Data centers are facing an existential challenge: how to scale capacity while meeting net-zero targets. This report analyzes the 2025?2030 period, where the rise of AI has pushed air-cooling to its limits. We explore the transition to liquid cooling?including immersion cooling?which offers higher heat dissipation for dense GPU clusters. The narrative details the shift toward green data centers, where operators invest in on-site renewable energy and small modular nuclear reactors to ensure carbon-free power. We also investigate the rise of Edge data centers, which bring compute power closer to the user to support autonomous systems. The report highlights the move toward modular data center construction. By 2030, the data center will be viewed as a vital utility, with sustainability being a primary competitive differentiator.
