Nugen
Nugen uses powder to power technology to safely and efficiently transport Hydrogen and turn hydrogen "powder" into electricity on demand for both remote, off- grid applications and supplemental to the grid electricity.
The problem
AI power demand is outpacing grid capacity. For data centers, power, not compute, is rapidly becoming the primary constraint on growth. When power is unavailable, every alternative brings tradeoffs: emissions, limited duration, complex fuel infrastructure, large footprints, or slow deployment.
Company's solution
Nugen turns power from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage: clean, modular, on-site energy wherever growth demands it. We deliver swappable solid-state energy cartridges that can be shipped as cargo, stored on-site, and converted into clean electricity whenever needed. We use a patented solid-state energy-carrier architecture to generate clean electricity on demand without any conventional fuel infrastructure. Energy is shipped as stable solid-state cartridges and converted into power by a proprietary catalytic reactor technology and a Physical AI control layer. The result is a compact system that delivers up to 30% more usable electricity per unit volume than diesel. No pipelines. No complex storage or fuel infrastructure. For data centers, that means clean, long-duration power that can be deployed quickly, expanded modularly as demand grows, and used for backup, grid support, or expansion without waiting years for new grid infrastructure.

Worth mentioning
Nugen is excited to announce a new 2026 investment from ESIL to accelerate our mission of delivering grid-independent, on-demand power to data centers and other mission-critical facilities through our solid-state hydrogen cartridge platform.
