Green Hydrogen for AI Data Centers: The Next Frontier in Clean Power
Microsoft and Caterpillar demonstrating 3MW hydrogen fuel cell system providing 48+ hours continuous backup power in Cheyenne. Data centers projected to consume 6.7
The fuel cell power package was provided by Zero Emissions Industries. It comprised of 360-kW Cummins fuel cells and Hexagon hydrogen storage tanks with a capacity of 246 kg. This system is integrated with a 100-kWh lithium-ion battery system provided by XALT and a 600-kW electric propulsion system provided by BAE Systems, , , .
Challenges for portable fuel cells come from keeping the criterion of being low weight, low-cost, high-energy density, and high efficiency, while being highly safe . SFC Energy has developed products for portable applications.
The heat produced by fuel cells can generate additional electricity through a turbine, provide heating directly to nearby buildings or facilities, and even cooling with the addition of an absorption chiller. Unlike combustion-based power generation, stationary fuel cells provide virtually emission-free power.
Explore How It Works Many companies around the country are adopting fuel cells for primary and backup power including: Adobe, Apple, AT&T, CBS, Coca-Cola, Cox Communications, Delmarva Power, eBay, Google, Honda, Microsoft, Target and Walmart, among others.
