A protest against the perilous use of coal-fired plants slammed recently Apple.
The Greenpeace organization has taken this decision.
Due to this, Apple plans to use fuel cells to power up its North Carolina data center.
This will feed on biogas captured from landfill sites.
4.8 megawatts worth of fuel cells were supplied by Bloom Energy.
So, Apple want to lighten its carbon footprint. In this case greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced, using biogas instead of the conventional natural gas.
Apple wants Maiden to be one of the greenest datacenters known to mankind.
