Endeavour Announces Pact: A New Clean Hydrogen Fuel System to Power AI Data Centers
The hydrogen fuel and solid carbon co-production technology unlocks low-cost, carbon-neutral energy for hyperscale applications
NEW YORK, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AI cloud providers require clean, gigawatt-scale generation capacity that operates 24/7 to address the widening power gap. Today, Endeavour, the full-stack data center and infrastructure innovation company, introduced Pact, a scalable hydrogen and solid-carbon co-production technology that enables affordable, continuous, clean power for AI.
This revolutionary carbon-neutral energy system operates on plentiful natural gas and biomethane feedstocks and is cost competitive with conventional fossil fuel energy sources.
"There have been few low-carbon options that can be deployed quickly at the scale and cost needed for AI campuses and heavy industry. The Pact system fills that gap," said Jakob Carnemark, CEO and Founder of Endeavour. "It's the first technology to provide clean hydrogen fuel to power AI data centers and other technology infrastructure while simultaneously capturing carbon and transforming it into critical materials for trillion-dollar industries that have historically been difficult to decarbonize."
Pact is a continuous-flow, closed-loop methane cracking system that co-produces hydrogen fuel and high-quality graphite. Based on proprietary technology proven by a decade of development, the system passes methane through a low-temperature, energy-efficient catalytic reactor that separates the hydrogen component and immediately sequesters the remaining gaseous carbon by converting it into solid graphite. The resulting hydrogen has a lower direct lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint than electrolysis-based "green" hydrogen.
The Pact system has been rigorously tested with manufacturing partner, EBNER, a leader in hydrogen technology for industrial applications, at EBNER's U.S. headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio. "This is an important milestone for the hydrogen industry," says Herbert Gabriel, Managing Director of EBNER. "The Pact system dramatically reduces the environmental footprint of conventional fossil-based hydrogen and overcomes the scalability challenges of electrolysis-based systems."
"Instead of storing carbon or releasing it into the atmosphere, Pact is creating the foundation for a carbon materials platform backed by a growing patent portfolio of clean chemical synthesis and functionalization technologies," says the system's inventor and Pact Chief Technology Officer, Juzer Jangbarwala.
Pact creates revenue-generating pathways through a wide range of differentiated graphitic and carbon nanomaterial offerings for applications such as advanced semiconductors, enhanced electrical transmission cables, low-carbon concretes, and efficient carbon dioxide capture technologies. When this functionalized carbon displaces energy-intensive graphite imports, the Pact technology results in a net carbon-negative energy source.
Pact can be close-coupled with power generators, including Endeavour's TurboCell power system, for just-in-time fuel production, which eliminates many of the storage and transportation challenges faced by traditional hydrogen energy systems. The system's small footprint and modular design enable it to support generator systems ranging from 5 MW to more than 1,000 MW.
Pact is available exclusively through Endeavour's Edged Infrastructure. For more information, please visit www.pactsystems.com
