In this episode, Shawn Cutter, Founder and CEO of EnergiAcres, shares how his company is tackling the data center energy crisis with a truly circular solution that sustains energy, food, and water simultaneously. Drawing from his roots as a sixth-generation Ohio farmer and his experience in technology and oil and gas, Shawn explains how EnergiAcres integrates combined heat and power (CHP) systems with controlled environment agriculture (CEA) to create a closed-loop ecosystem that powers AI infrastructure while growing local food.
He describes how waste heat and CO₂ from power generation are repurposed to fuel greenhouse production, turning traditional inefficiencies into opportunities for community growth and sustainability. Through public-private partnerships and workforce training, EnergiAcres’ model not only reduces environmental impact but also revitalizes local economies. Shawn paints a compelling picture of the data center of 2030 — one that’s resilient, regenerative, and rooted in purpose.
