Full article: Fujitsu Becomes First Silicon Valley Company to Install Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power (17-Aug-07)

Fujitsu has become the first Silicon Valley company to install its own hydrogen power plant. The new hydrogen fuel cell will provide 50% of the power needed to cool the Fujitsu Sunnyvale Campus data centre and labs, hence reducing the amount of fossil fuels utilised. This move to hydrogen power is claimed to be an excellent investment for the company as the technology has a payback period of about three and a half years, and a lifespan of approximately fifteen years.

The instalment of a hydrogen fuel cell is the latest in a series of environmental initiatives from Fujitsu; other initiatives include the end-of-life product-recycling program and meeting the requirements of the EU’s RoHS standard for eliminating toxic substances. Fujitsu has made the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the past eight consecutive years.
