In the Japanese city of Shunan, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has initiated a demonstration together with Tokuyama Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation to operate a hydrogen-derived data center and a stationary fuel cell power plant<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The project reuses fuel cell systems from FCEV electric vehicles<\/a><\/strong> from FCEV electric vehicles, specifically the Honda CR-V e:FCEV model, adapted for stationary use.<\/p>\n\n

The hydrogen used comes from the saltwater electrolysis process. saltwater electrolysis process developed by Tokuyama<\/a><\/strong> Tokuyama is developing in the region, allowing a constant supply with low emissions. The electricity generated is destined for a distributed data center operated by Mitsubishi<\/strong>, with the aim of validating the performance of this type of infrastructure in environments with high energy demand. <\/p>\n\n

The plan contemplates operating the facility in different modes: as a backup power source, as a primary off-grid system, to reduce consumption peaks, and to balance grid supply and demand. <\/p>\n\n

All of this is managed by an EMS system that coordinates the combined use of the fuel cell power plant, the electrical grid, stationary batteries<\/a><\/strong> and renewable sources.<\/p>\n\n

Objectives and future projection<\/h2>\n\n

The collaboration between the three companies<\/a><\/strong> also seeks to reduce costs for adopters and advance the decarbonization of power for data centers. data centers<\/a><\/strong>The collaboration between the three companies also aims to reduce costs for those who adopt these power plants and advance in the decarbonization of energy for data centers, a sector whose demand will grow driven by artificial intelligence and autonomous driving. <\/p>\n\n

This approach reinforces Honda’s strategy around hydrogen, a field in which it has been researching for more than three decades, and opens up possibilities for applications in critical industrial, commercial and service sectors.<\/p>\n\n
