Awareness of the urgent need to tackle climate change, and of the economic and political stakes involved… Initiatives in favour of ‘low-carbon’ events are multiplying, whatever the sector of activity. Concerts, festivals and sporting events are all making a point of decarbonising, while offering participants a convivial experience. While giving priority to recyclable waste, setting up awareness-raising campaigns and favouring a circular economy are not to be overlooked, reducing the impact of the electricity consumed by various off-grid structures (sound, lighting and technology) is a major concern for the producers of such events, who are increasingly keen to avoid the use of traditional diesel generators.
Our solutions in action
The We Love Green festival powered by a GEH2
For 4 days, a hydrogen power generator provided electricity to the festival’s Playground area, in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes, supplying a stage and the surrounding infrastructure.
A fan zone sustainably powered
For several days, a fan zone was powered by a hydrogen generator. As a result, no odors, noise or emissions were emitted, for an optimal on-site experience for the public.
Powering a Netflix shoot
The GEH₂ was used to light a luminous balloon on a shooting scene for the Lupin series. TSF called on EODev to power a scene in the middle of the night.
Boomtown music festival power supply
The biggest musical festival of UK has decided to innovate by powering one of the main stage HYDRO with decarbonized energy produced by four hydrogen power generato, the GEH2 from EODev
Powering a Netflix shoot
Since 2023, EODev has been proud to contribute to the energy supply for one of the world’s largest sporting events. Several GEH2 hydrogen generators are deployed to meet the multiple energy needs on site.
Hybrid power supply with a BESS battery system
To provide a sustainable power supply for numerous music festivals and drastically reduce their emissions, several BESSTIE battery packs have been deployed. These are configured in hybrid mode and paired with thermal generators to reduce reliance on diesel systems, or in backup mode to provide emergency power in the event of a grid outage. There’s a BESS system for every need..
How to Choose the Right Event Generator for Your Project
Event power generators are becoming a strategic consideration for organizers: low-carbon commitments by music labels and festivals, local governments’ climate plans, restrictions in low-emission zones, and audience expectations regarding noise pollution are reshaping the landscape of temporary power solutions. Hydrogen and battery storage now offer a credible alternative to diesel generators, without compromising on reliability.
Sizing Power Based on the Nature of the Event
Main stage, sound and lighting control room, food service, fan zone, backstage: each area requires a different power level and peak load management. The GEH₂® delivers 100 kVA per unit and can be paralleled to support larger setups, while the BESSTIE® 120 absorbs peaks and evens out the load over time.
Anticipating Regulatory Constraints and Site Acceptability
An event held in a downtown area, a designated historic site, a Natura 2000 zone, or near residential areas is subject to noise and emissions thresholds that are increasingly ruling out diesel-powered generators. A zero-emission, silent event generator with no local emissions ensures the site’s acceptability to local residents and authorities. The fuel cell technology powering the GEH₂ is also featured in the REXH₂, our maritime solution certified by Bureau Veritas under the TAC program: the same proven platform used in the most demanding infrastructure applications.
You have a question,
we have the answer.
EODev designs and manufactures the zero-emission GEH₂ and BESSTIE solutions. Their deployment at events, festivals, concerts, film productions, sports events, is handled through a network of partners. To identify the right solution for your event and how it can be made available, contact our team.
The GEH₂ delivers 100 kVA of power and can be deployed in multiple units to supply a stage, fan zone or technical infrastructure. Combined with a BESSTIE storage system, it handles peak demand and the most demanding off-grid configurations.
Yes. Unlike diesel generators, the GEH₂ runs on a fuel cell with no combustion engine. It produces electricity without noise or vibration, making it ideal for concerts, film shoots and events where audience comfort matters.
The GEH₂ emits no local CO₂, NOx or fine particles. Powered by hydrogen, it releases only water. It directly supports the decarbonization goals and ESG commitments of event organizers.
Yes. These solutions are designed for sites with no grid connection: open-air festivals, sports events, mobile film productions and temporary fan zones. They provide autonomous, reliable and decarbonized power where no fixed source is available.
