According to the International Energy Agency, the data centre sector's demand for electricity is shooting up by around 16% each year.
In an effort to cater to these power-hungry facilities sustainably, the industry is exploring all kinds of avenues. Lately, that search for clean, dependable energy has led some companies to the ocean.
Eco Wave Power, as its name suggests, is a company in the business of wave energy. The Israel-based firm is currently working with NVIDIA, where its AI and digital twin technologies are helping to refine the Eco Wave Power offerings.
Energy providers and infrastructure developers are increasingly looking beyond conventional sources to meet growing demand. Eco Wave Power believes the answer may lie in the consistent motion of ocean waves.
Using NVIDIA Omniverse's digital twins, the company is building systems that convert wave movement into electricity. Its inclusion in the NVIDIA Inception programme’s Sustainable Futures initiative reflects a broader push to combine renewable energy generation with advanced computing.
