In this episode of Clean Integration, Soluna CEO John Belizaire sits down with Jamie McAvity, Founder and CEO of Cormint Data Systems, to talk about what really powers modern compute: infrastructure.

From early missteps to a refined, infrastructure-first model, Jamie shares how Cormint is rethinking the design, build, and deployment of data centers. Together, John and Jamie break down why energy, not hardware, is quickly becoming the defining constraint in scaling AI and Bitcoin infrastructure.

The conversation also dives into Soluna and Cormint’s collaboration on Project Kati 1, and what it reveals about the future of modular, renewable-powered data centers.

In this episode, they cover:

• Why an “infrastructure-first” approach is critical to avoiding risk and building durable, scalable systems
• How zero-based design helps eliminate unnecessary complexity and accelerate deployment
• The strategic advantage of colocating with renewable energy, especially within ERCOT
• What Project Kati 1 reveals about the future of modular data center builds

In the second episode of the new Clean Integration limited series, Cybele Ramirez, Head of Marketing at Soluna, sits down with CEO John Belizaire to zoom in on AI through the operator's perspective.

In this episode, we challenge the common misconception that AI is a lightweight digital tool. From an operator’s perspective, AI behaves more like heavy industry than a typical cloud application.

Join us as we break down why the physical constraints of power, cooling, and space are returning to the forefront of computing and how Soluna is building the "Renewable Computing" infrastructure required to support it.

In this conversation, John reflects on:

• Software vs. Heavy Industry: Why AI is a physical manufacturing process for intelligence, not just "advanced code."
• Why dropping AI into legacy data centers creates "high-tech ovens" instead of efficient clusters.
• Comparing the energy use between Web Hosting, Bitcoin, and AI.
• Renewable Computing: The shift toward building infrastructure where power is abundant and scalable, rather than where demand sits.
• How Siemens and Metrobloks are helping Soluna modularize and stabilize the next generation of AI data centers.

In this episode of Clean Integration, Soluna CEO John Belizaire speaks with Metrobloks CEO Ernest Popescu about the joint venture to develop Project Kati 2, a 100+ MW AI and high-performance computing campus in Southeast Texas.

They discuss how AI is reshaping data center development, why power access has become the industry’s biggest bottleneck, and what it takes to build AI-ready infrastructure designed for rapidly evolving workloads.

Together, they discuss:

• The partnership between Soluna and Metrobloks to develop Project Kati 2
• Why power availability is now the primary constraint for AI infrastructure
• How AI workloads are changing where and how data centers are built
• What “AI-ready infrastructure” means for next-generation deployments
• Why speed to power and flexible design are becoming critical advantages
