The Strategic Shift in Data Center Power and Energy Security

Short-duration battery technologies such as Li-ion and valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries are typically used in data centers as part of uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS). Data center operators also sign power purchase agreements (PPAs) to secure long-term, stable renewable energy at fixed prices, shielding them from price volatility. However, key shifts in both the energy storage technologies adopted and the long-term methods for power procurement for data centers may evolve over time. This article from IDTechEx covers shifts in the technologies adopted and business strategies data center operators may embrace over the coming years.

Beyond Blue & Green: Methane Pyrolysis Is Powering Turquoise Hydrogen

While blue and green hydrogen dominate the low-carbon hydrogen conversation, turquoise hydrogen is quietly gaining momentum. Produced via methane pyrolysis, it delivers near-zero CO2 emissions without the need for carbon capture. Recently, major industrial players such as ExxonMobil, BASF, and KBR have entered this field once dominated by SMEs. Does this signal a shift toward larger-scale commercialization, and how significant is turquoise hydrogen in the broader hydrogen landscape? In this article, IDTechEx explores the technologies, market potential, and emerging role of turquoise hydrogen in the low-carbon energy transition.
