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