The Chemours Company and 2CRSi, a pioneer in eco-responsible server technology, have announced a Joint Development Agreement to accelerate the deployment of advanced two-phase cooling technologies, including direct-to-chip and immersion systems, for high-density IT infrastructure. The partnership will leverage Chemours' Opteon™ two-phase liquid cooling solutions and 2CRSi's server design expertise to meet the growing demands of AI and advanced computing workloads while dramatically reducing energy and water consumption.

Why it matters

Two-phase liquid cooling is seen as a key technology for unlocking the next generation of high-performance computing, enabling more compact, energy-efficient data centers to power emerging low-latency applications like autonomous vehicles, 5G/6G networks, and intelligent embedded systems. This partnership aligns with 2CRSi's commitment to decarbonizing digital infrastructure and Chemours' goal of delivering innovative thermal management solutions that support the industry's transition to more sustainable operations.

The details

The partnership follows the successful qualification of Chemours' Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid in current-generation 2CRSi servers. Building on this, the companies will focus on pushing technological boundaries to deliver efficient, high-density servers for AI and HPC, targeting advanced formats like 15 kW, 1U servers powered by Nvidia GPUs. Chemours' Opteon™ solutions can deliver up to a 90% reduction in data center cooling energy compared to traditional air cooling, a power usage effectiveness (PUE) approaching 1, dramatic reductions in water consumption, and a circular solution through fluid recovery and reuse.

  • The partnership was announced on February 24, 2026.
