AVK Partners with Landmark Power Holdings to Deploy Carbon Capture Technology in UK Data Centres
AVK, a leading provider of power solutions, is taking steps to further decarbonize the data centre sector in the UK by integrating carbon capture technology at various sites. The company has entered into a three-year memorandum of understanding with Landmark Power Holdings (LMPH) to incorporate post-combustion carbon capture into behind-the-meter microgrids for UK data centres.
Key Points:
- AVK and LMPH’s collaboration aims to reduce operational emissions while ensuring uptime by combining resilient microgrid design with LMPH’s patented FLEXPOWER PLUS platform.
- The partnership will focus on integrating ASCO’s carbon capture technology with Rolls-Royce’s mtu gas engines to create behind-the-meter systems that can operate independently of the grid when needed and contribute to the wider energy system.
- AVK will lead the design, planning, implementation, and maintenance of the carbon capture technology at sites in County Durham, Dagenham, and Heathrow, with plans for further expansion across the European Economic Area.
This strategic agreement signifies AVK’s commitment to providing sustainable power solutions for the growing data centre industry and preparing for the future of microgrids and dispatchable power. The partnership between AVK and LMPH aims to address the challenge of decarbonizing dispatchable on-site power as energy demand from AI and hyperscale technologies continues to rise.
Mick Avison, CEO of LMPH, expressed confidence in the partnership’s ability to deliver on the shared vision of decarbonizing data centres without compromising resilience, leveraging the proven effectiveness of FLEXPOWER PLUS technology at scale. The collaboration between AVK, LMPH, ASCO, and Rolls-Royce is poised to pave the way for innovative developments in low-carbon energy solutions for the data centre sector.
