The rapid rise of artificial intelligence comes with a major challenge : the digital infrastructure powering it consumes vast amounts of electricity, far beyond current generation capacities. Today, a standard data center already uses as much electricity as 100,000 households. Mega data centers currently under construction will consume twenty times more. In a tribune published in Maddyness, Bertrand de Rotalier explains why next-generation deep geothermal energy could become a strategic low-carbon solution to help power this new digital era.   For decades, geothermal electricity production remained limited to very specific geological environments. Thanks to technological breakthroughs - Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), it is now possible to capture the Earth's heat regardless of soil permeability or composition.    At Vallourec, we are proud to be among the few companies worldwide capable of supplying the highly engineered pipes and premium connections required to drill deeper, operate safely, and ensure the long-term performance and reliability of these next-generation geothermal systems.
