Renewable Innovations Collaborates with National Laboratory of the Rockies to Advance Fuel Cell Power for AI Data Centers
Renewable Innovations has announced its participation in a new three-year collaborative research and development project led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). This project aims to advance fuel cell-powered solutions to meet the rapidly expanding power demands of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The initiative, titled 'FC-DC: Fuel Cell Solutions for Brownfield and Greenfield Data Centers,' was selected through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels and Feedstocks Office (AFFO). Renewable Innovations, a leader in hydrogen fuel cell technologies, will design, develop, build, and validate a fuel cell rack system specifically engineered to power and cool high-power compute racks directly on the data center floor. This approach seeks to support the demanding and dynamic power profiles of AI workloads while improving efficiency, reliability, and simplicity in data center power infrastructure.
