INNIO and Hub demonstrate 3 MW 100% hydrogen backup

INNIO Group has completed an industry-first live demonstration of 100% hydrogen-fueled backup power at the 3 MW scale in collaboration with the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers (April 23, 2026).

• Test details: The 3 MW-class validation at INNIO’s research facility in Jenbach, Austria, ran INNIO’s Jenbacher engine on 100% hydrogen, validated using AI load profiles and large rapid load fluctuations to meet mission-critical data center response profiles; testing was witnessed by Microsoft, Google, and Data4.
• Program context & partners: The test is part of the Hub’s structured RFI-driven process to scale low-carbon back-up solutions; the Hub includes Data4, Google, Microsoft, Schneider Electric, Vertiv, and Danfoss, and the collaboration will continue to address fuel availability, storage, permitting, dual-fuel capabilities, and integration.
