Scientists reveal powering AI data centers with clean energy instead of fossil fuels could save up to $13 trillion in climate and health costs while cutting emissions by a third. The solution exists, but it requires political will and fair cost-sharing by tech companies.
Investors just bet $210 million on floating AI data centers that generate their own power from ocean waves. The bold solution tackles energy and cooling challenges facing traditional data centers on land.
The data center industry is experiencing a transformation as dramatic as the Industrial Revolution, driven by AI's explosive growth. Texas alone is tracking over 225 gigawatts of new projects, with data centers making up 70 percent of those requests.
After a $1 billion mega-data center deal fell through, Kenya is leading Africa toward a smarter solution: small, locally-powered AI centers that won't drain the power grid. Experts say this distributed approach could give Africa real control over its AI future.
A Yale professor says sharing information openly could speed up carbon removal technology and help fight climate change faster. The approach could turn competing companies into collaborative problem-solvers.
China just powered up the world's first underwater data center that runs directly on offshore wind energy and cools itself with seawater. This engineering breakthrough could slash data center energy use by billions of kilowatt-hours while freeing up land and freshwater.
A new clean energy startup backed by Sam Altman just launched a solution to power massive AI data centers without straining local electric grids. The technology stores solar energy as heat and converts it to electricity on demand, solving one of tech's biggest climate challenges.
Industry leaders across Africa are embracing co-location data centers as the breakthrough solution to power challenges and infrastructure gaps holding back the continent's digital growth. The strategy is already accelerating cloud and AI adoption while attracting major global investment.
A groundbreaking solution called clean energy parks could tackle two major challenges at once: powering America's booming data centers while eliminating pollution from factories. This approach promises cleaner air, stable electricity bills, and major progress on climate goals.
One of the world's largest data infrastructure companies just committed to large-scale carbon removal to fight climate change. NTT DATA is teaming up with Swiss climate tech leader Climeworks to offset emissions from its growing AI and data center operations.
Scientists have figured out how to turn energy-hungry AI data centers into virtual batteries that stabilize power grids and speed up clean energy adoption. The same technology creating our energy crisis might be smart enough to solve it.
A startup backed by Sam Altman just launched a solution to power AI data centers with clean energy around the clock, using innovative solar technology that stores energy as heat. The approach could fuel America's AI boom without straining local power grids.
A Kenyan court ruled that Worldcoin illegally collected iris scans from citizens, ordering the company to delete all biometric data within seven days. The landmark decision marks a major win for privacy rights in Africa's growing digital economy.
A startup just cracked the code on producing clean hydrogen for under $1 per kilogram by drilling wells into iron-rich rock deep underground. The breakthrough could reshape where data centers are built and finally make hydrogen power affordable for everyone.
Data centers in Texas are solving water worries with cooling systems that use less water than a backyard swimming pool. The innovation comes as the state faces its worst drought since 2023.
Researchers discovered a simple solution to prevent AI systems from "collapsing" when they run out of human-made data to learn from. Adding just one verified human data point to AI training can stop models from spouting nonsense.
As artificial intelligence explodes, the energy-hungry data centers behind it might find their power solution in rooftop solar panels and electric vehicle batteries. Tech leaders are connecting the dots between distributed clean energy and computing's future.
AI-driven data centers are ditching the old AC power system for direct DC power, slashing energy waste and copper needs by nearly half. It's a tech revolution that makes computing greener and more efficient.
Mongabay, a global environmental news outlet, just created a dedicated Solutions Desk to spotlight what's actually working to save the planet. The team will rigorously investigate and share real-world conservation wins so readers can find hope and replicate success.
New data reveals women drive powerful climate solutions yet remain locked out of funding and policy decisions. Empowering women could be the climate breakthrough we've been missing.
