This battery recycling company is now cleaning up AI data centers

The event represents the launch of the new business line of the company, Redwood Energy, which will initially re -display batteries (instead of recycling) with years of the remaining life to create a renewal of renewal. These small energy systems can work on the largest or outside the electricity network, providing electricity to companies or societies.

Redwood Materials says that many batteries you take for treatment maintain more than half of their ability.

“We can extract a much greater value than that material using it as a energy storage project before recycling,” said JB Straubel, founder of Redwood, CEO of this event.

This first MicroGrid, located in the company’s facility at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, is run by solar panels and is able to generate 64 MW of electricity, making it one of the largest of these systems in the country. This energy flows to Crusoe, a cryptocurrency mine worker that flying in developing artificial intelligence data centers, which was built an facility containing 2000 graphics processing units adjacent to many restarted EV batteries.

The Redwood project emphasizes the increasing interest in operating data centers partially or completely outside the electrical network. This MicroGRIDS will not only be faster than traditional power plants, but consumer price motivations will not be on a hook for the cost of power plants connected to the new network that was developed to serve artificial intelligence centers.

Due to the use of Redwood batteries, it has already been removed from vehicles, the company says MicroGRIDS should also be much cheaper than those collected than new batteries.

MicroGRIDS can generate electricity electricity for any type of operation. But the company confirms that it is an ideal suitable for processing the increasing energy needs and climate emissions of data centers. Energy consumption of such facilities can double by 2030, mainly due to the amazing appetite of Amnesty International, according to a report issued by the International Energy Agency.

“The storage is this technology in a perfect position, especially low -cost storage, to attack each of these problems,” says Straubel.
