Fuel cells set to take off – from 2027
PEM fuel cells were pioneered in the 1960s by NASA. Now, suggests Nedstack’s Jakob Bruinsma, they’re on the cusp of the big-time

Fossil fuels are involved in almost every aspect of human activity and production. So, a roadmap to net-zero will need the help of specialists who know how to get there
Demonstrating that a particular material is better for the environment than another might be hard, but new tools have been released proving the environmental advantages of plastic piping over metal
The data center sector is one of the most demanding in the world. Cummins’ Rich Scroggins tells DCD how data center operators are leading the way towards sustainability and decarbonization
For data center piping solutions, plastic isn’t just the most sustainable choice, it also means less maintenance and greater reliability, GF Piping System’s Benjamin Sheppard tells DCD
Sustainability is about way more than just installing LED lights in the foyer. It starts before you’ve even designed that new data center – and extends far beyond environmental responsibility
Most applications can be hosted out of any data center, anywhere in the world. So why not choose data centers in the most sustainable locations offering stable power prices?
Data centers are made from concrete, cement, steel and glass, and consume vast amounts of power. So how can operators genuinely become “sustainable”, let alone achieve net-zero?
Mineral oils used in first generation immersion cooling can discolor, develop odors and cause capacitors to swell. But there are better coolants guaranteed to remain stable for 15+ years
With GRC’s ‘try before you buy’ program, you can verify immersion cooling’s performance before taking the plunge
Data centers are prodigious users of water, but attempts to reduce on-site water usage often just shifts water usage upstream to power generation, argues Excool’s Jon Pettitt
While data center operators want their fleets to be as uniform as possible, customer demands and regulatory requirements mean that, ultimately, many hyperscale data center elements need to be made-to-measure
Think it won’t happen for another decade? Think again: data center regulations could be coming in just a year or two, says Node Pole’s Christoffer Svanberg
Net-zero carbon emission promises will not be easy to keep unless data center operators radically rethink their cooling, warns Vertiv’s Nigel Gore
Data centers have been getting ever-more efficient for more than two decades, but there is still much to do, say Niall Killeen, Harry Benson and Nick Armstrong from CAI
Single-use plastics have been criticised for being environmentally harmful, but high-tech, long-lasting plastic technology in piping can enable energy efficient liquid cooling and much, much more
As data center operators seek cleaner, more sustainable options, natural gas backup microgrids could improve emissions and cut costs, through revenue-generating market participation programs
THG is the company behind scores of online brands – including IWOOT – and needed state-of-the-art storage to support its multi-brand ecommerce platform
New Galaxy V series offers up to 99 percent efficiency, claims Schneider, and could pay for itself within two-and-a-half years
Net-zero carbon emissions and other environmental considerations will out-rank price and even security in the future, suggests Bjerke
Green Revolution’s new Series 10 offers twice the power in a completely integrated system, says GRC’s Ben Smith
If you can buy a jet engine ‘as-a-service’, why not data center cooling? asks Airsys USA president Paul Quigley
Microsoft’s Brian Marrs outlines Microsoft’s carbon emissions strategy that goes beyond net-zero
Demand for Excool’s energy efficient, water efficient data center cooling products has heated up since the release of the Excool Zero
Over the next five years, Asia’s data center industry will become the largest in the world, but space constraints and power could limit the sector’s potential, warns SoftIron’s Andrew Moloney
Genuine sustainability requires data centers to focus on power-efficient hardware as much as big renewable power contracts, argues SoftIron’s Andrew Moloney
