INERGIO develops compact, high-efficiency fuel cell generators that deliver clean, silent, and autonomous power for off-grid and mission-critical applications.
Designed to replace diesel generators!
Our systems run on widely available fuels such as propane and natural gas, and are also compatible with biogas, methanol, and hydrogen—offering unmatched flexibility for today and tomorrow’s energy needs.
With units deployed across the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, France, and Switzerland, INERGIO powers mobile surveillance, telecom, and remote infrastructure. Our production line in Renens is now fully operational, positioning us to scale and meet growing global demand. As we gear up for accelerated growth in 2026, INERGIO is uniquely placed to lead the next wave of distributed clean power.
