BRIDGEPORT (WV News) — The companies powering the AI computing revolution have pledged to spend billions of dollars in the coming years constructing sprawling data centers throughout the country.
A recently announced partnership between Diversified Energy, FuelCell Energy and TESIAC looks to provide a reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly way to meet the enormous electricity needs of these centers using Appalachia’s abundant natural resources.
The collaboration would use natural gas and methane captured from coal mines supplied by Diversified via pipelines to fuel cells, which would generate power through the electrochemical conversion of methane to hydrogen.
