A Renewable Solution To Keep Cool In A Warming World

An alternative cooling method for Bitcoin mining centers, large buildings, airports, hotels, hospitals etc that is not frequently considered, is seawater air-conditioning (SWAC)—a renewable alternative for cooling that involves pumping seawater from ocean depths of around 700 to 1200 meters and temperatures of 3°C to 5°C to the coast, where it exchanges heat with a district cooling system. SWAC uses up to 90% less electricity when compared to conventional air conditioning systems.

Ocean Thermal Energy

The OTEC resource covers an area exceeding 100 million km2 across tropical oceans. Unlike most renewable energy conversion systems, OTEC could deliver power at very high capacity factors and offer baseload capabilities.
