WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 3, 2022
/CNW/ -- Generac Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global
designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other
power products, and EODev, a French developer and manufacturer of
zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell power generators, today announced
a formal distribution agreement. Generac will offer EODev's GEH2® –
a large-scale, zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell power generator –
to the North American market.
The distribution agreement signifies the continued growth and
availability of alternative energy solutions for the industrial
power sector, which addresses a pioneering market in the transition
to low-carbon and emission-free power solutions. This collaboration
emphasizes Generac's Powering A Smarter World strategic
focus and equally expands EODev's presence in the North American
market with its cutting-edge, one-of-a-kind hydrogen fuel cell
power generators.
Generac has placed an initial order for the GEH2® generators,
some of which have already arrived in the
United States. Generac's ability to manage in-house service
and maintenance, rental solutions and client support teams across
the country make it an ideal partner for EODev's expansion plans in
North America, as Generac can
provide end-clients relevant support to handle acquisition,
installation, and servicing of the GEH2® units.
"Generac Industrial Power is proud to partner with EODev to
offer GEH2® hydrogen fuel cell power generators to North America," said Erik Wilde, executive vice president of
Industrial – Americas at Generac. "Harnessing the power of hydrogen
allows us to provide solutions that are engineered for the planet,
while delivering value to customers committed to investments in
carbon-free solutions. Hydrogen fuel cell power generators can play
an important component in the expanding alternative energy space,
and the GEH2® platform demonstrates our commitment to providing
cutting-edge products that improve energy resiliency, optimize
energy efficiency, and lead in environmental
stewardship."
"We are delighted to have Generac further the EODev promise in
the North American market. Beyond their vast expertise, we share a
common ambition to accelerate the energy transition through our
clean and innovative solutions," said Jérémie Lagarrigue, chief
executive officer of EODev. "Thanks to EODev's GEH2®, tomorrow's
solutions for carbon-free power generation in North America are already available today. We
look forward to sharing with you their first projects in this
promising market."
GEH2®, the ally of the energy
transition on land
The GEH2® uses a fuel cell and a lithium iron phosphate battery,
reducing noise emissions and providing an instant start. This
combination of power enables the GEH2® to deliver up to 110 kVA of
power. Developed to be easy to use, the GEH2® is equipped with
event-driven electrical outlets, standardized frequency and voltage
levels, as well as remote monitoring and data acquisition.
Designed to provide virtually any energy ecosystem with
instantaneous power, the GEH2® offers a silent solution without
emissions of CO2, HC, NOx, or fine particles.
The GEH2® emits only warm water and filtered air.
With its plug-and-play approach, the GEH2® was developed
with the aim of easily integrating into all industries and
environments. Designed to meet environmental challenges without
sacrificing efficiency, it is suitable for virtually all sites and
sectors of activity, whether prospective customers are seeking
energy autonomy, desiring a backup solution, or operating in a
confined site or regulated zero-emissions zones.
