Why Turbine Shortages Could Slow AI, Data Centres, and Decarbonisation
About this episode
This episode discusses how turbine shortages could impact the growth of AI, data centres, and the decarbonisation efforts.
Get in touch - leave me a message AI may be booming, but the real bottleneck to it's growth may be turbines. And if firm power can’t scale fast enough, parts of the energy transition hit a wall. In this episode, I’m joined by Brad Hartwig, Co-founder and CEO of Arbor Energy, to unpack a part of the climate tech and energy transition story that gets far too little attention: the physical machinery needed to deliver reliable, round-the-clock power. Arbor is developing modular supercritical CO2 ...
