Stranded energy refers to power that is generated but cannot be efficiently transported to users, such as natural gas flared at remote oil and gas sites.
The move into orbit extends that strategy, though the leap from repurposing flared gas in North Dakota to deploying satellites is substantial.
“ At Crusoe, we believe that space will ultimately matter to the future of computing because it enables new solutions to a key scaling constraint for AI infrastructure, which is sourcing abundant, consistent and clean energy,” says Cully Cavness, Co-founder, President and Chief Operating Officer( COO) of Crusoe.
Cully Cavness, Crusoe’ s Co-founder, President and COO, pioneers energy-efficient AI infrastructure by repurposing flared gas for data centers and expanding to space-based computing.
“ Since our founding, Crusoe has specialised on co-locating compute infrastructure with novel energy sources. By partnering with Starcloud, we will extend our energy-first approach from Earth to the next frontier: outer space.”
Starcloud’ s orbital data centre concept is a satellite-based computing platform that integrates solar power generation with processors and onboard cooling systems. aimagazine. com 81
