Equinix has teamed up with the National University of Singapore to investigate the potential of hydrogen as a green fuel source for datacenter infrastructure.
The global datacenter and colocation provider said it has formed a partnership to examine on-site power generation technologies for bit barns of the future with the Centre for Energy Research & Technology (CERT) at the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) College of Design and Engineering.
According to Equinix, the research will compare the efficiency of proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells with fuel-flexible linear generator technologies in providing power for datacenters.
The project is the result of a memorandum of understanding between the two entities, under which CERT will conduct an analysis of the technologies, in order to determine their viability to operate at large scale.
