Microsoft has signed an agreement with ESB to power its data centre in Dublin using zero emissions green hydrogen. This pioneering pilot project in Europe aims to supply up to 250kW of energy to the Microsoft campus over an eight-week period. ESB's hydrogen fuel cells convert stored green hydrogen into electricity, producing only pure water as a by-product and eliminating carbon emissions and harmful pollutants. The collaboration between Microsoft and ESB is part of a series of planned projects showcasing the potential impact of hydrogen energy in decarbonizing the data centre sector in Ireland. The initiative aligns with the government's sustainable development principles, focusing on efficient use of the electricity grid and renewable energy delivery. Both companies express optimism about the future role of green hydrogen in achieving a net-zero energy system and advancing sustainability in the technological sector. Overall, the project highlights the potential of green hydrogen as a clean energy solution and sets a precedent for further adoption of sustainable practices in the data centre industry.
