HD Hyundai Oilbank is targeting the cooling fluid market that controls server heat generation.

According to industry sources on the 22nd, HD Hyundai Oilbank's immersion cooling dedicated lubricant, 'Xteer E-Cooling Fluid,' has obtained Electrosafe program certification from GRC (Green Revolution Cooling), the world's largest immersion cooling system company.

Immersion cooling technology is a next-generation cooling technology that cools heat generated by electronic devices such as servers through dedicated lubricants. Compared to traditional air cooling methods, it can reduce cooling costs by 95% and improve safety and space efficiency.

Global market research firm Market&Market Research forecasts that the total immersion cooling market, valued at 500 billion KRW this year, will grow to approximately 42 trillion KRW by 2040.

Founded in 2009, GRC is the world's largest immersion cooling system company headquartered in Houston, USA. It holds a total of 30 immersion cooling technology patents and has installed related facilities for leading global companies such as Intel, as well as the U.S. Department of Defense, National Security Agency, and Air Force data centers, providing maintenance services as well.

GRC awards Electrosafe program certification only to products suitable for all immersion cooling facilities worldwide, including those it has built. It is regarded as the most reliable indicator in the immersion cooling dedicated lubricant market, where official product standards are still insufficient.

An HD Hyundai Oilbank official said, "Only a few global top-tier companies such as Shell, TotalEnergies, and Castrol have obtained related certification from GRC," adding, "We plan to conduct demonstration projects with domestic data center companies soon."

Meanwhile, HD Hyundai Oilbank has launched the Xteer EVF (Electric Vehicle Fluid) brand and is selling lubricants for electric vehicles. It is accelerating new market development by supplying industrial vehicle lubricants even in the highly entry-barrier North American market.
