Real Talk – Do we Really Need to Replace those Diesels?

Monday, October 24, 2022, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

As the data center industry is pushing forward to become more sustainable, one controversial topic remains on what to do with using diesel generators. We may love or hate them. This panel of industry leaders represents different technology providers, such as fuel cells, different generator technologies (incl. diesel) and battery solutions. We’ll look at hydrogen, natural gas and other fuel options. Representatives from the environmental agency or utility will round out this panel. Panelists will have the opportunity to debate and help the audience to better understand what to do moving forward. We will take a close look at the good, the bad, and the ugly. Real talk – real results!
