Yuval Bachar on Hydrogen-Powered Data Centers Emerge

In this Nomad Futurist episode, Yuval Bachar, CEO of EdgeCloudLink (ECL), joins co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence to explore ECL's innovative approach to sustainable and adaptable data centers, built to meet the unique demands of the AI era. Bachar shares insights into ECL's groundbreaking technology and vision for the future of digital infrastructure.

ECL was founded with the goal of transforming traditional data centers — making them more accessible, efficient, and high-performing. Bachar explains:

"We started to create and deliver an alternative data center solution in the market, and it was pre-AI. We had a vision to actually be able to create an alternative to the core locations that are accessible to everybody.”

At the core of this vision is ECL’s off-grid, hydrogen-powered data center, eliminating the need for UPS systems and diesel generators. Bachar highlights the safety and reliability of hydrogen as an energy source, emphasizing ECL's direct pipeline connections and stringent safety protocols to mitigate risks:

"So the refineries in the area of Houston are heavy, heavy users of hydrogen, and they use it in their process for refining oil into gasoline... Imagine that they're operating this as part of a petrochemical process, right? So if it was dangerous and not manageable, they would not use it."

Bachar unveils ECL’s expansion plans with a one-gigawatt Texas site, designed to support both large AI models and smaller applications. Its modular, off-grid architecture enables rapid deployment and ensures it stays ahead of AI advancements:

"We are looking for a solution right now, and it's coexisting [with] what's called, ‘over the fence,’ with those sites and actually taking from them the energy directly... transitioning it into a data center quality power with on-site storage."
