Equinix: Equinix explores deployment of hydrogen fuel cells at Dublin data center

Colocation firm Equinix is exploring deployment of hydrogen fuel cells at its data center in Dublin, Ireland. A spokesperson for the company noted that while a temporary demonstration pod was deployed at one of the company's sites on tour from ESB and GeoPura, is not a permanent deployment.

 Peter Lantry, managing director for Equinix Ireland, posted the news on LinkedIn this week. He said: “I am delighted to be able to give a little preview of the new ESB Hydrogen Fuel Cell zero carbon technology developed by GeoPura to our global design and operations leadership team including Equinix global head of operations Raouf Abdel at our Dublin International Business Exchange.” 

 He continued: “Equinix is committed to sustainable digital infrastructure solutions and we are working with ESB and GeoPura to develop a hydrogen-powered solution for our future International Business Exchange facilities in Dublin.”
