eBay's New Data Center Powered 100% by Fuel Cells
eBay announced it will power its flagship data center with renewable energy as its primary power source, the first company to do so. The company is building the largest non-utility fuel cell installation in the US and although it will be tied to the grid, that's only for backup. And it will run on biogas from landfills. Most renewable energy installations typically supplement electricity from the grid, but eBay is integrating it into the core of its global commerce platform, incorporating 30 Bloom Energy servers into the new data center's energy architecture.
