TEXEL Turns Flare Gas into Green AI

The world faces a dual challenge: phasing out fossil fuels quickly while simultaneously meeting the explosive demand for electricity — not least from AI and data centers. To succeed, we need sustainable energy solutions that don’t make us dependent on rare materials, but are reliable, cost-effective, and circular. Energy that can be delivered anytime, anywhere.

This is where TEXEL comes in with an innovation that uses something that already exists: flare gas — and converts it into green AI. In this way, a by-product that would otherwise be wasted becomes a valuable energy resource for the data centers of the future.

Customer need

To realize the idea quickly, TEXEL partnered with collaborators who could turn the concept into a workable, buildable solution. The goal was to develop a container-based co-location service that could be installed swiftly at facilities where flare gas is produced—and thereby both reduce emissions and directly meet data centers’ rapidly growing demand for green AI power.

“With Together Tech as a partner we got the expertise and commitment to quickly take our innovation from concept to reality.”

Christian Nilsson, CTO TEXEL

What we have developed and delivered

Together Tech acts as TEXEL’s design and engineering department and in the first phase produced a complete mechanical solution, ready to be built and deployed in a demo container. The result has exceeded expectations: the system operates well in practice and demonstrates that the solution delivers as promised. The mission included:

Design and engineering of the container, including mechanical platforms, stainless steel casings/walls, distribution systems for gas and liquids.
A solution that is scalable, buildable and commercially viable – the demo version is finished and installation time is short.
From first idea to operational status took approximately 14 months, which, according to both the customer and ourselves, is exceptionally fast and demonstrates strong innovation.

“For us this is a clear example of how we can combine Mechanical Engineering and Energy Tech to create solutions that make a real difference.”

Håkan Rolin, Business Manager at Together Tech

Ongoing development forward

The next step is scaling up the solution. We are now working to develop a commercial container that can deliver green AI power to both the U.S. and European markets.

“Utilizing flare gas and converting it into green AI is not just smart — it's a unique opportunity to meet the immense growing demand from data centers and AI.”
