Data centers play a critical role in the digital economy but consume vast amounts of energy and generate substantial heat. The newly developed liquid coolant by BPCL and Refroid Technologies offers a cutting-edge solution by improving cooling efficiency, lowering Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and reducing carbon emissions. This advancement aligns with India's commitment to sustainable and energy-efficient technologies, with potential global implications.

By co-developing this liquid coolant, BPCL becomes the first Indian energy company to pioneer such an initiative, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. Leveraging its expertise in advanced materials and energy solutions, BPCL aims to set a new industry benchmark by integrating this coolant into its own data centers, demonstrating its effectiveness and sustainability benefits.

“BPCL is honored to lead this pioneering initiative,” said Shubhankar Sen, Executive Director of BPCL. “This indigenous coolant marks a milestone in India’s energy independence and sustainability journey. We are proud to contribute to a solution that supports AI, sovereign data initiatives, and global environmental objectives.”

Refroid Technologies, a frontrunner in advanced liquid cooling solutions, collaborated with BPCL’s research and development team to create a high-performance, energy-efficient liquid coolant optimized for India's diverse environmental conditions.

“We are immensely proud to introduce this innovative liquid coolant in partnership with BPCL,” said Satya Bhavaraju, CEO of Refroid Technologies. “This breakthrough highlights India’s capability to lead in high-tech innovations while tackling global energy efficiency and carbon neutrality challenges.”

The indigenous liquid coolant reduces PUE, making data centers more cost-effective and sustainable. It enables data centers to house more computing power per rack than conventional air-cooled systems. Designed to perform efficiently in diverse climate scenarios, it supports India’s clean energy and sustainability goals. The coolant also facilitates high-performance AI applications and sovereign data infrastructure. Entirely developed and manufactured domestically, it reinforces India's self-reliance in technology.

This collaboration between BPCL and Refroid Technologies demonstrates the power of partnership in fostering innovative, sustainable solutions for India's technology sector. With this advancement, both companies are setting new benchmarks in green technology and data center efficiency.
