Reduced Energy AI Infrastructures
Infosys Partnered with ExxonMobil to Improve Efficiency
Colin Smith — February 21, 2026
Infosys and ExxonMobil have expanded a collaboration to develop and deploy liquid immersion cooling systems for AI and high performance computing data centres, combining ExxonMobil’s dielectric cooling fluids with Infosys’ AI and cloud platforms. The initiative pairs ExxonMobil’s thermal management expertise with Infosys Topaz for real time optimisation of cooling operations and Infosys Cobalt for scalable deployment across cloud and on premises environments. The partners position immersion cooling as a means to reduce the substantial energy demand associated with temperature regulation in data centres and to lower associated carbon emissions.
The collaboration targets a range of potential clients including hyperscalers, enterprises, and public sector organisations that operate dense GPU clusters for AI workloads. Neither company has disclosed financial terms, specific performance targets, or firm deployment timelines, and the announcement frames the work as a pilot and scaling effort to demonstrate measurable reductions in energy use and emissions. The partnership is presented as an example of cross sector cooperation that applies chemical and digital capabilities to address the environmental footprint of expanding AI infrastructure.
