Hydrogen-Powered Data Center Demonstration

under demonstration

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has started a joint demonstration project in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, to operate a data center using by-product hydrogen and a stationary fuel cell power station developed from repurposed automotive fuel cells. The project collaborates with Tokuyama Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation and is part of Japan's NEDO hydrogen utilization program. The demonstration explores multiple operational scenarios including backup power, off-grid primary power, peak-shaving, and grid balancing, integrating power from fuel cells, the grid, stationary batteries, and renewable sources.
