Matt Keay, co-founder of Source Geothermal, on why Saudi Arabia is positioned to become a global hub for zero-emission AI data center infrastructure.

On Episode 250 of Energy Transition Solutions, Joe Batir interviews Malcolm Ross, a key advisor to Source Geothermal, and Gigawatt CEO Gordon Baier on building next-gen geothermal into integrated industrial parks.

Four geothermal innovators won $20.8 million from Emissions Reduction Alberta to drill deeper and cheaper, turning oilfield expertise into a global export.

U.S. data centres already draw 62 GW of power and 70 million gallons of water a day. The AI race now hinges on power, cooling and delivery.

Saudi Arabia’s AI ambitions must be measured by operating infrastructure, not announcement volume, according to Taranis Capital’s analysis. The firm highlights HUMAIN’s target of 1.9 gigawatts of data-centre capacity by 2030

When people talk about artificial intelligence, the conversation usually focuses on chips, algorithms, and compute capacity. But there is another challenge emerging behind the scenes that may prove just as important:
