NOVA... delivers a containerized system that extracts hydrogen from ambient air using high‑efficiency PEM electrolysis and feeds a fuel‑cell stack to generate up to 500 kW of continuous electricity. The same platform condenses atmospheric moisture to produce up to 1,200 L/day of potable water, eliminating the need for diesel fuel or water convoys in remote or disaster environments.

Problem
Field operations, disaster zones, and remote critical infrastructure often lack reliable grid power and depend on diesel convoys or water trucks for fuel and potable water. This logistical chain is vulnerable to supply disruptions, creates a high operational signature, and limits mission endurance.
Solution
NovaSpark Energy delivers a mobile atmospheric hydrogen generation platform that extracts hydrogen directly from ambient air using high-efficiency water‑splitting electrolysis. The produced hydrogen feeds a fuel‑cell stack that provides continuous electrical power, while a parallel condensation system captures water vapor to generate potable water on‑site. Each modular node is containerized for rapid, tactical deployment and can be scaled from 3 kg to 250 kg of hydrogen per day, eliminating the need for external fuel deliveries or grid connections. Integrated remote monitoring and a secure communications interface enable operators to manage production, power output, and water quality from a central command console. The system’s ultra‑low emission and minimal thermal/ acoustic signature support stealth operations for military and security applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and military units requiring on‑site drone and vehicle fueling, emergency response agencies (e.g., FEMA, NGOs) needing autonomous power and water in disaster zones, and operators of critical infrastructure such as telecom sites, hospitals, and data centers that must maintain continuity during grid outages.
