Infinium, a developer of synthetic low-carbon efuels, is entering the data center sector.

The company last week announced the launch of Infinium Edge, a new immersion cooling fluid.

Few details are available, but its new range of immersion fluids are described as “proprietary low-carbon dielectric liquids developed to deliver exceptional thermal performance, stability, and safety for the world’s most demanding AI and data center environments.”

The fluids are produced from proprietary synthetic process chemistry at Infinium Energy’s eFuel facilities.

The company is also offering immersion-based modular “AI factories,” though details on any pods haven’t been shared.

“Cooling has become one of the defining constraints on deploying state-of-the-art AI infrastructure,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium. “Infinium Edge applies our deep expertise in chemistry and scalable manufacturing to unlock a more efficient path forward for high-density AI data centers.”

California-based Infinium Energy is a provider of gas conversion technology solutions, including ultra-low carbon synthetic eFuels and gas-to-liquids. It uses proprietary reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and liquid fuel production processes.

The company says its primary feedstocks are renewable power, water, and anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), combining captured CO2 from other industrial processes with hydrogen to make fuel.

Its first plant in Corpus Christi, Texas, commenced production in late 2023. Customers include Amazon, which uses the eDiesel produced at the plant to fuel its delivery trucks. The firm also develops sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).

Investors in Infinium include Mitsui & Co., Kajima Ventures, Brookfield, Japan Hydrogen Fund, Development Bank of Japan, Japan Organization for Metals & Energy Security (JOGMEC), Mitsubishi Corporation, University of Michigan, RockCreek Amazon, AP Ventures, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Neuman & Esser, SK, and NextEra Energy Resources.

A number of petrochemical firms, including HF Sinclair, Shell, Castrol, ExxonMobil, ENEOS, Gulf Oil, Petronas, Perstorp, and SK Enmove, have brought immersion cooling fluids to market. US food giant Cargill and chemical firm Chemours have also launched fluids.
