Wyoming

A project demonstrating the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology to provide reliable and sustainable backup power for data centers, simulating a 48-hour backup event.

A 20-year, $3.5 billion investment program to upgrade existing wind turbines, develop new wind capacity, expand solar power, and modernize transmission infrastructure in Wyoming.

Upgrade of approximately 900 MW of existing wind turbines with new blades and technology to increase generation capabilities by approximately 20%.

Technology

Heavy equipment and power systems

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.

Utilized to power the green hydrogen and clean ammonia production system, leveraging the consistent Atlantic winds in Placentia Bay.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

A project demonstrating the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology to provide reliable and sustainable backup power for data centers, simulating a 48-hour backup event.

Development of approximately 1,100 MW of new wind energy capacity throughout Wyoming, with some projects expected to begin producing electricity in 2020.

The initial hydrogen hub to be built in the San Francisco Bay Area, designed to process 50 tonnes of solid waste daily and produce up to 4.5 tonnes of renewable green hydrogen.

A patented technology using synthetic smectite clay (Laponite) that minimizes hydrogen diffusivity and enhances containment efficiency when injected into geologic formations for hydrogen storage.

A hydrogen fuel cell system with 1.5MW capacity designed for data center backup power applications. The system is integrated into the electrical plant at a Microsoft data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming and is capable of operating reliably in challenging environmental conditions including sub-freezing temperatures and high altitude.

Battery energy storage systems used in the hydrogen fuel cell demonstration for critical load support.
