Oracle's Project Jupiter Data Center to Use Fuel Cells - Albuquerque ...
Oracle said the fuel-cell system will cut nitrogen oxide emissions by about 92% while giving the AI campus around-the-clock power.
- This week, Oracle announced an expanded collaboration with Bloom Energy to deploy 2.45 gigawatts of fuel cell generators at its New Mexico Project Jupiter datacenter complex.
- Oracle originally planned gas and diesel generators for Project Jupiter but shifted to fuel cells to supplement grid power amid President Trump's demands that datacenters shield voters from higher power bills.
- Previously, the firm committed to purchasing 1.2 gigawatts of capacity with the option to expand to 2.8 gigawatts, using Bloom Energy systems that primarily run on natural gas.
- Oracle pitches the move as green, noting that fuel cells consume less water and reduce smog-generating emissions compared to combustion alternatives, despite relying on natural gas supplies.
- Ellison, Oracle's chief supporter of the Make America Great Again movement, has contributed mightily to Republican political campaigns in recent years, suggesting alignment with broader energy priorities.
