Revolutionizing Sustainability: Launch of the World’s First Zero-Emission Hydrogen-Powered Off-Grid Data Center in Reno

A groundbreaking zero-emission data center powered entirely by clean hydrogen energy has officially launched, marking a significant milestone in sustainable technology infrastructure. The off-grid facility, located in Reno, Nevada, integrates cutting-edge NVIDIA GB200 and NVL72 AI systems and operates without reliance on traditional power grids. This operation leverages green hydrogen generated by the adjacent Sierra Hydrogen facility, which uses renewable power to produce the fuel, showcasing a practical model for sustainable, high-performance computing.

EdgeCloudLink and DG Energy Partners collaborated to develop the energy infrastructure, which includes a 1.5-megawatt distributed data node. This system demonstrates the growing potential of hydrogen not only for clean transportation and industrial uses but also for powering advanced digital technologies. This pioneering approach could serve as a blueprint for future data centers striving to reduce emissions and improve energy independence.
