Dutch Data centre biz NorthC is replacing its backup power generators at the company’s facility in Groningen to run on green hydrogen, saying it’s a European first for data center design.<\/p>\n

The H2<\/sub>-powered 500KW hydrogen fuel cell module will run on hydrogen created by renewable power and is intended to reduce consumption of diesel by tens of thousands of litres a year, while preventing 78,000 kilos of CO2<\/sub> emissions per year, according to<\/a> NorthC. The only emissions in the new fuel cells, made by Dutch builder Nedstack, will be water, and the hardware is expected to be good for 20 years of operation.<\/p>\n
