- Equinix ( NASDAQ: EQIX ) has joined forces with the Centre for Energy Research & Technology (CERT) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) College of Design and Engineering to study technologies that make it possible to use hydrogen as a green fuel source.
- By 2030, the company will keep working to improve the sustainability of digital infrastructure and achieve its science-based climate neutral targets.
- Together, Equinix and CERT will be conducting a comprehensive analysis to compare two clean on-site power generation technologies for data centers of the future and will launch the world's first research project to compare the efficiency of proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and fuel-flexible linear generator technologies.
- The research collaboration will involve a holistic assessment of the suitability of these technologies for tropical data centers.
- By driving innovation in Singapore, the Equinix and CERT partnership aims to accelerate disruptive technologies that can reduce the carbon footprint of global data centers, particularly in tropical locations.
