As data centre demand continues to grow, operators are exploring ways to reduce emissions while maintaining the high levels of reliability required for critical infrastructure. One emerging solution is the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a cleaner alternative to conventional diesel for backup power systems. What Is HVO? Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a next-generation renewable fuel produced from 100% waste-based feedstock, such as used cooking oils and fats. It is designed to function as a direct substitute for traditional diesel fuel, without requiring changes to existing engines or infrastructure. Compared to fossil diesel, HVO can reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly while delivering comparable performance. Why Backup Power Matters for Data Centres Backup power systems are a critical component of data centre operations. In the event of grid disruption, generators must start quickly and reliably to ensure uninterrupted service. In many markets, backup generators are also regularly tested under load to meet operational and regulatory requirements. This makes fuel quality, consistency, and reliability essential factors in day-to-day operations. How HVO Works as a Drop-In Replacement One of the key advantages of HVO is that it can be used as a “drop-in” fuel. This means it can be deployed in existing diesel backup generators without modification, enabling operators to adopt a lower-carbon fuel option without redesigning infrastructure. This compatibility allows data centres to transition more easily toward cleaner energy solutions while maintaining operational continuity. Validating HVO in Real-World Conditions Recent pilot projects have shown that HVO can perform reliably across a full range of backup power scenarios, including generator startup, load transfer, and sustained operation under real data centre conditions. Testing under real operational load is particularly important, as it reflects how backup systems are used in practice, not just in controlled environments. Supporting Lower-Carbon Data Centre Operations The…

Bridged Data Centres (BDC), in collaboration with Vertiv, is advancing next-generation data centre capabilities through a flagship liquid cooling project in Malaysia (MY07). Designed to support high-density, AI-driven workloads, this project reflects the growing demand for more efficient and scalable digital infrastructure. Supporting High-Density AI Workloads As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, data centres must handle significantly higher power densities. Traditional cooling methods are no longer sufficient. Liquid cooling offers a more effective solution by improving heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency, and enabling greater compute performance within the same footprint. Full-Scale Factory Testing for Performance Assurance Ahead of deployment, a full 1:1 factory acceptance test (FAT) was conducted to replicate real-world operating conditions. This rigorous validation process ensures that the system meets performance, stability, and integration requirements before installation. The testing approach highlights BDC’s commitment to engineering excellence and delivering reliable, high-performance infrastructure solutions. Strong Collaboration Driving Innovation The MY07 project demonstrates the strength of collaboration between BDC and Vertiv. By combining expertise in data centre development and critical infrastructure technologies, both parties are delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of AI and high-performance computing environments. Enabling the Future of Digital Infrastructure With increasing demand for AI-ready data centres, liquid cooling will play a critical role in supporting future growth. BDC remains focused on delivering scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions to meet the needs of hyperscalers and enterprise customers across the region.

Offshore hydrogen power generation could support the next phase of digital growth in Singapore and beyond. As AI adoption accelerates across Asia Pacific, demand for more advanced digital infrastructure is rising alongside the energy required to power it. For the region’s data centre operators, securing a sustainable and reliable power supply is a long-term strategic priority. This challenge is particularly acute in Singapore, where digital infrastructure demand continues to surge amid land constraints and tightly managed energy resources. Hydrogen and Singapore’s energy transition To support Singapore’s long-term energy security and decarbonisation goals, the government has identified low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives as a key potential pathway under its National Hydrogen Strategy. Hydrogen is widely regarded as a promising low-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuels and is gaining traction globally as governments and industries seek cleaner energy pathways. According to the Energy Market Authority, hydrogen could potentially meet up to 50% of Singapore’s power needs by 2050 and has the potential to be adopted across different sectors as a low-carbon fuel or feedstock. As Singapore advances its hydrogen ambitions, the focus will increasingly shift from policy and research towards developing practical deployment models that can support real-world adoption at scale. Pioneering innovative hydrogen solutions Amidst this backdrop, Bridge Data Centres (BDC) is at the forefront of exploring how hydrogen can support the future of AI-ready digital infrastructure. BDC has partnered with Concord New Energy (CNE) to jointly develop Singapore’s first floating hydrogen power generation solution tailored for next-generation AI data centres. The collaboration combines BDC’s expertise in hyperscale data centre development and operations with CNE’s technical capabilities in renewable and hydrogen energy systems.
