Project Blue data center pushes ahead in Pima County promising new low-water cooling tech
Data center developer Beale Infrastructure says it is moving forward with Project Blue, this time promising a greener proposal that will use a new low-water air-cooling technology. … According to the Beale letter, the new design “will consume no water, potable or otherwise, for industrial cooling.” … It’s unclear what water sources exist at the site without Tucson Water. Arizona Department of Water Resources spokesperson Doug MacEachern told Luminaria the final user would have a few options, which could include groundwater at the site, access through a municipal water provider, or the use of long-term storage credits.
