Creekstone Energy, the company behind a huge data center campus being built near Delta in Millard County, has announced that it’s in the process of patenting a “revolutionary technology” that can turn natural gas into water. The new technology — which the developer said can capture water vapor from the exhaust of Creekstone’s own natural-gas-powered electricity generation and convert it into water — has been named GIGAWATER, which the company said is the “centerpiece” of its Project Oasis initiative at the Delta Gigasite campus. … Conley believes the new water could potentially be used for a variety of purposes: irrigation, agriculture, geothermal energy cycles, and potentially — if it’s filtered — potable water.
