In the quest for net-zero power generation, data center providers routinely deliberate on the best way to contribute to the ‘cleaning up’ grid-scale power and ‘green’ backup power and generation too. In 2021, the European Clean Hydrogen Partnership announced the €2.5 million EcoEdge PrimePower project (E2P2) to develop hydrogen fuel cells for data centers across Europe.

With involvement from consortium of members including colocation provider, Equinix, power equipment provider, Vertiv, along with eco-entrepreneurs, InfraPrime, can collaboration finally produce industry market buy-in for hydrogen?

This multi-partner case study will look at the future of hydrogen fuel cells and assess the ongoing battle for market and technological validation.
