NovaSpark Energy Corporation, a provider of on-site hydrogen fuel and sustainable energy generation, has received a contract from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop a mobile hydrogen fuel generation solution.

The partnership will leverage NovaSpark Energy’s "Air-to-Power" technology for next-generation defense applications and mobility.

“In collaboration with the DIU, the project focuses on demonstrating advanced technology to further long-range deployment efforts across the globe,” said Andrew Mawdsley, DIU Program Manager for HyTEC. This award is part of the DIU's mission to enable access to commercially derived disruptive capabilities across the entirety of the DoD enterprise.”

DOD mission partners for the project will be the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O) and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC PAC).

“We are not just innovating for today but shaping the future of energy technologies to support defense and commercial sector needs,” said Rick Harlow, Vice Chairman and co-founder of NovaSpark Energy. “Our involvement in this DoD project marks a significant step towards revolutionizing hydrogen fuel implementation across the nation and globally."
