Sustainable film production
Produced by Netflix Australia and starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, APEX reflects the film industry’s growing commitment to deploying low-carbon energy solutions on set as alternatives to conventional diesel generators
Following its successful deployment to power part of the filming for Lupin Season 2 in 2022, EODev is once again proud to contribute to the decarbonization of a major film production, this time APEX, through its local partner and distributor.
Committed to the energy transition for several years, Netflix is working to make all its film, series, and documentary productions more sustainable, paving the way for a greener film industry.
Quiet, mobile and clean energy solution
In this context, EODev was selected for the mobility, flexibility, and proven efficiency of its solution: the GEH2, a clean and silent generator. Designer, developed and manufactured in France, it is perfectly suited for noise sensitive environments like film sets.
At full power, it produces only 65 decibels—equivalent to a conversation. Powered by a second-generation Toyota fuel cell it converts hydrogen into decarbonized electricity without emissions, releasing only water and steam.
For these reasons, the GEH2 was deployed for two months to power the entire base camp for the filming teams on site (electrical equipment, trailers, kitchens, etc.).
The energy needs for the shoot, located near Sydney in the outskirts of Pitt Town, were immense.
Over two months of use, the GEH2 produced nearly 5 megawatts of electricity to power the camp, avoiding 21.5 tons of CO₂ emissions compared to a traditional diesel generator—and saving 5,200 liters of fuel in the process.
We are proud to have contributed to this project, which highlights the reliability and relevance of clean, silent, and high-performance energy tailored to the demands of film productions—made possible by a hydrogen generator like ours.
