\r\n0:00:00,640 --> 0:00:03,440
\r\nEveryday, as our global population grows,
\r\n2
\r\n0:00:03,440 --> 0:00:08,800
\r\nthere is greater demand for faster, more
\r\nintelligent and more immediate access to data.
\r\n3
\r\n0:00:09,680 --> 0:00:15,440
\r\nIn this new world, technology continues to
\r\nplay a fundamental role in our daily lives.
\r\n4
\r\n0:00:15,440 --> 0:00:21,440
\r\nOur use of data is only going to increase -
\r\nand so will our need for datacentres. With a
\r\n5
\r\n0:00:21,440 --> 0:00:26,320
\r\nfast-evolving landscape, there will soon be
\r\na requirement to have datacentres anywhere.
\r\n6
\r\n0:00:27,120 --> 0:00:31,520
\r\nCurrent datacentres remain a significant
\r\nconsumer of energy resources,
\r\n7
\r\n0:00:31,520 --> 0:00:34,800
\r\nusing around 1% of global electricity supplies.
\r\n8
\r\n0:00:35,520 --> 0:00:40,800
\r\nWith climate change being one of the biggest
\r\nchallenges facing humanity today, we need a
\r\n9
\r\n0:00:40,800 --> 0:00:47,120
\r\nsolution to run our datacentres more sustainably
\r\nand this solution must also offer resiliency.
\r\n10
\r\n0:00:48,240 --> 0:00:53,040
\r\nHere at Shell, we are proactively innovating
\r\nto help overcome these challenges.
\r\n11
\r\n0:00:53,680 --> 0:00:58,240
\r\nWe have collaborated with Asperitas to
\r\nengineer energy solutions that have the
\r\n12
\r\n0:00:58,240 --> 0:01:02,160
\r\npotential to change the landscape
\r\nfor datacentres around the world.
\r\n13
\r\n0:01:02,800 --> 0:01:07,440
\r\nTraditional air cooling cannot cope with
\r\nthe demands of powerful next generation
\r\n14
\r\n0:01:07,440 --> 0:01:12,320
\r\nserver hardware and changing environments
\r\nwith higher temperatures and humidity.
\r\n15
\r\n0:01:12,320 --> 0:01:17,680
\r\nTherefore, together with Asperitas, we have
\r\ndeveloped an integrated cooling solution
\r\n16
\r\n0:01:17,680 --> 0:01:22,960
\r\nwhich enables a lower carbon footprint and
\r\nmitigates collective impact at datacentres.
\r\n17
\r\n0:01:23,680 --> 0:01:28,320
\r\nThe immersion cooling solution,
\r\nengineered by the experts at Asperitas
\r\n18
\r\n0:01:28,320 --> 0:01:32,240
\r\nintegrates with high-density and
\r\nhigh-performance server hardware;
\r\n19
\r\n0:01:32,240 --> 0:01:36,160
\r\nwhere it is being immersed in an
\r\ninnovative Shell Immersion Cooling Fluid.
\r\n20
\r\n0:01:36,499 --> 0:01:41,776
\r\nOur solution offers\u2026
\r\n21
\r\n0:01:41,776 --> 0:01:47,836
\r\n22
\r\n0:01:47,836 --> 0:01:54,952
\r\non max. 55 degree Celsius hot water
\r\n23
\r\n0:01:54,952 --> 0:01:59,142
\r\n24
\r\n0:01:59,142 --> 0:02:07,177
\r\n25
\r\n0:02:07,177 --> 0:02:10,804
\r\n26
\r\n0:02:10,931 --> 0:02:15,809
\r\nInside the immersion cooling solution is
\r\nthe Shell propriety immersion cooling fluid.
\r\n27
\r\n0:02:16,000 --> 0:02:20,480
\r\nShell Immersion Cooling Fluid is a
\r\nsynthetic, dielectric, single-phase
\r\n28
\r\n0:02:20,480 --> 0:02:25,680
\r\nimmersion cooling liquid made from natural
\r\ngas, using Shell\u2019s Gas-To-Liquid technology
\r\n29
\r\n0:02:26,320 --> 0:02:29,120
\r\nBuilt for protection and reliability,
\r\n30
\r\n0:02:29,120 --> 0:02:33,040
\r\nmaking it a leader of cooling fluids
\r\ncurrently available on the market.
\r\n31
\r\n0:02:33,840 --> 0:02:39,600
\r\nForming part of our wider energy eco-system,
\r\nour innovative cooling solution also allows
\r\n32
\r\n0:02:39,600 --> 0:02:45,760
\r\nbusinesses to expand further into a sustainable
\r\nworld through the re-use of waste heat as energy.
\r\n33
\r\n0:02:46,400 --> 0:02:51,200
\r\nAs the electronics within the server are
\r\nimmersed in a fluid, heat can be passed
\r\n34
\r\n0:02:51,200 --> 0:02:56,320
\r\non via a closed cycle water circuit and
\r\nused for another purpose such as heating.
\r\n35
\r\n0:02:57,040 --> 0:03:02,560
\r\nIn addition, Shell offers a portfolio of
\r\nrenewable energy services and installations
\r\n36
\r\n0:03:02,560 --> 0:03:07,040
\r\nas well as a carbon credit solution
\r\nthrough Shell\u2019s nature-based portfolio.
\r\n37
\r\n0:03:07,760 --> 0:03:12,560
\r\nThis solution has been recognised by the
\r\nWorld Economic Forum as one of the best
\r\n38
\r\n0:03:12,560 --> 0:03:18,000
