Nuclear funding and data center cooling: the week in sustainability
Data center cooling, nuclear finance, industrial catalysts and circular-economy practice featured in a mixed week of sustainability releases.
The week's releases did not share a single theme. The largest figures came from Elementl Power, which says it signed a preliminary agreement with DS Investment Partners and Samsung C&T on a proposed partnership of up to $750 million to help fund multiple U.S. nuclear projects, and from MarketsandMarkets, which projects the data center coolant distribution units market will reach USD 10.02 billion by 2033.
Other items centred on industrial efficiency and product life cycles. EffectiV received recognition for HVAC air distribution products, and Sinopec hosted a catalyst customer conference in Tianjin. On the circular economy, the Canton Fair described practices on show at its 140th session, and Claigan Environmental announced a webinar walking through a real product's Life Cycle Assessment.
