What do we do?
Soluna harnesses the power of computing to accelerate the renewable energy future
Our data centers can buy every excess megawatt to use for batch-oriented, computing-intensive processes such as cryptocurrency mining or machine learning, and this solution is as low-risk and low-friction to use as a smartphone.
We are driven by three fundamental beliefs:
The world needs more renewable energy.... and computing can be a powerful catalyst for meeting that need.Stranded renewable energy -- usable clean energy that often goes to waste -- is one of the biggest unsolved problems for the economics of renewable energy.Sustainable Computing is not only ready for scale, but it will play an integral role in solving this problem.
We estimate that around 225 Terawatt hours of renewable energy are spilled globally.
That’s a lot of energy!
Most renewable power producers struggle to sell all of the energy they generate. Soluna has the solution. We build small-footprint data centers to buy & use all of their wasted energy, so they earn profits & tax credits for every megawatt they produce.
Our specialized data centers run compute-intensive applications powered by clean energy for: Cryptocurrency Mining • Artificial Intelligence • Deep Learning • Machine Learning • Scientific Computing • Natural Language Processing • Video Transcoding and more.
We’re solving the wasted renewable energy problem…
With us, they can SELL. EVERY. MEGAWATT.
And…
We help the data scientists of the world solve the world’s most pressing problems with the comfort of knowing that they are not destroying the planet in the process.
