A Startup Wants to Power Data Centers With ‘Supercritical’ Carbon Dioxide

A startup called Carbon Engineering has developed a technology that uses 'supercritical' carbon dioxide to power data centers, potentially increasing efficiency by strapping it onto existing gas turbines. However, this technology would not eliminate the emissions associated with gas turbines. The company aims to reduce emissions by making existing infrastructure more efficient, but the goal of eliminating emissions entirely is not within the scope of this innovation.
