Moorhead is working with BWR Innovations to develop a hydrogen microgrid system for backup power to its IT server room, funded by a $170,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The system will provide cleaner energy alternatives to gas generators, generating electricity from hydrogen gas and atmospheric air.

It will produce 20 kilowatts and include a telemetry system for managing power supply and demand. The project aims to support emergency services and aligns with the city's clean energy goals. BWR Innovations also seeks to apply hydrogen technology in city buildings, military, trucking, and farming.
