This is the first Bankable! podcast to showcase AI Infrastructure.

Also referred to as an AI Stack, it is a collective noun for the hardware and software needed to create and run Artificial Intelligence applications. An example of hardware is the graphics or tensor processing chip, the GPU or TPU, with a cloud provider such as a hyperscaler being an example of software. A data center houses this infrastructure, with the electricity needed to power the process as a key AI Infrastructure component.

Why the interest? As set out in the International Energy Agency’s April report on Energy and AI, electricity consumption by data centers is projected to at least double between 2025 and 2030. The IEA highlights that “AI has the potential to transform the energy sector … [yet] there is no AI without energy.”

Today, we meet the International Finance Corporation’s data center global sector lead for investments in emerging markets. As Obinna Isiadinso https://www.linkedin.com/in/obinnaisiadinso/ shares in his written posts, the world needs $6.7 trillion to fund the next generation of data centers.

Fresco CleanTech Solutions https://frescocleantech.solutions observes that not one nation’s infrastructure plan currently includes a doubling of energy sources within the next five years. Hence, this is not just an investment opportunity but a paradigm shift in the global electricity consumption and generation requirements.

This is the first Bankable! podcast to showcase a use for new nuclear. Today, we meet a technology integrator aiming to produce sustainable fuels for hard-to-decarbonize industries, including aviation and maritime.

Why the interest? Well, in addition to the International Civil Aviation Organization’s global aspirational to reduce CO2 emissions in international aviation by 5 per cent by 2030, the United Kingdom has, as of 2025, mandated that 2% of total UK jet fuel is decarbonized, increasing linearly to 10% in 2030 and 22% in 2040.

In a similar vein, the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation starts with 2% decarbonization in 2025, increasing to 70% in 2050.

And, as of April 11, 2025, the International Maritime Organization approved a draft framework aimed at achieving net-zero emissions in the shipping industry by 2050.

Hence, it seems vital to showcase CNF and its founders as a sustainable fuels pioneer.

This is the inaugural episode in the Bankable! podcast.

We meet a technology company decarbonizing the global chemicals industry by processing used plastic into circular chemicals.

Why the interest? According to the International Energy Agency, the chemical sector is the largest industrial energy consumer and the third largest industry subsector of direct CO2 emissions. It is estimated the global chemical industry contributes no less than 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions and remains on an increasing trajectory.

Hence, it seems vital to showcase Encina https://www.encina.com/ and its founder as a decarbonization pioneer.
