Watch a 12-minute presentation exploring alternative energy solutions for reducing data center carbon emissions, focusing on hydrogen storage and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Learn about various integration approaches including hydrogen fuel cell-based backup systems, hyperscale data centers powered by SMRs, and hybrid microgrid solutions combining both technologies. Examine current global initiatives from companies and government agencies investing in these technologies, while understanding why hydrogen energy storage shows more promise for data center applications compared to SMRs. Discover the technical constraints, implementation challenges, and potential future impacts of these emerging technologies on the data center industry through a comprehensive literature review presented by Professor Aaron Wemhoff.
