HyVera Distributed Energy

What HyVera Distributed Energy does

HyVera Distributed Energy is a Canadian clean-technology company founded in June 2025 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, that develops and supplies on-demand hydrogen generation technology based on patented solid-state storage. Its core product is the eCatalyst (eCat) H2 pellet — a dry, stable, non-toxic, non-hazardous fuel pellet originally co-developed by EnviroGroup with the United States Department of Defence — which, when combined with water (including seawater) at ambient temperature and low pressure, yields 99.999% pure green hydrogen without cryogenic storage, high-pressure infrastructure, external electricity, heat input, or rare earth minerals. The pellet is consumed inside the company's Hydrogen Production Units (HPUs), modular systems that scale from portable units to industrial-scale installations and that form the second product line.

HyVera monetizes through hardware sales of both the HPU systems and the consumable eCat pellets, targeting defense (including a publicly referenced United States Marine Corps use case for expeditionary power), industrial and commercial applications (ports, marine vessels, fueling stations, backup power), and remote/off-grid energy resilience markets. Distribution is enterprise field sales, with a Sacramento office focused on US sales, an Evansville, Indiana center of excellence for fuel pellet R&D, and a Kansas City US operations hub supporting a US veteran co-founding team. The company is structured as a subsidiary of Novus Innovation Group Inc., alongside sister company Blue Orca Technologies Inc., and is described as majority-Indigenous-owned; EnviroGroup Holdings serves as a US partner and investor.

The business is at a pre-commercial stage: two demonstration projects were being prepared as of the September 2025 US launch, pellet production facilities are planned in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and the Prairies, and pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed figures. Revenue, ARR, and external funding rounds are not disclosed in the available data, and the enterprise sales motion plus a single named customer logo imply that, once revenue begins, it will likely concentrate around a small number of large defense, government, and industrial accounts.

Revenue model

1. Hydrogen Production Units (HPUs): Sale of Hydrogen Production Units - modular and scalable systems ranging from portable units to industrial-scale installations that enable on-site hydrogen generation. Revenue from equipment sales to industrial, defense, and commercial customers.
2. eCat H2 Pellets: Sale of fuel pellets - dry, stable, non-toxic hydrogen storage pellets that are consumed during hydrogen generation. Pellets can be recharged into fuel pellets for second use after the reaction byproduct is dried.

Core offering

HyVera develops and supplies on-demand hydrogen generation technology based on patented eCatalyst (eCat) H2 pellets that produce 99.999% pure green hydrogen when combined with water at ambient temperature and low pressure. The company sells Hydrogen Production Units (HPUs) ranging from portable mobile systems to industrial-scale installations, along with the consumable eCat H2 fuel pellets, enabling distributed hydrogen production without cryogenic storage or high-pressure infrastructure.

Product overview

HyVera Distributed Energy offers a unified hydrogen-on-demand solution based on its patented eCatalyst (eCat) H2 pellet technology. The product portfolio centers on two key components: the eCat H2 pellets (dry, stable fuel pellets that produce 99.999% pure hydrogen when combined with water) and Hydrogen Production Units (HPUs) that deliver the hydrogen-on-demand. The eCat pellets are the input material that HPUs process on-site, enabling distributed, scalable hydrogen production without cryogenic storage or high-pressure infrastructure. The technology eliminates the need for centralized hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure by generating hydrogen at the point of use.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• eCatalyst (eCat) H2 Pellets Patented dry, stable, non-toxic fuel pellets that produce 99.999% pure green hydrogen instantly when combined with water (including seawater) at ambient temperature and low pressure. Requires no electricity, no heat input, and no rare earth minerals. Safe for general freight shipping including air transport, with rechargeable byproduct.
• Hydrogen Production Units (HPUs) Full hydrogen-on-demand systems that deliver hydrogen at the point of use. Modular and scalable ranging from mobile, portable units to industrial-scale installations. Enables on-site hydrogen generation for power generation, transportation, industrial processes, hydrogen fueling stations, and backup power.
• Hydrogen-on-Demand (H2oD) Technology Proprietary hydrogen-on-demand system combining specially designed fuel pellets (made from industrial byproducts) with water to release hydrogen gas for immediate use. Leaves behind benign byproduct that can be recharged into fuel pellets, reused, or safely disposed. Designed for defense, industrial, mobility, and remote power applications.
