ReGen III, a company specializing in upcycling used motor oil into high-purity Group III base oils, is exploring strategic options to enter the growing market of immersion cooling in data centers and AI infrastructure. This move comes as the demand for immersion cooling is projected to triple by 2030, with the market expected to reach $7.2 billion.
Immersion cooling, a method where servers are submerged in a non-conductive fluid for heat management, offers improved thermal efficiency and reduced energy consumption compared to traditional air cooling. ReGen III believes that its circular Group III base oils could play a vital role in meeting the sustainability and efficiency needs of hyperscalers and chipmakers.
The company’s patented process, which converts used motor oil into premium base oils with significantly lower CO2 emissions than traditional methods, aligns with the sustainability goals of data center operators and hyperscalers. With the formation of a Special Committee to explore commercial opportunities in immersion cooling and other applications, ReGen III is poised to make a significant impact in the evolving landscape of data center cooling solutions.
