ECL Unveils Hydrogen-Powered Data Centers

In a resounding proclamation of technological innovation and environmental stewardship, ECL has unleashed plans for what it proudly touts as the world’s inaugural modular, sustainable, off-grid data center, fueled by hydrogen as its primary power source.

This audacious endeavor not only promises carbon-neutral operation but also pledges a staggering uptime of 99.9999%.

Modular data centers, akin to building blocks, hold the key to scalability, enabling companies to initiate their journey with a modest footprint and seamlessly expand as their computational needs burgeon. ECL’s avant-garde data centers are ingeniously structured as 1-megawatt blocks, offering the flexibility required to match evolving demands.

ECL’s data-center-as-a-service model is meticulously designed to cater to mid-sized data center operators and enterprises straddling the realms of on-premises IT and cloud infrastructure. The financial allure is compelling – ECL asserts that the total cost of ownership over a five-year horizon is expected to be two-thirds of the expense entailed by conventional colocation data centers.

ECL’s ingenious design is imbued with a commitment to the environment. Its data center modules are devised to be completely independent of local resources, operating sans power or water dependency, while remaining steadfast in achieving a zero-emission status. The data center’s serene noise levels and green footprint position it as an ideal choice for remote and edge installations.

The resilience of ECL’s design extends to its uptime prowess. With an unparalleled uptime of 99.9999%, ECL’s data centers forge a new benchmark in mission-critical operations, underscoring their dependability for even the most demanding applications.

One of the standout features of ECL’s venture is its agility in deployment. By negating reliance on local utilities, the data centers can be expediently designed and deployed. ECL envisages a significant reduction in planning and construction cycles, condensing them from the conventional 18 to 24 months to an efficient span of six to nine months.

ECL’s cooling infrastructure, which harnesses the by-product of hydrogen-based power generation – water – is emblematic of ingenious resource utilization. This self-contained cooling system ushers in higher density-per-rack capabilities, rivalling traditional data centers. ECL is set to achieve an exceptional power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratio of 1.05, a remarkable feat by industry standards, enabling up to 50 kilowatts per rack.

The recent infusion of $7 million in seed financing, co-led by Molex Ventures and Hyperwise Ventures, marks a pivotal milestone in ECL’s journey. These funds are earmarked for amplifying ECL’s market presence and propelling the construction of its inaugural data center, poised to take shape at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
