Spectral Capital, a Deep Quantum Technology Platform Company, announced a strategic partnership with Energy Tech LLC and Essence Global LLC to deploy advanced sodium-ion energy storage and onsite Hydrogen-on-Demand Systems (HoD). This partnership will enable Spectral's decentralized hybrid cloud and edge computing platforms to readily achieve 2.5 MWh–3.0 MWh power capacity, critical for AI-driven workloads and quantum infrastructure.

"The whole world knows that the energy needs of AI and cloud computing are on a path to be unsustainable.  Deploying decentralized data centers around the world that are hyper-energy efficient, and that can generate a portion of their own power needs, is a key to Spectral's growth strategy.  Energy efficiency, including battery back-up optimization and a reliable battery supply that allows on-site energy generation from multiple sources can give Spectral key advantages in lowering net energy costs for its planned data centers.  This can make the data centers more cost competitive. Our lean data center footprint, with 1504 servers planned per center together with the lower energy demands means we can select sites that wouldn't be suitable from a power viewpoint for large data centers.  We will be able to go where others can't, meeting cloud demand where it is." Said Spectral President Jenifer Osterwalder.

By utilizing Energy Tech's advanced sodium-ion energy storage combined with a fully commercialized version of Essence Global's Hydrogen On Demand technology to generate on-site power, Spectral can deliver on-site, clean energy generation with a decentralized data infrastructure. This suite of technologies allows Spectral to optimize energy efficiency and become a net energy provider enhancing grid resiliency.

"This initiative is not just about expanding our energy capabilities—it's about redefining how decentralized cloud infrastructure interacts with global energy markets," said Sean Michael Brehm, Chairman of Spectral Capital. "By leveraging our proprietary Energy Arbitrage platform, through the integration of the CRWDUNIT intellectual property, we can dynamically balance energy loads, exploit real-time market fluctuations, and optimize cost-efficient power distribution across our global network. This ensures that our decentralized AI and quantum cloud operations remain both resilient and economically optimized."

Strategic Role of Florida, New Zealand and Indonesia in Spectral's Vogon Cloud Initiative

As part of Spectral's Vogon Cloud initiative, it has identified 16 global regions for deployment. Among these regions are Florida, New Zealand and Indonesia which Spectral Capital and Energy Tech have selected as key locations for sodium-ion battery production and decentralized cloud infrastructure expansion.

These locations will:

• Support localized energy production and data center deployment in alignment with Spectral's sustainable AI and quantum computing strategy.
• Leverage favorable regulatory and economic environments to accelerate advanced energy storage and HoD Systems manufacturing.
• Create foundational hubs for Spectral's decentralized quantum infrastructure, ensuring secure, high-performance energy solutions for AI, hybrid cloud, and decentralized applications.
• Provide significant new high tech employment opportunities.

Energy Tech, a portfolio company of Essence Global Group, has developed and commercially deployed its cutting-edge advanced sodium-ion energy storage technology. This technology has superior performance metrics, including no risk of thermal runway, providing advantages over lithium-ion alternatives.

Through this partnership:

• Spectral Capital will integrate Energy Tech's sodium-ion battery technology to power its planned decentralized quantum data centers and AI-driven cloud solutions.
• Spectral will collaborate with Energy Tech to expand manufacturing operations beyond Energy Tech's current 6 GWh of annual production capacity with new planned locations in Florida, New Zealand and Indonesia.
• A commercialized version of Essence Global's Hydrogen-on-Demand System is being integrated into Spectral's infrastructure designs, providing in-situ, decentralized energy generation and resulting in clean, continuous and resilient power for Spectral's planned distributed computing environments.
