Data Centers
Secure and efficient power solutions.
Data center solutions at the national level are a key industry trend, creating the need for decentralized power solutions. To make these onsite energy systems sustainable, integrated waste heat recovery solutions are needed to enable cooling, which usually accounts for up to 40% of a data center’s energy requirements.
Our dedicated Jenbacher experts are available to provide personal consultation.

Our approach
INNIO’s Jenbacher trigeneration plants are flexible, innovative systems offering combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) solutions.
You can bring down emissions significantly by replacing the conventional electric-driven cooling compressors now used in data centers with combined onsite power generation. Our technology uses the generated waste heat with individual solutions based on absorption chillers, heat pumps and other waste heat recovery solutions. When fueled with highly reliable pipeline gas, Jenbacher CCHP systems can cut your data center’s CO2 footprint by up to 50%—depending on the energy mix—while saving more than 20% of the primary energy used. Ready to work in parallel with the grid, Jenbacher’s engines can be a good solution for data center backup power generation.
The Jenbacher solution with Data Center Generators
In a Jenbacher trigeneration plant, the engine continuously provides electrical power, efficiently and reliably. The waste heat it generates can be used in an absorption chiller to produce continuous, energy-efficient cooling. Because they have no moving parts, absorption chillers are very reliable and represent the technology of choice for continuous operation. With Jenbacher’s gas gensets for data centers, trigeneration technology is utilized to simultaneously produce electricity, heating, and cooling, thereby maximizing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Benefits of CCHP plant for Data Centers
- Ensure supply security
Our Jenbacher CCHP plants using pipeline gas provide you with power that is independent from the grid, working as a data center’s main source of energy and/or data center backup power generators. - Lower your costs
The electrical and thermal efficiency of a Jenbacher CCHP plant can reach up to 90%. - Benefit from scalable modular system
Onsite power sources provide you with more flexibility when you need to expand your data center — or even design a new one. - Open up the opportunity for CO2 – free operation
Our pipeline gas-driven Jenbacher engines produce only half as much CO2 emissions as power produced from coal. With our “Ready for H2“ option, our engines are capable of running with up to 20% (vol) of hydrogen in pipeline gas.

Improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) with trigeneration
The following use case provides insights into the technical, financial, and environmental benefits of adopting a trigeneration system for a 10 MW data center.
How Trigeneration Technology Can Boost Data Center Efficiency And Reduce Your PUE
The rise of Big Data and cloud computing drives demand for robust, efficient data centers. Data centers now use 1.0–1.5% of global electricity, with AI increasing resource needs. This pressures operators to adopt innovative, efficient power systems. Trigeneration—simultaneous production of electricity, heating, and cooling—offers a solution. This paper shows how Jenbacher trigeneration can boost efficiency and reduce data center PUE.
