Arbor’s ‘vegetarian rocket engine’ power plant is actually an omnivore

Arbor Energy’s shift to a dual-fuel power plant reflects pragmatic adaptation to data centers’ growing energy needs. By enabling natural gas alongside biomass, Arbor balances sustainability goals with reliability and scalability. This hybrid approach may influence energy strategies for AI infrastructure providers, who require consistent, large-scale power. While not purely green, it addresses current limitations in biomass supply and energy density. Industry watchers should monitor how this impacts operational costs, emissions profiles, and whether competitors adopt similar flexible energy solutions. This development highlights ongoing challenges in powering AI workloads sustainably at scale.
