Caterpillar, in collaboration with Microsoft and Ballard Power Systems, has been recognized for its work in datacenter hydrogen fuel cell technology, winning the ‘Systems Development and Integration’ award at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) 2024 Hydrogen Program Merit Review Awards.
The Ballard Power Systems-supported project has successfully demonstrated its megawatt-scale fuel cell platform at Microsoft’s Cheyenne, Wyoming, datacenter. The 1.5MW fuel cell and battery microgrid solution successfully demonstrated increased resiliency and lower carbon intensity, providing applicability beyond standby, over a simulated 48-hour outage.
