Big Tech Turns to Fuel Cells to Power the AI Boom

Tech giants are tapping fuel cell developers and providers to power data and AI computing centers with technology that is cleaner and faster to implement than a conventional gas-powered electricity source. Fuel cells generate electricity by directly converting chemical energy into electrical energy without combustion. This technology can run on a variety of fuels, including hydrogen, natural gas, and biogas. As power grids become congested with the surge in power demand due to the AI boom, fuel cells could offer distributed power generation and…
