Innovative Partnership to Provide Sustainable Power for Data Centers from Coal Mine Methane and Natural Gas
Key Ideas
  • Collaboration between Diversified Energy, FuelCell Energy, and TESIAC aims to provide 360 megawatts of electricity to data centers in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky within two years.
  • The partnership focuses on creating an Acquisition and Development Company to deliver reliable, cost-efficient, net-zero power using natural gas and captured coal mine methane (CMM).
  • The projects aim to reduce the carbon footprint of data centers, create jobs in the Appalachian region, and offer on-site, continuous, and scalable power generation for data centers even in volatile market conditions.
  • By leveraging natural gas production, fuel cell technology, and innovative financing, the collaboration aspires to set new industry standards in carbon-optimized power generation and sustainable energy solutions.
Diversified Energy, FuelCell Energy, and TESIAC have announced a strategic partnership to address the energy needs of data centers by supplying up to 360 megawatts of electricity to locations in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. The collaboration will create an Acquisition and Development Company focused on delivering reliable, cost-efficient, net-zero power from natural gas and coal mine methane to meet the growing demand of data centers. By integrating natural gas and coal mine methane into fuel cells for power generation, the process aims to be combustion-free and environmentally friendly, qualifying for environmental and tax credits. The partnership seeks to create jobs and economic benefits in the Appalachian region while providing on-site, continuous, and scalable power generation for data centers. This innovative approach also includes behind-the-meter solutions, disruptive financing models, and carbon-optimized power generation. Industry leaders from Diversified Energy and FuelCell Energy express optimism about the potential of the partnership to meet the future power needs of data centers sustainably and efficiently.
