Hydrogen-ready generators for data centers
5 vendors sell gas engines or turbines that run on hydrogen blends or pure hydrogen: mtu, INNIO Jenbacher, 2G Energy, GE Vernova and Everllence. Blend shares differ by product, from blending options on gas gensets to turbines with specified hydrogen-capable configurations, so the table quotes each rating as published.
Counts come from the sourced dataset; the methodology sets the rating rules.

The lines behind each row
All 37 vendorsHow to read the columns
Methodology- Smallest unit kW
- Lowest published electrical output of one generating unit in the named Lines, in kWe. Portfolio minima may include portable models. Standby where available; kVA-only figures assume 0.8 power factor. Consult Rating basis and scope; blank when unverified.
- Largest unit kW
- Highest published electrical output of one generating unit in the named Lines, in kWe. Standby where available; other duty and frequency bases are disclosed in Rating basis and scope. kVA-only figures assume 0.8 power factor. Mechanical output and multi-unit totals are excluded.
- Prime mover
- What turns the alternator in the named lines: a reciprocating (piston) engine, a gas turbine, or both.
- Hydrogen
- Hydrogen capability exactly as the vendor states it: blend share by volume, '100% hydrogen' or 'hydrogen-ready' with its conditions. Blank when the vendor states none.
- Fuels
- Fuels the vendor lists for the named lines: diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil, EN 15940), natural gas, biogas, propane, hydrogen blends.
- Lines
- The product series this record covers. Ratings, fuels and emissions refer to these lines, not to the vendor's whole portfolio.
