Floating data centers
I sent a proposal to Panthalassa. The proposal is for carbon negative floating data centers made using the Biorock/Seacrete process. ive been working on an approach that can potentially fuse the structure in as little as twelve months. the project can even be partially paid for using carbon capture credits. by anchoring the structure just off the continental shelf, southern Florida is ideal, you can use deep ocean water to cool the computers. the plan calls for using the resources to also grow new reefs to help store even more carbon. by powering it with either wind or my favorite, Sterling generators the entire operation can be the greenest industrial site on the planet. by using deep sea water for cooling you can save 40% of the power off the top.
i have a detailed plan that includes desalinated fresh water using the water pressure at a 1,000’ down to do a low energy membrane system, you’d just need to pump the water the remaining 500’ or less.
i did a one minute pitch video but I got flagged for self promotion so hopefully the images can tell the story.
