“And the idea of ​​using green hydrogen fits perfectly with our carbon commitment as a whole,” he said as quoted in a Microsoft press release, Tuesday, July 28.

The technology giant’s idea has been exploring hydrogen fuel cells since 2018, when researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO used proton exchange membrane hydrogen (PEM) fuel cells to power computer devices.

Until finally infrastructure engineers from Microsoft developed a fuel cell system using hydrogen. The result is that this fuel cell is capable of producing 250 kW of electrical energy for 48 hours which is now used to operate Microsoft servers and data centers in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States (US).

The team plans to develop this alternative fuel cell to produce up to 3 megawatts of power, making it suitable for use as a backup generator. “It is possible that the Azure data center could be equipped and run entirely on hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers that convert water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen,” said Monroe.

It is known, this system can integrate with the electric power grid to provide alternative energy services. In addition, Microsoft also offers convenience for owners of hydrogen-powered vehicles, can come to the data center to refuel their cars.

“By continuing to develop hydrogen fuel technology, Microsoft could eventually serve as the company’s model for the use of hydrogen fuel cells elsewhere,” added Monroe.

Previously, this initiative had also been carried out by Jeff Bezos’ retail company, Amazon. Amazon announced that it will provide some funding through the Amazon Climate Pledge program.

Approximately 2 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp28 trillion will be granted Amazon to help advance technology that will reduce greenhouse gases. This fund will help Amazon and other companies comply with The Climate Pledge initiative that began in September 2019. The promise to be zero carbon by 2040.

ESO's giant telescope captures images of butterfly-like planet nebulae

JAKARTA – There are many celestial bodies and their phenomena that have various forms. Sometimes strange but also amazing. Like this one celestial body is similar to a butterfly shape. As reported by Syfy, Sunday, August 2, dubbed the planetary nebula or NGC 2899, astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have just photographed the celestial body in great detail using the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The object NGC 2899 is located between 3000 and 6500 light years in the Southern constellation Vela (The Sails), which has two central stars and is believed to give it a nearly symmetrical appearance. In addition, the planetary nebula is also named after the annihilated stars that eject a diverse layer of gas and cosmic material into space, often spherical in appearance similar to a planet. Only about 10 to 20 percent of planetary nebulae display this type of bipolar form, and of course this is a very rare celestial body phenomenon. The planetary nebula was born when anc...

UI Research, Employees Look for Alternative Income through GoFood During the Pandemic

JAKARTA – The COVID-19 pandemic has not only had an impact on public health, but has also created a worldwide economic crisis. The biggest impact is felt by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private workers. Not a few of the office employees were sent home during the COVID-19 pandemic. To find additional sources of income, they began to use platform digital and delivery services especially at GoFood. Based on research data from the Demographic Institute of the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia (FEB UI), during the COVID-19 pandemic there was a new increase in Go-Food partners since March 2020. But unfortunately 43 percent of them do not have sufficient business experience.

Return of Two NASA-SpaceX Astronauts from Outer Space

JAKARTA – Two astronauts from the American Space Agency (NASA) have safely arrived on Earth. Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley rolled off the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday and returned home to Earth in a SpaceX Crew Dragon (Demo-2) in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. Previously, these crews broke away from the US $ 150 billion (US) worth of ISS, where they spent 63 days with all their scientific research. Capsule Demo-2 easily survived the hot temperatures of the Earth’s atmosphere 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit. This is also the first US landing in 45 years.
