Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) is unveiling several case studies on how Taiwanese businesses are advancing AI and sustainability.
Setting a new standard for liquid cooling of AI data centers
The push to develop and deploy AI is driving the rack density of data centers to increase — along with power consumption and heat. According to the data center industry organization AFCOM, only 46% of its members surveyed had adequate cooling, but 55% expected rack density to increase in the near future. Cooling solutions also stand to play a key role in improving energy efficiency and sustainability of data centers. Liquid cooling is rapidly being embraced as the new standard, and T-Global Technology’s patented two-phase liquid cooling vapor plates are at the forefront of liquid cooling technology. The vapor plates utilize vapor chambers to significantly enhance heat dissipation and optimize thermal management, delivering ten times higher performance than traditional heat pipes along with high stability and reliability.
Demonstrating the value of its innovation, T-Global’s customer base has increased 28% since 2020, as AI and other technologies fuel a need for its state-of-the-art cooling solutions.
Reducing water consumed by agriculture
According to the World Bank, around 70% of freshwater usage is for agriculture, and these needs will only increase as the world’s population grows. To make agriculture more resource-efficient and sustainable, AgriGaia has developed the Biomimetic Underground Irrigation System, which uses subsurface irrigation to deliver water and nutrients directly to the plant root zone. Based on the human circulatory system as a design concept, the technology reduces water usage by up to 70%, decreases labor, and enhances soil fertility and ecosystem health.
