Speaker: Ammar Alali, PhD, CEO at Strataphy

As AI-driven data center capacity expands rapidly across the Middle East and beyond, operators face a fundamental challenge: cooling at scale without unsustainable water consumption, energy penalties, or carbon footprint.

In this webinar, Ammar Alali, CEO of Strataphy, presents PrimeLoop — a patent-pending subsurface geothermal cooling system that replaces or supplements conventional cooling infrastructure. Drawing on real deployments across Saudi Arabia, Strataphy’s Cooling as a Service (CaaS) model delivers COP values of 5.1 to 7+, zero water use (zero WUE), up to 50% electricity reduction, and 55% CO? reduction — with reduced capital expenditure through a monthly subscription structure. Strataphy’s PrimeLoop system has now been deployed across multiple sites in Saudi Arabia with 24+ wellbores drilled and is the first commercially operating geothermal cooling solution in the MENA region.

The session will cover the technology fundamentals, data center use cases, and the pathway to commercial scale in arid-climate markets.

Dr. Ammar Alali is the CEO and Co-Founder of Strataphy, a geothermal cooling technology company headquartered in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. He holds a PhD in Geophysics from MIT and a B.S. from the University of Houston, and spent over a decade at Saudi Aramco’s EXPEC Advanced Research Center in subsurface systems R&D. Ammar is a member of the Saudi Leaders Society and an ESADE Executive Leadership alumnus. His work has been featured in CNN, Bloomberg, New Scientist, and other agencies.
