Geothermal Cooling for Data Centers

Photo representing data center facilities

Overview

Data centers demand continuous, reliable cooling, year-round—without compromise. The Genesys CLAD® system is designed to support facilities with high, constant thermal loads, delivering stable, long-term performance by removing heat away from the site to prevent thermal buildup in the ground. It ensures reliable, consistent cooling while eliminating the water consumption required by conventional systems.

Benefits of CLAD® Geothermal Systems for Data Center Cooling

Data centers require highly efficient, reliable cooling systems to manage continuous heat loads while minimizing energy and water use. CLAD® geothermal systems provide a scalable, closed-loop solution that improves cooling efficiency, reduces total energy demand, and supports low-carbon data center operations.

01

Zero Water Consumption

CLAD® geothermal systems return water to the same aquifer, eliminating the water consumption required by conventional cooling systems.

02

Delivers continuous cooling for always-on data center operations

CLAD® geothermal systems transfer heat away from the site, delivering consistent, reliable performance over time.

03

Scales with increasing data center density and cooling loads

CLAD® geothermal systems adapt to growing compute demand, supporting higher rack densities and evolving cooling requirements.

04

Reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions

By improving heat transfer efficiency, CLAD® systems lower overall energy use and support more sustainable data center operations.

05

Improves infrastructure resilience and lifecycle planning

CLAD® geothermal systems provide predictable, long-term performance with fewer mechanical dependencies.

Geothermal FAQs

What is a CLAD® system?

The CLAD^® system is a groundbreaking, patented heat transfer solution in the geothermal industry, consisting of supply and diffusion wells to harness the stable temperatures underground and advective properties of water to exchange heat.

How does CLAD® differ from conventional geothermal heating and cooling?

Traditional geothermal closed-loop systems often face challenges such as significant land requirements and the need for deeper drilling, which can complicate installation.

CLAD^® effectively addresses these issues by significantly lowering installation costs and reducing the land needed for drilling. Our technology achieves this by leveraging more heat exchange capacity from fewer wells. This not only simplifies the installation process but also boosts performance.

What makes this solution a more sustainable option for heating & cooling?

At Genesys, reducing our environmental impact is foundational to our mission as a clean technology company. Our geothermal heating and cooling solutions deliver enhanced energy efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and responsible resource management.

Decarbonization: Through the use of renewable thermal energy, our technology replaces the reliance on fossil fuels used in traditional HVAC systems.

‍Groundwater Preservation: Our patented design keeps groundwater below the surface and free from any potential contamination. Our solutions operate with zero water depletion, returning every drop back to the same aquifer.
