Every megawatt of AI compute
generates heat.
We grow food with it.
Thermalize captures waste heat and condensate water from data center cooling systems to power year-round aquaponics — fresh fish and vegetables grown with recycled energy, independent of climate or season. It's built on our patent-pending thermal integration technology for core data-center-to-aquaculture integration.
The Problem
Megawatts of thermal energy, dumped into the sky
AI is driving an unprecedented surge in data center construction. These facilities generate enormous waste heat — and right now, cooling towers just vent it into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, our food system grows more fragile every year: supply chains stretch thin, climate volatility disrupts harvests, and local production can't keep pace with demand.
And as hyperscalers push to secure capacity, the industry is rapidly expanding behind-the-meter power — including new, onsite natural gas generation for large campuses. That shift doesn’t just change the grid story; it creates even larger, more continuous thermal streams. Thermalize is built to turn those streams into productive infrastructure.

Waste heat is the default Every kilowatt of IT load becomes a kilowatt of heat — most of it wasted

Food supply under pressure Climate volatility, long-haul logistics, and seasonal dependency threaten resilience

The Solution
Dual resource recovery: heat and water
Thermalize is an infrastructure platform that captures both the thermal energy and the condensate water from data center cooling — and channels them into climate-independent aquaponics facilities that produce fresh protein and produce year-round.
Waste heat capture
We recover thermal energy from air-cooled, liquid-cooled, and CO₂ transcritical systems — covering over 95% of the installed data center base. Heat pumps bridge the temperature gap; thermal storage buffers the load.
Condensate recovery
HVAC systems produce hundreds of gallons of clean condensate daily. We capture it instead of sending it to storm drains — measurable water stewardship your sustainability team can report.
The CO₂ advantage
CO₂ transcritical cooling is an emerging pathway with a natural refrigerant and high-grade reclaimable heat. In the right configurations, it can create a more direct heat reuse match — and unlock a clearer story for sustainability and heat reuse metrics.
Full aquaponics
Fish and plants in symbiosis. Dual revenue streams. Fish tanks provide 8–24 hours of thermal buffering — far more resilient than greenhouses alone. Year-round production, independent of weather.
Engineered integration
This isn't a direct pairing — it's professional thermal infrastructure. Plate heat exchangers, dual-loop temperature control, PLC automation, and BMS gateway integration. Zero disruption to data center operations.
CO₂ enrichment (optional module)
Where it fits and where it is permitted, targeted CO₂ delivery can increase plant productivity in controlled environments. It’s a lever for revenue density — layered on top of heat and water recovery.
