Hydrogen in the built environment and horticulture

As industry and heating continue to electrify, grid congestion has become a major bottleneck. In many parts of Europe, businesses now face utility connection delays of five to ten years. This often forces businesses in the building and horticulture sectors to postpone expansion plans.

Hydrogen fuel cell systems offer a practical way forward. They provide decentralized, emission-free power and heat exactly where it is needed. With zepp’s mobile generators, developers and growers can move ahead immediately without waiting for the grid to catch up, while still meeting strict environmental standards.

Running into the limits

The built environment is increasingly running into a hard infrastructure limit. In urban areas and nitrogen-sensitive regions, construction projects are under growing pressure to reduce noise, local emissions, and dependence on diesel equipment.

Growers face the same reality. Horticulture sites require large and reliable amounts of energy, while grid constraints and stricter emissions standards make conventional combustion-based power systems a less viable option.

Hydrogen in buildings and horticulture

The zepp.generators are mobile, emission-free power plants built for demanding applications. Based on our proven X150 PEM fuel cell technology, these systems generate electricity continuously from hydrogen. Unlike battery containers, they are not limited by stored charge and can deliver reliable output for extended periods.

For construction sites, buildings, and horticulture facilities, zepp.generator systems provide a behind-the-meter power source. They help prevent overloads on constrained grid connections, support peak demand, and keep operations running without diesel.

Key benefits for the built environment and horticulture sectors

Zero-emission compliance
Fuel cells emit only pure water vapor and operate at low temperatures, guaranteeing compliance with the strictest Natura 2000 and urban zero-emission zones.

Continuous multi-shift power
Unlike battery units that become “dead weight” once depleted, hydrogen generators run continuously as long as fuel is supplied, making them ideal for greenhouse operations or high-uptime construction sites.

Quiet urban operation
Operating at noise levels below 68 dB, our generators eliminate the noise pollution associated with combustion engines, allowing for work in residential areas or noise-sensitive zones.

Modular scalability
Housed in standard 10ft or 20ft ISO containers, our systems can deliver 150 kW to 1 MW of peak power. Multiple units can be combined to supply higher power demands.

Holistic safety & monitoring
Every unit is CE certified and features an integrated safety concept covering electrical safety, explosion protection, and fire detection with 24/7 remote monitoring.

Other industries.

Transport and infrastructure

In the transport and infrastructure sector, hydrogen-electric gensets can enable clean operations where the grid falls short. Zepps’ hydrogen-powered generator sets seamlessly replace diesel generators, supplying dependable, fossil-free electricity for everything from remote EV (fast) charging hubs to backup power for crucial infrastructure. 

Maritime industry

In the maritime sector, reliable power with minimal environmental impact is essential. Zepp’s hydrogen-powered generator sets provide clean electricity where conventional solutions fall short. From shore power and vessel battery charging to temporary or off-grid port operations, our systems deliver dependable, fossil-free energy without noise or emissions. 

Construction

In the construction sector, dependable onsite power is essential. Traditional diesel generators still dominate, but local emissions, noise and tightening regulations increasingly make them a liability. Zepp’s hydrogen‑powered generator sets deliver zero‑emission electricity for construction sites of all sizes, supporting clean operations even where grid access is limited, constrained or unavailable. 

Festivals and events

witching to hydrogen electric power systems is the most effective way to make festivals and large scale events truly sustainable. These mobile units deliver reliable and clean electricity to replace polluting and noisy diesel generators. Hydrogen generator sets offer continuous, high-capacity power generation that exceeds battery storage limits and recharging timelines.
