EcoGen by Kilows Energy delivers clean, scalable power generation using PEM hydrogen fuel cell technology — deployable in standard shipping containers or custom-engineered steel structures for utility-scale plants.
EcoGen power systems electrochemically convert hydrogen fuel into electricity using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks — producing only fresh water and heat as byproducts. No combustion. No exhaust. No emissions.
Unlike solar or wind, EcoGen systems run on demand — day or night, any weather — providing reliable baseload and peaking power.
Stack multiple containerized units or engineer large steel structures — scale from tens of kilowatts to multi-megawatt installations.
The electrochemical reaction produces high-purity water — a valuable co-product in remote or water-scarce deployment locations.
Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells are the most advanced, commercially viable hydrogen power technology — offering rapid start/stop capability, high efficiency, and silent operation with no moving combustion parts.
Green H₂ fed to anode side from storage or pipeline. Gas management system regulates pressure & flow.
H₂ molecules split into protons (H⁺) and electrons (e⁻) at the platinum catalyst anode.
H⁺ protons travel through the Nafion® polymer membrane. Electrons are forced through the external circuit — generating current.
O₂ from air combines with returning electrons and protons at the cathode. Pure H₂O is the only reaction product.
DC from the stack is conditioned through power electronics and inverted to grid-quality AC. Scalable via parallel stacks.
EcoGen power systems are engineered for two primary form factors — from rapid-deploy containerized units to permanent utility-scale steel structures.
EcoGen C-Series deploys PEM fuel cell stacks within standard ISO 20ft or 40ft shipping containers. Self-contained, road-transportable, and grid-ready in days. Ideal for distributed, remote, and temporary power needs.
EcoGen P-Series plants are built in permanent engineered steel structures — purpose-designed for utility-scale hydrogen power generation. Ideal for industrial campuses, municipalities, and large-scale distributed generation.
Compared to fossil-fuel power generation, EcoGen eliminates CO₂ emissions entirely. The only output is clean water and low-grade heat.
EcoGen systems are purpose-built for demanding, emissions-sensitive, and mission-critical power applications across industries.
Zero-emission primary or backup power for hyperscale and edge data centers. Meets Scope 1 reporting requirements with high reliability.
Replace diesel generators in off-grid communities. Reliable power with no fuel trucking and no emissions — suitable for Tribal, northern, and island communities.
Clean power & co-generated heat for manufacturing, processing, and industrial campuses pursuing net-zero operational targets.
Fast-response generation for utility grid balancing, demand response programs, and mission-critical backup power infrastructure.
Silent, low-signature power for forward operating bases, command facilities, and critical infrastructure with no combustion emissions or exhaust.
Clean shore power and facility generation for ports pursuing IMO emissions standards and zero-emission zone compliance.
EcoGen is the power generation core of ZENG Power — a strategic joint venture between Kilows Energy (EcoGen) and ZapTech, Inc., combining methane pyrolysis hydrogen production with zero-emission PEM fuel cell power generation.
ZapTech converts natural gas and biomethane into clean hydrogen via pyrolysis — producing solid carbon (not CO₂) as a byproduct. EcoGen converts that hydrogen into electricity and fresh water. Together, ZENG Power delivers end-to-end zero-emission energy from hydrocarbon feedstocks.
