Naba Alsaha and Strataphy partner to launch one of Saudi Arabia's first geothermal-cooled hospitals
Khobar, Saudi Arabia — In a pioneering step for sustainable healthcare infrastructure, Naba Alsaha Hospital, a leading Saudi healthcare group, has partnered with clean cooling innovator Strataphy to deploy advanced, subsurface-powered cooling systems for its new hospital complex in Riyadh, currently under construction. 'This project highlights how geothermal technology can meet the strict reliability and operational demands of the healthcare sector,' said Ahmed Alhani, COO of Strataphy. 'Hospitals require uninterrupted cooling performance around the clock. With our CAS model and subsurface technology, we're able to deliver that performance while significantly reducing grid impact and carbon emissions.' Saudi Arabia has more than 2,300 healthcare facilities across the Kingdom. With each facility requiring on average 1.5 megawatts-thermal (MW-th) of cooling capacity, the national healthcare sector represents a total thermal demand of approximately 3.45 gigawatts-thermal (GW-th). This places immense strain on the power grid and creates a clear opportunity for cleaner, more efficient solutions. At the heart of the system is Strataphy's PrimeLoop —a patent-pending geothermal hybrid architecture that uses subsurface temperatures to deliver continuous and efficient building cooling. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, which rely on electricity-intensive compressors and degrade in performance during high ambient temperatures, PrimeLoop operates silently and consistently, delivering a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 5, more than double that of conventional methods. The solution is offered through Strataphy's Cooling as a Service (CAS) model—turning cooling from a costly CapEx decision into a monthly operating service. Strataphy handles design, drilling, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance, with clients only paying for actual cooling used. This removes technical and financial risk while improving ESG outcomes. 'As demand for high-performance medical infrastructure grows, we're proud to be among the first hospitals in the Kingdom to adopt this innovative, sustainable approach,' said Nayef Al-Jishi, Business Development Manager at Naba Alsaha Hospital. 'For us, it's about delivering long-term value to patients, operators, and the national grid. This partnership with Strataphy reinforces our commitment to future-ready, resilient, and environmentally aligned healthcare facilities.' 'This collaboration reflects a broader transformation underway across the Kingdom,' concluded Ammar Alali, CEO of Strataphy. 'The healthcare sector—with its 24/7 operational needs—is ideally suited to lead the geothermal cooling transition. We're proud to help power that shift and demonstrate how clean infrastructure can meet both performance and sustainability goals.'

'As AI reshapes regional economies, liquid cooling will no longer be a niche innovation – it will be mission-critical.' – Jay Gadhavi, KROHNE
As demand for bigger, better, faster, more artificial intelligence accelerates across the Middle East so does the need for more localised energy efficient IT infrastructure. KROHNE, a global leader in industrial measurement and instrumentation, has announced a significant scale-up in the production of its magnetic flow meters (magmeters) to support the region's growing need for advanced liquid cooling. KROHNE will dedicate a substantial share of its global manufacturing capacity to serve data centre clients worldwide, with a sharp focus on high-growth markets across the GCC. The move comes in response to the surge of hyperscale and edge data centres in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar—driven by national AI strategies and net-zero transformation agendas. To support this shift, KROHNE has launched a dedicated Center of Excellence for data center technologies at its facility in Beverly, Massachusetts. This hub will drive the development and deployment of next-generation magmeters, specifically engineered for the precision, repeatability, and durability required in liquid-cooled, AI-driven facilities. 'From Frankfurt to Fujairah, the world is in a race to unlock the power of AI,' said Frank Janssens, Vice President of the KROHNE Group. 'The future will be shaped by those who can build AI-ready infrastructure both rapidly and responsibly. At KROHNE, we are scaling up to meet that moment—ensuring cooling systems in tomorrow's data centres are smarter, more sustainable, and globally supported.' Magnetic flow meters are critical for enabling closed-loop liquid cooling—an essential requirement in high-performance computing environments where thermal loads must be managed precisely and efficiently. In high-heat regions like the Middle East, this becomes even more critical for operational stability, energy performance, and water conservation. 'The Middle East has a voracious appetite for future-ready digital infrastructure—and it must be met with technologies that are both precise and sustainable,' said Jay Gadhavi, General Manager of KROHNE Middle East. 'As AI reshapes regional economies, liquid cooling will no longer be a niche innovation—it will be mission-critical. That's where KROHNE's flow measurement solutions come in.' The announcement supports broader regional ambitions to become global leaders in AI and digital innovation: National AI Strategies in the GCC United Arab Emirates: UAE National AI Strategy 2031 – aims to position the UAE as a global AI hub with a focus on health, transport, energy, and smart cities. Saudi Arabia: Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) – launched the National Strategy for Data and AI (NSDAI) with a goal to become a global leader in AI by 2030, backed by giga-projects like NEOM and The Line. Qatar: Qatar National Artificial Intelligence Strategy – prioritizes economic diversification and AI-powered public services aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030.
