1 day agoNatural gas fuel cells were a pretty popular choice there for a while. Bloom energy has been marketing their shit towards datacenters for as long as I can remember, and as far as I know they use a similar mechanism to hydrogen fuel cells where you’re just stripping electrons off of the methane molecules.
It’s also a byproduct of petroleum refinement and an even worse greenhouse gas than CO2, so breaking it down into CO2 and water is better than just releasing it. Might as well make some lemonade.
