Conventional data centre energy systems typically address power, cooling, and emissions as separate engineering challenges. CEWT’s Circular Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT)-Trigen platform integrates these functions into a single resilient energy architecture designed specifically for mission-critical facilities.
The CRT-Trigen platform is designed to deliver the following simultaneously:
1. Continuous 24/7 Baseload Power
- Reliable dispatchable electricity independent of intermittent renewable generation.
- Simultaneous supply of both AC power for conventional equipment and DC power for next-generation AI and digital infrastructure through an integrated electrical architecture.
- Behind-the-meter operation to improve resilience and reduce dependence on constrained transmission networks.
2. High-Efficiency Trigeneration
- Recovery of waste heat from power generation.
- Production of chilled water using absorption refrigeration instead of electrically driven chillers.
- Combined utilisation of electricity, cooling, and thermal energy with an overall system efficiency approaching 95%, depending on operating conditions and heat utilisation.
3. Grid-Independent Operation
- Designed to operate independently of the electricity grid when required.
- Eliminates lengthy grid interconnection delays.
- Provides enhanced energy security, power quality, and operational resilience for AI data centres and other critical infrastructure.
4. Circular Carbon Pathway
- Captures carbon dioxide from power generation and recycles it using renewable hydrogen to produce Renewable Synthetic Natural Gas (RSNG).
- Progressively replaces fossil-derived fuel with recycled renewable fuel through CEWT’s Circular Carbon Recycling Technology.
- Provides a practical pathway towards near-zero operational CO₂ emissions and long-term defossilised operation.
Rather than treating electricity, cooling, fuel, and carbon management as separate systems, CEWT’s CRT-Trigen integrates them into one modular energy platform engineered for the next generation of AI data centres and critical infrastructure.
