If you are a site manager dealing with strict city emission laws and noise complaints — this project developed a 100 kW stationary generator that replaces polluting diesel engines. It eliminates CO2, NOX, and soot emissions while providing power on demand.
Zero-Emission 100kW Power Generator Replacing Diesel Engines for Construction and Remote Sites
Imagine a battery that is a liquid you can pour into a tank, but it's much safer and denser than hydrogen gas. This system takes that liquid and turns it back into electricity using a special converter and a fuel cell. It's like having a diesel generator, but instead of smog and noise, it only releases water vapor and a bit of CO2 that was already captured from the air.
What needed solving
Construction sites rely on noisy, polluting diesel generators because grid connections are often impossible and hydrogen gas is dangerous and hard to store. This creates a massive carbon footprint and violates tightening urban emission regulations.
What was built
A 100 kW stationary power generator featuring a proprietary reformer that converts liquid Hydrozine into hydrogen for a fuel cell.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an energy provider dealing with the difficulty of storing hydrogen gas in large quantities — this project developed a Hydrozine-based system. This liquid carrier stores up to 4 times as much hydrogen as pressure bottles and is safer to transport.
If you are a developer dealing with the 23% of global GHG emissions caused by construction — this project developed a zero-emission power source. It uses biogenic CO2 and water to create a 100% renewable fuel cycle.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price of the generator?
Based on available project data, the specific unit price is not disclosed, although the project aims to provide 'affordable' hydrogen gas via its reformer.
Is this technology ready for industrial scale?
Yes, the project specifically aims to introduce a 100 kW stationary power generator for commercial availability.
What is the IP or licensing status?
The technology is based on a patented reformer that converts Hydrozine into hydrogen gas.
How does this comply with environmental regulations?
It addresses regulatory restrictions on GHG emissions by producing zero NOX, SOX, and soot, making it a 100% renewable fuel option.
What is the deployment timeline?
The project period runs from 2022-03-01 to 2025-08-31, indicating the development and commercialization phase is currently active.
Who built it
The project is led by a single Dutch SME, DENS POWER BV, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a fast-track commercialization path where the coordinator owns the IP and manages the entire development of the 100 kW generator without the complexity of a multi-partner academic consortium.
