However, beyond these use cases, it also has the potential to provide a clean energy source to power future technology, with far-reaching implications for both industry and society.

Technology driving energy demand

Technological innovation is accelerating at a rapid pace, from cloud computing to generative AI, robotic-assisted healthcare and autonomous vehicles. While each breakthrough is a potential revolution, it also comes at an increased cost in terms of electricity consumption. Data centres are multiplying across the world, consuming vast amounts of power to support AI training and applications.

Hospitals are adopting robotics, mixed reality neurosurgery, and Al-driven diagnostics, which require stable, round-the-clock energy. Even the space sector is exploring green hydrogen, with rockets already being tested on hydrogen propulsion systems. All these advancements share a common factor - they need reliable, uninterrupted, and clean power in ample supply.
