Magnus Bach, Atoco’s VP of Business Development, featured in Carbon Pulse
In an interview with Carbon Pulse, our VP of Business Development, Magnus Bach, unfolds how our carbon capture technology can leverage existing airflow and ultra-low-grade waste heat of data centers to enable a wider adoption.
How data centres can help to squeeze the expense of direct air capture
Data centers are becoming one of the most critical infrastructures of the digital economy. As demand for AI, cloud computing, and digital services continues to grow, so does the pressure on operators to improve sustainability, reduce emissions, and make better use of energy already available on site.
Data centers already manage large airflows and generate continuous streams of ultra-low-grade waste heat. These are two of the main requirements for Direct Air Capture (DAC), yet in most settings they are expensive to create from scratch. In data centers, they already exist as part of normal operations.
At Atoco, we see this as untapped potential. Our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is based on nano-engineered reticular materials that can leverage the ultra-low-grade waste heat of data centers to regenerate. This means, rather than treating ultra-low-grade waste heat as a byproduct, data centers can turn it into a resource with our technology.
In an interview with Carbon Pulse, our VP of Business Development, Magnus Bach, explains how Atoco’s DAC technology can help enable wider adoption by making use of the existing conditions inside data centers.
