Artificial intelligence is driving a significant increase in electricity demand, with projections indicating that AI data centers will account for half of this growth by 2030. In response, the startup Edgecloud Link has launched a hydrogen-powered data center in Mountain View, California, capable of generating 1.2 megawatts of power. This facility aims to address environmental challenges by consuming less water and providing excess water for community use. ECL is utilizing hydrogen sources from Nevada, with aspirations to scale this zero-emission technology in the coming years.
Artificial intelligence is projected to significantly increase electricity demand, with AI data centers anticipated to account for half of the growth in national electricity demand by 2030.
Edgecloud Link has launched a hydrogen-powered data center in Mountain View, offering a 1.2-megawatt capacity and aiming to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional grid power.
The hydrogen system at Edgecloud Link not only generates electricity but also produces 100 to 160 gallons of water per hour, addressing water consumption challenges of traditional data centers.
ECL claims to be the first company globally to launch a hydrogen-powered data center, positioning itself as a pioneer in scalable, zero-emission data center technology.
