Aluminum-air long-duration generation technology selected by Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers for Groundbreaking Clean Backup Energy Initiative in Data Centers.

The Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers, the leading global consortium of data center stakeholders—including Danfoss, Data4, Google, Microsoft, Vertiv, and Schneider Electric—has selected Aluminium-air backup solution as a key technology to accelerate the transition to data centers net-zero operations.

Phinergy’s innovative solution was chosen from over 70 proposals submitted in response to the Hub’s Request for Information (RFI) aimed at identifying clean and scalable backup energy systems for data centers. As a selected technology provider, Phinergy will be officially inducted as a member of the Hub, joining the industry’s most influential players in shaping sustainable digital infrastructure.

Phinergy and the Hub will now collaborate towards the execution of a funded project for scaling Aluminium-air backup systems to the MW level and deploying them in live environments at hub member data centers.

CEO, Alberto Ravagni Net Zero Innovation Hub, comments:

“Our mission is to speed up the large-scale adoption of clean alternatives to diesel backup generators, as they can transform data centers into key assets for modern energy systems. Aluminium-air long-duration generators have been shortlisted as a technology with game-changing potential, and we are excited to collaborate with Phinergy to scale-up this technology.”
