AI data centers are some of the largest consumers of electrical energy in the world of computing, and with gigawatt-sized projects currently in development, there is increased demand for sustainable means to power them. It just so happens that there's one solution that's entirely off-grid, with apparently zero emissions, and even generates the water required for cooling. Enter stage left, hydrogen fuel cells.
What might come as a surprise, though, is that it's only just started to be used in the machine learning sector, with the very first implementation coming from AI firm Lambda, utilising the services of hydrogen power company ECL.
