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.

On the occasion of the HyVolution trade show, held on October 27 at the Paris Events Center, GL Events and the French start-up EODev officially signed a new contract for the supply of several Hydrogen Power Generators, EODev’s GEH₂®.

As a global player in the event industry, GL events aims to accelerate the energy transition in the sector, by powering its events cleanly and sustainably.

Start-up company EODev has powered the first pleasure craft HYNOVA 40 with its onboard REXH₂® (Range Extender Hydrogen) genset. HYNOVA 40 is the first production model with electro-hydrogen propulsion in the world of tenders / dayboats approved for cruising, using hydrogen stored on board to navigate without CO₂ emissions, NOx or SOx, noise pollution, and no risk of diesel fuel leaks.

Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, Minister Delegate in charge of Transport, named NepTech and EODev amongst the winners of the “Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 Mobilities” call for innovations in the New Mobilities & Active Mobilities category, “River” section, thanks to their project to design and operate passenger shuttles equipped with a hydrogen propulsion system on the Seine river and in Marseille during JOP 2024.

The innovative ships designed by NepTech for transporting passengers on the Seine and in Marseille will be equipped with EODev hydrogen solutions, developed in collaboration with Toyota.

EODev’s STSH₂ river and maritime hydrogen distribution station, one of whose strengths is to be self-propelled, will be anchored as close as possible to the Olympic venues. NepTech is responsible for the naval design of the refueling station.

EODev confirms its ambitions to quickly become a leading player in industrial developments linked to energy transition by acquiring a stake in EVE System, based in Lyon. A specialist in design and integration of on-board intelligence and battery systems for the past 20 years, EVE System will benefit from this long-term strategic and technological link-up to accelerate its development.

EODev and Eneria have just signed an agreement for the distribution and maintenance of the GEH₂® hydrogen power-generators and the REXH₂® range extenders developed by EODev. After the industrialization contract for the GEH₂® signed early September, this new agreement confirms the excellence of EODev’s project and the performance of the GEH₂® which has been in operation on the industrial site of Eneria in Montlhéry for the past six weeks.

HYNOVA Yachts and EODev unveiled on Wednesday September 23, 2020 the RangeExtender H₂ (REXH₂®) solution selected by HYNOVA for the energy supply of its future HYNOVA 40, whose The New Era prototype was presented at the Yacht Club de Monaco as part of the of the Monaco Capital of Yachting Experience event. This presentation illustrated the conference held on Tuesday, September 22, on hydrogen as an alternative to diesel for carbon-free maritime mobility.

Thanks to a first funding campaign in mid-2019, EODev was able to set up its operational structure, sign its first strategic agreements and contracts, finance and design prototypes. Today, EODev announces the completion of its initial fundraising campaign, for a total amount of €20 million. It strengthens its role as one of the innovative players in the French hydrogen sector, whose growth is now listed as a government priority. This funding will accelerate the industrialization and commercialization of sustainable, reliable, innovative and accessible energy solutions. EODev’s products address the entire energy chain: medium power electro-hydrogen generators (GEH₂®); on-board hydrogen energy systems (REXH₂®) for maritime and river use (propulsion and life on board), and floating mobile stations (STSH₂®) for the production and distribution of green hydrogen.

EODev and the Monnoyeur Group, through its subsidiary Eneria, have sealed a partnership agreement for the industrialization by Eneria’s teams of the GEH₂® electro-hydrogen generator developed by EODev. To discover EODev’s GEH₂® in operational operation, join us between September 15 and 18, 2020 on the Eneria site in Montlhéry (91310).

Energy Observer Developments (EODev) will attend the next Cannes Yachting Festival from September 8 to 13, 2020 to present its REXH₂® (Range Extender Hydrogen) solution, integrated for the first time in a vessel other than Energy Observer: a Hynova 40 prototype developed with Hynova Yachts, the first production electro-hydrogen boat to be launched on the market.
