Zepp.Solutions launches hydrogen generators to replace diesel off-grid

The generators provide a drop-in, zero-emission power source for sites where grid access is limited or demand is high.

The Dutch technology firm said its new Zepp.generator series delivers up to 600kW continuous and 1MW peak power output. Each system includes all the required components, housed within standard 10-20-foot ISO containers.

One 10-foot unit is already operating in the Netherlands, powering a fully electric wire-crane vessel. The generator charges the ship’s 2MWh battery packs every night.

“These containerised solutions make large-scale zero-emission power accessible anywhere,” explained Jonas Brendelberger, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Zepp.Solutions.

“With these systems, we’ve made hydrogen fuel cell power as easy to deploy as diesel, but without the emissions or noise.”

Based on the company’s X150 platform, which is already powering hydrogen trucks and vessels across Europe, the generator product is available in four standard configurations: 150kW, 300kW, 450kW, and 600kW.

“With industry-leading efficiency of up to 62%, the generator sets deliver a cost per kWh comparable to diesel while eliminating CO2, NOx, and particulate emissions entirely,” the firm said in a statement.

Hydrogen can be supplied to the units from a tube trailer, a multiple-element gas container (MEGC), or a cylinder bundler.

Hydrogen can provide a reliable and sustainable off-grid energy solution through fuel cell generators, helping industries achieve both economic and environmental goals on their path to Net Zero.
