Fuel Security And Cost Advantages
Experience Resilience During Natural Disasters: Unlike diesel, which relies on vulnerable surface transport, natural gas pipelines are buried underground and are highly resistant to disruptions caused by severe weather. This ensures your backup system will have a continuous fuel supply.
Cost Efficiency You Can Depend On: Natural gas (CNG or RNG) is typically cheaper than diesel, providing a significant reduction in operating costs. Additionally, CNG and RNG backup generators meet the industry-standard 10-second startup time, ensuring a seamless transition to standby power (also known as Emergency Power Supply or Standby Power). In most setups, a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) bridges the gap until the generator starts, saving costs on fuel and maintenance over time.
Join The Future Of Backup Power
Natural Gas Microgrids Provide Complete Solutions For Data Center Backup Power: Natural gas microgrids are transforming how data centers manage backup power. These systems provide:
Reliability: With modular designs, natural gas microgrids offer more reliability than traditional diesel generators, ensuring continuous operation even during long outages. Studies show that natural gas microgrids can achieve over 99.99% uptime, providing exceptional reliability for critical operations.
Grid Independence: Using behind-the-meter (BTM) configurations, natural gas microgrids allow your data center to operate independently from the grid. These systems can include island mode capability, which enables the microgrid to automatically disconnect from the grid during outages or fluctuations and continue providing power. Natural gas microgrids often incorporate advanced energy storage systems (such as lithium-ion batteries) and smart control technology to optimize power distribution and demand response. This setup not only reduces reliance on external power sources but also protects against volatile energy prices, while ensuring power stability and enhanced energy security.
Revenue Generation: Natural gas microgrids can generate revenue by participating in energy markets, such as demand response programs or capacity auctions, helping to offset operational costs while boosting energy efficiency. In some cases, businesses have seen up to a 20-30% reduction in energy costs through revenue generation from grid services, including selling excess power back to the grid during peak demand periods.
Safety First
When it comes to backup power, safety is paramount. Natural gas microgrids are engineered with built-in safety features, including automatic shutoff valves, leak detection systems, and emergency stop controls to prevent hazards. Studies show that natural gas has one of the lowest incident rates among fuel sources, with a reliability rate of over 99.9% for safe operations.
Our systems are designed to comply with FEMA and NFPA 110 standards, ensuring your data center stays secure in all conditions. These guidelines require emergency systems to provide uninterrupted power(FEMA) within 10 seconds of an outage, a standard that CNG-powered systems easily meet due to their rapid response times. Additionally, FEMA’s recommendation for mission-critical facilities to maintain at least three days of fuel on-site can be easily achieved with CNG pipelines, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during extended emergencies.
We place great emphasis on routine testing and preventive maintenance to ensure backup power systems are fully functional when needed. Regular inspections of valves, pipelines, and other critical components help prevent leaks and ensure long-term reliability, in line with FEMA and NFPA recommendations.
Additionally, our systems feature remote monitoring capabilities, providing real-time diagnostics and automated alerts in the event of malfunctions. These systems allow for prompt response, significantly minimizing risks by catching potential issues early.
In seismic-prone areas, our underground CNG infrastructure offers enhanced protection against earthquakes, as recommended by FEMA's seismic guidelines for critical infrastructure.
We also perform regular compliance audits to ensure systems meet or exceed FEMA and NFPA standards. These audits provide an added layer of safety assurance, ensuring that your data center remains in compliance with the highest safety protocols.
To further ensure fire safety, we integrate advanced fire suppression systems around power generation areas, adding another layer of protection in accordance with NFPA fire safety regulations.
Our team is fully equipped to provide you with a comprehensive safety consultation report, tailored to your facility’s needs. This report will detail all necessary steps to ensure compliance and safety, helping you mitigate risks and safeguard your operations.
This integration of CNG systems not only ensures compliance with FEMA and NFPA guidelines but also offers a robust, environmentally sustainable, and disaster-resilient backup power solution for data centers.
Back Up Data Centers Power Consumption
What’s It Take?
The required kilowatt (kW) capacity to power a data center depends on several factors, including the size of the data center, the power consumption of servers and cooling systems, and the desired level of redundancy.
As a general guideline different data centers sizes require different power:
Small Data Centers: Typically require around 100 kW to 500 kW of power.
Medium Data Centers: Often range from 500 kW to 1 MW (1,000 kW).
Large Data Centers: Can need 1 MW to several MW of backup power, with some requiring as much as 5 MW or more depending on the facility’s scale and infrastructure.
The efficiency of a data center is also measured by its Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). A data center with a PUE of 1.5 requires 50% more power than the IT load alone, accounting for additional infrastructure such as cooling, lighting, and electrical systems. According to Uptime Institute, the average PUE in data centers is around 1.58, which can significantly influence the total power requirements.
Redundancy requirements—such as N+1, 2N, or even 2N+1 configurations—can also increase the necessary power capacity to ensure continuous operation during power outages or equipment failures. Some facilities may require multiple generators or modular systems to meet these heightened demands.

FAQ'S
What makes natural gas a better choice than diesel for emergency backup power in data centers?
Natural gas is a cleaner and more sustainable option compared to diesel. It offers a continuous fuel supply through underground pipelines, making it less vulnerable to disruption during emergencies such as floods or natural disasters. In contrast, diesel fuel requires frequent refueling and is subject to price volatility and environmental regulations due to its higher emissions of pollutants like NOx and CO2. Additionally, natural gas-powered generators often meet the industry-standard 10-second startup time, ensuring minimal downtime during outages.
How quickly can a natural gas backup power system provide power after a grid outage?
According to FEMA and NFPA 110 guidelines, emergency power systems must be able to deliver power within 10 seconds of a grid outage. Natural gas-powered systems are well-suited to meet this requirement due to their rapid response times and reliable fuel supply. This ensures that critical infrastructure, like data centers, experiences minimal disruption during power outages.
Can natural gas systems run for extended periods without refueling?
Yes, natural gas systems are designed for long-term use. Unlike diesel, which requires regular refueling, natural gas is supplied continuously via pipelines, enabling CNG-powered systems to run indefinitely without the need for manual refueling. This ensures compliance with FEMA's recommendation for mission-critical facilities to have a backup power system capable of running for at least three days during extended emergencies.
What safety features are included in a natural gas backup power system?
Natural gas systems include several built-in safety features, such as automatic shutoff valves, leak detection systems, and emergency stop controls to prevent hazards. These systems are also designed to comply with FEMA and NFPA 110 safety standards, ensuring they are protected from environmental risks like floods and fires. Additionally, regular maintenance and monitoring further enhance the safety and reliability of these systems.
Can you provide consulting services to help with the installation and management of a natural gas backup power system?
Yes, we offer full consulting services for the installation, maintenance, and management of natural gas backup power systems for data centers. This includes contingency planning, system design, and on-site equipment management. We also help you transition to more sustainable and green energy solutions by incorporating renewable natural gas (RNG) options.
