloads.
The technical specifications of Opteon™ 2P50 address multiple pain points in the data center ecosystem. Eliminating nearly all water consumption is particularly valuable as data centers face increasing scrutiny over water usage in drought-prone regions. The
The trial's inclusion of multiple stakeholders—from operators to equipment manufacturers and design firms—suggests a comprehensive approach to validating performance across the entire value chain. This ecosystem-wide testing is critical for technology adoption in risk-averse enterprise environments.
What's particularly notable is how this technology addresses several constraints simultaneously: thermal management, energy efficiency, water conservation, noise reduction, and space utilization. By eliminating these multiple bottlenecks together rather than addressing them individually, Chemours' solution could enable meaningful advancement in data center capabilities at a time when computational demands are growing exponentially with generative AI deployments.
Partnership marks an important step in product commercialization and aims to enhance data center efficiency and sustainability using innovative two-phase immersion cooling technology

The product trial was designed to address the growing data center energy and cooling gap. As data centers evolve to meet the demands of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI), they generate more heat and higher energy demand. This collaboration will explore next-generation cooling technologies that ensure optimal computing performance today and into the future, while supporting significant gains in data center efficiency and sustainability.
“We are pleased to partner with Chemours and the broader data center value chain to accelerate the practical application of liquid and immersion cooling technologies through this field trial,” said Kouhei Kurotaki, Deputy Manager of Technology Consulting Division at NTT DATA Japan. “Opteon™ 2P50 directly addresses the growing heat generation and energy use challenges facing data centers, and we believe this trial will help address key value chain questions. By driving joint verification and specification we can fully meet customer requirements, support safe construction and operation, provide more sustainable IT services, and ultimately accelerate adoption of innovative technologies.”
The field trial will engage a wide range of industry participants from data center operators, equipment manufacturers, and engineering design firms to IT vendors and research institutions.
“Joining forces with these industry leaders for an Opteon™ 2P50 field trial represents an exciting step forward in our journey to help solve the big data energy and water crisis,” said Izabela Jasinska, Liquid Cooling Venture Leader. “As AI adoption grows and next generation graphics and central processing chips become the standard, traditional cooling technologies simply cannot keep up. We developed Opteon™ 2P50 specifically for data centers, to not only increase the performance and efficiency criteria, but also to dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of data centers around the globe.”
Opteon™ 2P50, Chemours’ developmental dielectric thermal management fluid, has an ultra-low global warming potential of 10 (AR6) and superior performance capabilities compared to traditional or single-phase cooling technologies. This developmental fluid can eliminate up to:
-
90% of data center cooling energy, -
40% of overall data center energy consumption, - Nearly eliminate water use in most climates,
- Significantly decrease interior noise pollution, and
-
Reduce the physical data center footprint by up to
60% . - Additionally, the fluid can be recovered, reprocessed and reused in perpetuity, creating a circular solution.
Chemours’ participation in this trial underscores the company’s dedication to sustainable innovation and partnership with industry leaders to address the data center cooling gap.
