Cannes, Two Sessions, One Direction.

The energy transition for AI data centers is not a binary choice between power now and power clean. At Datacloud Cannes 2026, I launched a structured transition model for Rehlko and made the case for RNG as a fuel, not a carbon credit, and as a critical component of credible, near-term decarbonization for digital infrastructure.

Engineering for Up-time. Now Engineering for Trajectory.

AI is driving electricity demand past what grids can reinforce in time, and on-site dispatchable generation has become the primary enabler of development. But the debate is stuck at fuel choice. Prime power assets run for 20 to 30 years, yet they are being deployed ahead of any clear lifecycle decarbonization strategy. We are engineering for uptime. We now need to engineer for trajectory. The Structured Transition Model sets out how.
