The new campus is scheduled to be operational by H1 2028, enabling quick speed to market benefitting from the already-zoned site Sollefteå, Sweden – atNorth, the leading Nordic high-density colocation and built-to-suit data center provider, today confirmed plans to develop a 300MW data center in Sollefteå Municipality, Sweden. Located at Hamre Industrial Park in Långsele, the new site will be developed on a 50-hectare plot (Hamre 1) and is expected to be operational in H1 2028.The Hamre Industri...
Video: Mobile Battery Energy Storage System-Cornell University
Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the New York Power Authority (NYPA) is collaborating with Cornell University and EPRI to demonstrate use of a quieter and lower-emission mobile battery energy storage system (MBESS) as a replacement for portable diesel generators. A newly designed MBESS unit was field tested at Cornell’s Ithaca campus to validate the system’s ability to provide temporary power during various large outdoor events. The unit also will be evaluated for its contribution to energy...

The best hydrogen for heavy-duty transport is locally produced and green
Photo credit top collage: Samara Doole, Possesed Photography, Thomas Reaubourgh via Unsplash.com If trucks ran on hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions from heavy-duty road transport could be significantly reduced. At the same time, a new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows that differences in how the gas is produced, distributed and used greatly affect its climate benefits. Locally produced green hydrogen is the best option for the climate – with th...
Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently without the scarce metal platinum
A green advance | A research breakthrough opens up for efficient hydrogen production from solar energy – without using the scarce metal platinum. In a reactor at a chemistry laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, bubbles of hydrogen gas can be easily seen with the naked eye as they form – showing that photocatalysis is happening efficiently.
