What Could a 40% Reduction in Data Center Energy Use Mean for the Grid?
Chemours highlights the potential impact of two-phase immersion cooling (2-PIC) technology on data center energy efficiency. As data centers' power consumption is projected to increase from 3% to 8% of U.S. power generation by 2030, 2-PIC technology could reduce energy consumption by up to 40%. The company's Opteon™ 2P50 dielectric fluid is designed specifically for this application. Implementation of 2-PIC in U.S. data centers could eliminate up to 21.6 terawatt hours of future capacity, equivalent to powering over 2 million American homes. This innovation addresses the growing cooling demands of next-generation computing chips, which traditional air cooling systems may not meet by 2026.

Chemours hebt die potenziellen Auswirkungen der Zwei-Phasen-Eintauch-Kühlungstechnologie (2-PIC) auf die Energieeffizienz von Rechenzentren hervor. Da der Energieverbrauch von Rechenzentren bis 2030 voraussichtlich von 3% auf 8% der Stromerzeugung in den USA steigen wird, könnte die 2-PIC-Technologie den Energieverbrauch um bis zu 40% reduzieren. Das Dielektrikum Opteon™ 2P50 des Unternehmens ist speziell für diese Anwendung konzipiert. Die Implementierung von 2-PIC in US-Rechenzentren könnte bis zu 21,6 Terawattstunden zukünftige Kapazität eliminieren, was der Stromversorgung von über 2 Millionen amerikanischen Haushalten entspricht. Diese Innovation adressiert die wachsenden Kühlanforderungen der Computerchips der nächsten Generation, die traditionelle Luftkühlsysteme bis 2026 möglicherweise nicht mehr erfüllen können.

Adopting new technology can deliver energy efficiency gains while meeting AI and data center demands
The ballooning energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers are driving big plans to potentially triple nuclear power capacity in the U.S. by 2050. From discussions of restarting a reactor at Three Mile Island to the deployment of small modular reactors, data centers need certainty about how they'll keep pace with data streaming and processing demands at a time when the grid is tapping out.
In the U.S. alone, Goldman Sachs has estimated that data centers, excluding cryptocurrency mining, will increase their power consumption from
While the potential growth and restart of nuclear may offer a long-term solution to support energy demand, it does not address the root issue and is grabbing global headlines recently. Bloomberg reported that a calculation from RMI found that two-thirds of today's energy supply is wasted. That equates to roughly
While strategies to build clean energy capacity are undoubtedly critical to address long-term energy demand, improving energy efficiency may be the low-hanging fruit that can drive meaningful impact now and into the future.
Two-phase immersion cooling - a new type of cooling technology that allows data centers to submerge whole server racks in a high-performance dielectric fluid - represents a huge opportunity to reduce energy consumption as chips run faster and hotter. Broad industry adoption of two-phase immersion cooling (2-PIC) in the U.S. has the potential to eliminate up to 21.6 terawatt hours (TWh) of future capacity according to estimates, the equivalent of powering over 2 million American homes1.
The potential energy efficiency gains are enormous - up to
Chemours is proud to be at the center of 2-PIC technology as the innovator of Opteon™ 2P50, a new developmental dielectric fluid designed specifically for data center needs. Through the activities and collaborations of our Immersion Cooling Growth Venture team, we're working to expedite the commercialization of this fluid, elevate awareness, and drive the adoption of 2-PIC technologies.
As growing high-power computing and AI demands push the limits of what chips can deliver, 2-PIC can keep pace on the cooling side, establishing it as a technology for today and well into the future. So, while work continues to bring more energy capacity onto the grid, data center operators and hyperscalers can make meaningful progress on decreasing the total energy required through smart, sustainable technology adoption enabled by 2-PIC.
