Meta is planning water-saving cooling for a proposed data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta. The company plans to use a closed-loop cooling system designed to keep servers from overheating while reusing cooling water within the system. Both outlets describe this approach as different from evaporative cooling, which relies on large volumes of cool water and releases much of it rather than reusing it. The reporting also places the proposal in the broader context of hyperscale data-centre projects in Canada, many of which adopt closed-loop designs to address water demand and environmental considerations. By using closed-loop cooling, Meta aims to limit the amount of water required compared with systems that depend on evaporating water for heat removal. The articles focus on the cooling method and how it affects water consumption, rather than on other aspects of the project such as construction timelines, capacity, or regulatory approvals.
