Yovole International, a global AI data center service provider, has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore-based hydrogen technology company Greenlyzer Materials, a deep tech and climate technology company, to explore the deployment of a hydrogen-powered mobile grid system for data centers in Singapore.
According to a press release, the partnership aims to address growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure. As Singapore advances its National AI Strategy 2.0, operators are facing increasing pressure on power supply as computing capacity expands.
“Liu Wei, Vice President, Yovole International, said, “By introducing hydrogen, the ultimate clean energy, into our infrastructure, we enhance our resource integration across the RCEP region and fulfill our responsibility as a leader in green AI infrastructure”.
Dr.Huang Kuan, CEO, Greenlyzer, said, “Yovole’s extensive experience in operating hyper-scale green data centers provides the ideal application scenario for our Alpha Energy System. Together, we are exploring the deep integration of hydrogen power with data center architectures to provide scalable green energy solutions for Singapore and the world”.
The project will focus on Greenlyzer’s Alpha Energy System (AES), an integrated hydrogen platform that includes hydrogen production (Alpha Stack), storage (Alpha Storage), and fuel cell power generation (Alpha Gen). The system is intended to function as a mobile hydrogen grid that can provide backup electricity and help balance peak demand for data centers.
The companies plan to launch a 1 MW proof-of-concept project at one of Yovole International’s existing or under-construction sites in Singapore. The trial will test how hydrogen power systems integrate with data center infrastructure and whether they can help maintain stable operations during periods of high computing load.
The companies claim the system could also support Singapore’s Green Data Center Roadmap by replacing diesel backup generators. Hydrogen fuel cells emit only water vapour, potentially reducing direct emissions from data center operations.
