Infinitum today announced its Aircore motor system is a winner of the Product of the Year Award in the 2026 Environment+Energy Leader Awards program. The recognition highlights Infinitum’s ability to deliver measurable operational and financial impact for customers — helping them do more with less — as they navigate increasingly complex energy demands.
As electrification accelerates, energy costs rise and aging grid infrastructure constrains available power, organizations are under growing pressure to optimize energy use. Infinitum’s Aircore motor system is specifically designed to help power-intensive facilities — such as hospitals, data centers, semiconductor fabricators and utilities — do more with less by minimizing real-world energy consumption, maximizing available power and improving operational efficiency.
Infinitum’s Aircore motor system powers cooling and industrial applications using upwards of 25% less energy, while also drawing fewer amps from the grid and requiring less electrical infrastructure. With the ability to reallocate power while saving energy and reducing grid strain, Infinitum can unlock tens of gigawatts of additional capacity.
The Environment+Energy Leader esteemed judging panel was impressed with Infinitum’s ability to reallocate power and remarked, “The customer outcomes section is one of the strongest I have reviewed. A named data center customer reallocated 4 MW from cooling to AI workloads, generating an estimated $9 million in additional annual revenue. Another major retrofit cut energy use by 19%, saved $150,000 annually, eliminated downtime, and achieved a two-year ROI. These are specific, verifiable results with clear financial and operational impact.”
“Infinitum’s focus on powering more with less has resulted in a class of products that are changing the motor paradigm,” said Ben Schuler, founder and CEO, Infinitum. “The entire team at Infinitum is honored to once again be recognized with this prestigious award.”
“As organizations navigate an increasingly dynamic and uncertain operating environment, the ability to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and deliver measurable results has never been more critical,” said Sarah Roberts, Co-President and Publisher of Environment+Energy Leader. “This year’s winners demonstrate the innovation and leadership required to move forward with clarity and impact.”
