SP08 - Powering AI: Meeting the Energy Demands of the AI Data Center Boom

04 Feb 2026
Auditorium 2
Spotlight Sessions

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fueling an unprecedented boom in global data center construction – driving massive, concentrated energy needs that are testing the limits of existing power infrastructure. Meeting these high-load demands has become a critical challenge as AI accelerates across industries. LNG is emerging as a reliable, scalable, and readily deployable solution to power these digital hubs, providing flexibility and speed where traditional grid expansion cannot keep pace. This session will explore:
• The role of small-scale LNG, FSRUs, and modular generation in enabling rapid and resilient data center deployment
• How investment, policy, and infrastructure considerations are shaping LNG’s place in the digital economy
• Ways LNG can bridge the gap between soaring demand, energy security, and rapid deployment needs
