Technology
High in power, large in capacity & completely green
We provide green energy anywhere, anytime. The Watermeln hydrogen generator solution consists of two components: the WM-200 unit and external hydrogen tanks.
Intelligent battery & fuel cell combination
The Watermeln 200 is an innovative genset that works on the basis of chemical reactions, meaning no combustion takes place. The fuel cell converts hydrogen into electricity and heat through a chemical process, while the battery provides peak power delivery and ensures an optimal balance between supply and demand.
Our hydrogen tanks store hydrogen gas at high pressure, allowing a much larger volume of gas to fit in one cubic metre. The hydrogen is produced by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using electricity sourced from regional renewable energy sources such as wind or solar.
This way, we not only achieve emission-free power on-site but also ensure the entire chain is sustainable and emission-free.
WM-200
The mobile hydrogen generator based on fuel cell and battery technology. The unit can operate in 3 operational modes: stand-alone off-grid, grid-connected, or with an additional battery for peak load.

High in power
By intelligently combining Li-ion batteries and fuel cells, we can provide similar high power levels for both short and long durations, just like a conventional diesel generator. This ensures a reliable source of powerful, emission-free electricity.
Large in capacity
Green hydrogen, the energy carrier of the future, offers up to 10 times more energy per m3 than batteries. Thanks to our quickfill system, up to 7 MWh is available within 10 minutes. This is essential for energy-intensive projects or limited spaces.
100% green
A reality where emission-free construction and festivities are not a pipe dream? We enabled it. Together, we're working towards a future where sustainable power is the norm, free from CO2, nitrogen, or particulate emissions. This way, we contribute to a clean world and a healthy environment. Oh, and by the way, we also have pure drinking water left over that we can reuse.
Mobile plug & play
Our Watermeln 200 technology is integrated into a standard 10-foot container. Thanks to standardised dimensions and lifting points, they can be easily loaded onto trucks, ships, and trains, ensuring efficient and flexible global transport. Connecting to hydrogen and the user is a quick and straightforward process.
Peace of mind
At Watermeln, peace of mind is our priority. Our service not only includes the delivery of clean energy, but the full package: transport, expert installation, precise monitoring, and the necessary hydrogen supply. We take care of everything, providing sustainable energy solutions that perfectly match your needs.
Online monitoring
Our IoT capabilities unlock a world of benefits. Thanks to sensors and connections, the system can gather real-time data about fuel levels, performance, and maintenance needs. This enables proactive maintenance, minimises downtime, and optimises efficiency. As a customer, you also gain access to crucial data and insights, ensuring you're always well-informed.

Silent
The Watermeln units offer significant advantages over diesel generators, primarily due to their silence. While diesel generators are often noisy and cause disturbances, our system operates virtually silently. This makes them ideal for use in residential areas and other locations where noise reduction is essential. This contributes to a more environmentally friendly and tranquil living environment without compromising on power supply.
But how does it actually work?
Hydrogen gas (H2) is a promising and environmentally friendly energy carrier with various applications, including vehicle fuel, electricity storage, and industrial processes. One of the most commonly used methods to produce hydrogen is electrolysis, followed by high-pressure storage. Take a look on our hydrogen roadmap page:
