Danfoss and Google enter into a strategic partnership to promote energy efficient-solutions

Danfoss, a global leader in energy-efficient solutions, is collaborating with Google to build sustainable cooling systems for data centers and design systems that recover excess heat generated by data centers.

Danfoss and Google forged partnership to make use of the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and promote energy efficient solutions in data centers.

Danfoss will employ Google Cloud’s generative AI capabilities to improve the customer experience, streamline internal work processes, and increase overall organisational efficiency. This can be accomplished, for example, by leveraging gen AI to collect and surface information, automate knowledge, generate product descriptions, and develop e-commerce solutions using chatbots.

Danfoss, a global leader in energy-efficient solutions, is collaborating with Google to build sustainable cooling systems for data centers and design systems that recover excess heat generated by data centers. Danfoss Turbocor compressors provide extremely dependable and efficient solutions when properly implemented by OEM partners, and Google is installing them to boost energy efficiency and decarbonise heating and cooling systems in data centers.

Heat reuse modules would enable Google to capture and reuse heat generated by data centers, offering a renewable energy source for on-site heating as well as for adjacent business and residential buildings, communities, and industries that use heat for their operations. Danfoss’ experience in decarbonisation technologies will be leveraged even more to enhance data center sustainability in Europe, North America, and beyond.

The new agreement, issued during the AHR Expo in Chicago, USA, builds on an existing collaboration between the two companies, which were among the founders of the Net Zero Innovation Hub in Fredericia, Denmark, announced in September 2023, where a number of major players joined forces to accelerate the green transformation of data centers. Danfoss and Google are now taking a step further by entering into a broader partnership.

Jürgen Fischer, President, Danfoss Climate Solutions, said, “At Danfoss, we want to revolutionize how we build and decarbonise data centers together with our customers. When we partner up across industries, like we have done with Google, we accelerate this development towards building better and more sustainable data centers – using technologies available today.”

Google Vice President J.P. Clausen said, “This is a great example of a partnership utilizing each other’s strengths and using technology to optimize the customer experience, increase productivity, and reach sustainability goals. Danfoss is a leader in energy efficiency, and these solutions help support Google’s 2030 goal of running our data centers on carbon-free energy 24/7. We’re happy to deliver AI innovation through Google Cloud, enabling businesses like Danfoss to operate in new and smarter ways.”
