Emission Free Generators

Traditional generators leave 127 million Americans in the dark. That’s why Emission Free Generators (EFG) has created a powerful, reliable alternative.

It’s developed a hydrogen-powered on-demand portable generator. This device produces zero emissions, runs silently, and can fit on your bedroom nightstand. Most importantly, it offers immediate power.

This will enable one billion people without reliable power to gain immediate access. No grid infrastructure is required. Medical devices, refrigerators, and essential electronics will stay running when the grid fails. Furthermore, its power generation that is free from harmful carbon emissions.

EFG is targeting the $7.8 billion market for generators. More than $1.5 billion of this market includes those who use non-gas-powered generators (i.e., ones that are powered by battery and solar).

EFG is aiming to complete pre-production of its generator in Q4 2025, and plans to launch initial production in Q1 2026.
