Scalable and Sustainable AI Infrastructure (On The Seabed)
summary
Europe's data centres use over 150 TWh a year and spend ~40% on cooling (equal to CO2 from 17 million households), so the plan places prefabricated 20 ft units on the seabed with immersive liquid cooling and up to 16 racks (Nvidia Blackwell-grade GPUs) to dump heat into seawater, tie directly to offshore wind to avoid transmission loss, run maintenance every 3 years, claim ~30% longer hardware life, and roll out clusters along North Sea and Baltic coasts starting next year.
