• AI-Driven Innovation: Orbital Materials will leverage its proprietary AI platform to develop advanced materials for data center carbon removal, chip cooling, and water efficiency, with piloting set for late 2025.
• Faster Development: Orbital’s AI-enhanced discovery process has achieved a 10x improvement in material performance since early 2024, surpassing traditional methods in speed and effectiveness.
• Industry Collaboration: Orbital’s open-source AI model, ‘Orb,’ will be available on AWS platforms, enabling businesses to accelerate R&D for advanced materials like semiconductors and batteries.

A Strategic Alliance for Sustainability

Orbital Materials and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have announced a multi-year partnership aimed at revolutionizing data center efficiency and decarbonization. Orbital’s proprietary AI platform will be the backbone of efforts to design, test, and pilot technologies for integrated carbon removal and enhanced resource utilization.

By the end of 2025, Orbital Materials plans to pilot its carbon removal technology, utilizing a proprietary active material developed at a pace 10 times faster than traditional methods.

A Leap in Materials Innovation

Orbital’s AI-driven approach to materials discovery has broken new ground, achieving a significant leap in performance for carbon removal technologies since its lab launch in early 2024.

Orbital Materials CEO Jonathan Godwin emphasized the importance of AWS’s partnership:

“Our partnership with AWS will accelerate the deployment of our advanced technologies for data center decarbonization and efficiency. Working with the market-leading AWS team will ensure that our suite of products enables the next generation of data centers powering the AI revolution.”

Expanding Access Through AWS

Orbital’s open-source AI model, ‘Orb,’ will be made accessible via Amazon SageMaker JumpStart and AWS Marketplace, marking the first AI-for-materials model available on AWS platforms. This will provide AWS customers with tools to expedite advanced R&D in semiconductors, batteries, and electronics.

AWS General Manager of Energy & Utilities, Howard Gefen, highlighted the collaboration’s potential:

“Together, we have the opportunity to set new benchmarks for carbon removal and efficiency across the industry.”

Orbital Materials will also leverage AWS’s purpose-built training infrastructure, Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, and evaluate AWS Trainium to optimize its deep learning workflows, further enhancing its materials innovation capabilities.

This partnership signifies a major step forward in sustainable innovation for data centers, setting the stage for industry-wide transformation.
