Winner: Microsoft
Project Name: The Stark and Simple Data Center

Microsoft’s ‘Stark and Simple’ design collapses the entire energy supply chain, into a small fuel cell at the top of each rack. The result is a very efficient generator that produces electricity and by-products that can be reused; like clean water, high grade heat, and pure CO2

Fuel Cells delivered by SOLIDpower
(Alberto Ravagni is founder and former CEO)

 

 “….This data center has been running in Seattle for a few years now, we haven't experienced one single outage of our design of using fuel cells...”
