INNIO announced that its “Jenbacher Ready for H2” engine technology has been selected by NorthC Datacenters (NorthC) to deliver an emergency backup power solution for its newest data center, which will be constructed in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Six Jenbacher hydrogen engines will provide carbon-free emergency backup power in cases of electricity grid outages. The Jenbacher Type 4 hydrogen engines generate a total power output of six megawatt and will be delivered as a containerized package. The Eindhoven data center including the hydrogen emergency backup power solution and the on-site hydrogen storage solution is a greenfield project, that is expected to be operational in the second half of 2023.
