Our team supported a renewable energy developer in capturing hyperscale data center demand through a tailored strategic framework. Our approach identified regional demand drivers, benchmarked the client’s sites, and defined a differentiated positioning focused on renewable integration, grid resilience, and scalability. Combining geospatial and market analytics, procurement insights, and competitive benchmarking, Eco Decarb Forward delivered clear, actionable strategies that enabled the client to monetize assets, enhance market positioning, and attract long-term strategic partners in the evolving data center ecosystem.

Our team Led technical and commercial strategy for data-center power supply, advising developers and offtakers on power procurement pathways and powered-shell infrastructure, weighing grid supply, pricing, and contract structure. Evaluated behind-the-meter generation and storage against grid-interconnection pathways, analyzing reliability, time-to-power, congestion, nodal and LMP pricing, and grid-support revenue trends to define the architecture that maximized asset value and deployment speed. Aligned system design with ISO/RTO interconnection rules and corporate sustainability targets.

Our team conducted a comprehensive fire and explosion risk assessment for a lithium-ion battery energy storage system deployed within a modular data centre. The analysis evaluated thermal runaway and deflagration hazards, characterized enclosure response under failure conditions, and established separation-distance requirements against adjacent equipment and critical infrastructure. Work included reviewing applicable fire codes and standards, assessing gas detection and ventilation provisions, and identifying mitigation measures to protect personnel, equipment, and continuous data centre operations in the event of a cell-level failure.

Our team evaluated pre-FEED and system-wide design for a distributed EV and hydrogen station network co-located with a CNG station owner's existing sites, integrating and testing tri-gen, electrolyzer, steam methane reforming (SMR), fuel cell, and battery storage subsystems. Defined system architecture, equipment sizing, and integration criteria across generation, storage, and balance-of-plant (BOP). Work included assessing site-level power and fueling demand, establishing interface requirements between hydrogen production, dispensing, and electrical subsystems, and evaluating trade-offs among generation pathways to balance capital cost, efficiency, and reliability.

Our team partnered with a heavy-duty transport operator to design strategic roadmaps that integrate emission reduction considerations, cost modeling, and future technology scenarios in the hydrogen mobility market. Our analysis assessed trailer operations and transport flows to identify efficiency opportunities and align fleet transition with emerging hydrogen production and offtake initiatives. By benchmarking against global sustainability standards and modeling future cost trajectories, we provided a roadmap that balances operational performance with long-term decarbonization goals. The result was a clear, actionable strategy enabling the client to position itself as a first mover in sustainable hydrogen-based logistics.

Our Team assessed battery energy storage, load management, and heat pump conversion for an existing occupied building facing BERDO (Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance) by evaluating various heat and power pathways to define a cost-effective 10-year decarbonization strategy. Work included assessing electrical service capacity against projected heat pump load to determine whether conversion triggers a service upgrade, comparing conversion options against the existing heat distribution system, and modeling lifecycle cost against the incumbent fuel with federal, state, and utility incentives stacked to a net installed cost. The resulting roadmap reduced emissions, improved resilience, maximized available incentives, and prioritized occupant safety and uninterrupted building operations during future upgrades.
