ECL says it will build a 1 GW hydrogen-powered AI factory data center in Houston, Texas, with Lambda as its first tenant. The initial $450 million phase is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
ECL said it will build the “first fully sustainable” 1 GW AI factory data center on a 242.81-acre site east of Houston, Texas, with Lambda as its first tenant. “The first phase of TerraSite-TX1 will be completed in the summer of 2025 a cost of approximately $450 million, with 50 MW of data center capacity for use by data center cloud and AI cloud operators,” said the data center-as-a-service company, noting that the data center will run on hydrogen. “The entire 1 GW site will be built at a cost of approximately $8 billion, with financing from ECL and financial partners.”
GE Vernova has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to lead an AI-enabled project that addresses the challenges of siting, permitting, and installation across the hydrogen value chain. The company will enter into award negotiations worth $1 million in federal funding with the DOE to finalize the terms and scope of the project. GE Vernova said H2Net is expected to develop an AI assistant trained in critical documents for the safe handling and licensing of hydrogen.
Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled its end-to-end hydrogen solutions, which span the entire hydrogen value chain and include waste-to-hydrogen (W2H) and plastic-to-hydrogen (P2H) technologies. These technologies produce hydrogen from organic waste, such as food and sewage sludge, and from non-recyclable plastic. At the event at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) near Seoul, the company highlighted South Korea’s first W2H facility in Chungju, which converts food waste into hydrogen and supplies it to nearby fuel stations.
Ecoclean has collaborated with the German Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoffforschung Baden-Württemberg to commission their first jointly developed, production-ready electrolyzer. The P200 consists of two modular units with a capacity of 1 MW and has a modular system based on electrolysis under alkaline pressure, with a system capacity of 1 MW to 20 MW. The partners have also set up capacity for the series production of the electrolyzers, which are already available on the market. They said they had designed the initial production phase for a production of 200 MW per year, which could easily be doubled based on market developments.
CPH2 has completed Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for its MFE110 electrolyzer, which reportedly produced hydrogen and oxygen to predetermined specifications for commercial deployment. The MFE110 will now be shipped to Northern Ireland Water for on-site installation, integration and commissioning before commencing commercial hydrogen and oxygen production. said the UK-based manufacturer of electrolyzers.
