In this episode of The Route to Networking, George Copley is joined by Nathaniel Harman, Co-Founder and CEO of Ocean Bit. Nathaniel shares his journey from oceanography research to building offshore energy infrastructure designed to power the next generation of high-performance computing and AI data centres.
They discuss the fundamentals of ocean thermal energy, how early experiments with machine learning and Bitcoin mining led to a new way of thinking about energy and compute, and why pairing infrastructure with energy sources could reshape the future of digital infrastructure. Nathaniel also explains the limitations of traditional energy systems, the role of offshore data centres, and how natural ocean cooling could unlock more efficient computing at scale.
Along the way, Nathaniel reflects on the commercial challenges of ocean energy, the growing pressure AI is placing on global power systems, and why island nations could benefit most from this technology. He also shares his long-term vision for the ocean as a hub for energy, connectivity, and compute.
