The Grid-Free, On-Site (GFOS) platform is built on S-Fuelcell’s PEM fuel cell modules, arranged in a scalable tower configuration that can be combined to deliver “megawatt-class output.”

While the systems are expected to run on natural gas today, they have been engineered to switch to 100% hydrogen as availability scales.

“Initial rollouts will utilise natural gas to meet immediate demand surges, particularly in regions where AI infrastructure is outpacing utility development,” the company said in a statement.

“Once clean hydrogen becomes commercially scalable, GFOS systems can transition with minimal engineering revisions – ensuring alignment with hydrogen economy roadmaps in Korea, Japan, the US, and Europe.”

S-Fuelcell plans to scale manufacturing immediately and potentially open overseas production hubs.

Data centres demand uninterrupted power and typically rely on diesel backup during grid outages.

But as AI-driven electricity consumption surges, hydrogen is increasingly being positioned as a clean alternative.
