ExxonMobil and Submer collaboration drives innovation forward
Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other high-performance workloads are driving unprecedented demand for data center capacity worldwide.
As operators race to expand infrastructure, they are simultaneously challenged by power constraints, cooling requirements, reliability expectations, and aggressive deployment timelines. As AI workloads increase compute density and power demand, operators are rethinking traditional data center designs. One area of growing interest is the integration of behind-the-meter energy solutions with advanced liquid cooling technologies.
Alongside Submer Group, we’re working to develop scalable infrastructure that can meet growing demand while improving operational efficiency and reliability. With ExxonMobil’s experience in energy, chemistry, engineering, and performance fluids and Submer Group’s expertise across the full data center lifecycle – from site development and design through construction and live operations – we’re aiming to unlock a new model for how data centers are designed and cooled reliably, at scale.
“Designing facilities with efficiency as a foundational principle is essential. This approach can reduce infrastructure complexity, lower water consumption, and improve energy utilization by directing more available power toward computing resources rather than operational overhead.” Glen Sharkowicz, Market Development Manager for ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company.
Submer Group brings expertise across cooling, infrastructure, cloud, and edge environments, supported by ongoing research and development in liquid cooling and sustainable data center design.
Through its development and operating platform, Rubix, the group manages the full data center lifecycle, including site selection, power procurement, design, construction, and operations. Submer Group is also supported by a global development pipeline exceeding 8 gigawatts of planned capacity.
As AI adoption accelerates, the need for scalable, power-efficient, and resilient digital infrastructure will continue to grow. Meeting this demand will require closer integration of power, cooling, and operational strategies from the earliest stages of project development. Collaborations that combine expertise across these disciplines can help enable the next generation of data centers, supporting higher performance while improving efficiency and sustainability at scale.
“Submer Group’s mission is to enable AI infrastructure at scale, supporting gigawatt-scale deployments across global regions. By working together with ExxonMobil, we are bringing complementary capabilities that can help create a more integrated, scalable, and efficient foundation for the future of data center development and operations. ” Patrick Smets, CEO of Submer Group.
