said Sebastien Fiedorow, chief executive of the French start-up Aerleum, which manufactures synthetic fuel from carbon dioxide (C02).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we are in a very different CES than five years ago,&#8221; he told AFP, adding that even if energy companies remain &#8220;on the fringes&#8221; of CES, &#8220;we&#8217;re here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a good first opportunity,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Data centers accounted for 4.4 percent of US electricity needs in 2023, a figure that is likely to rise to 12 percent by 2028, according to the US Department of Energy.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Shapiro, chief executive of the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes CES, said energy transition was intended to be &#8220;a big focus&#8221; of this year&#8217;s show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve talked about for awhile,&#8221; he added, stressing that the tech sector needs &#8220;innovative solutions&#8221; to ensure it has the power it requires moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Not_the_most_sexy\"><\/span>&#8216;Not the most sexy&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among the companies pitching such innovation at CES, which wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp;

he told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>But LV Energy didn&#8217;t mention artificial intelligence in its presentation, which he said likely suppressed interest, with AI being &#8220;the magic word,&#8221; at CES.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe we&#8217;re not the most sexy&#8230; because we don&#8217;t say those words,&#8221; he told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Other energy firms also acknowledged a struggle to break through.<\/p>\n<p>DataGreen, another French company, aims to build smaller, greener data centers that run on renewable power, saving tech companies money by reducing data storage costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2025\/the-ces-sign-is-seen-o.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2025\/the-ces-sign-is-seen-o.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"The CES sign is seen on the venue during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2025.\">\n<figure class=\"article-img text-center\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800a\/2025\/the-ces-sign-is-seen-o.jpg\" alt=\"The CES sign is seen on the venue during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2025\" title=\"The CES sign is seen on the venue during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2025.\"\/><figcaption class=\"text-left text-darken text-truncate text-low-up mt-3\">\n                The CES sign is seen on the venue during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2025.<br \/>\n            <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cloud computing giants have so far shown no interest, said DataGreen&#8217;s head of AI, Julien Choukroun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For now, they don&#8217;t see the point (in partnering with DataGreen) but we&#8217;re trying to convince them,&#8221; Choukroun said.<\/p>\n<p>The company won an innovation award at CES this year, its first appearance at the show, and Choukroun argued its services are essential.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t continue to increase the hangar space (of data centers),&#8221; he said, stressing the land available to house sprawling storage sites &#8220;is not infinite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He voiced confidence that once Big Tech realizes DataGreen offers cost savings, that will &#8220;be more persuasive than the &#8216;green'&#8221;

he said.<\/p>\n<p>While interest remains muted for smaller players, Jawalapersad of LV Energy said his company has &#8220;numerous leads&#8221; in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Fiedorow of Aerleum said there was no doubt the tech sector&#8217;s focus on energy is growing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We produce fuel and work on a technology that is pretty far removed from the focus of the Consumer Electronics Show,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Aerleum&#8217;s presence in Las Vegas &#8220;shows that the mindset is changing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2025 AFP\n                                            <\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                Tech sector&#8217;s energy transition draws attention at Vegas show (2025, January 12)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 12 January 2025<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2025-01-tech-sector-energy-transition-attention.html\n                                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                            This document is subject to copyright.
