The parent company of data center firm Edged has launched a hydrogen production division and offering.

Endeavour this month announced the launch of Pact Systems, a scalable hydrogen and solid-carbon co-production technology that can operate on natural gas or biomethane feedstocks.

Pact is a continuous-flow, closed-loop methane cracking system that co-produces hydrogen fuel and high-quality graphite. Based on proprietary technology, the system passes methane through a low-temperature catalytic reactor that separates the hydrogen component and immediately sequesters the remaining gaseous carbon by converting it into solid graphite.

“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.”

Ebner is Endeavour’s manufacturing partner on the offering. The German family-owned company specializes in heat treatment facilities for the semi-finished metal products industry. Pact systems are exclusively available through Edged Infrastructure.

“This is an important milestone for the hydrogen industry,” said Herbert Gabriel, managing director of Enber. “The Pact system dramatically reduces the environmental footprint of conventional fossil-based hydrogen and overcomes the scalability challenges of electrolysis-based systems.”

Endeavour said Pact creates revenue-generating opportunities, as the graphite can be offered to other partners for use in sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing.

“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,” added the system’s inventor and Pact chief technology officer, Juzer Jangbarwala.

Endeavour was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark. Its Edged unit has data centers either operating or in development in Bilbao, Madrid, and Barcelona in Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and across the US, including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.

Endeavour has a number of power and cooling-related ventures supporting data centers as well as electric vehicles.

Endeavour’s ThermalWorks waterless cooling system can reportedly support rack densities of up to 70kW with air cooling and 200kW with liquid cooling. The company also has partnerships or investments in batteries in partnership with Tiamat, EV infrastructure, water, and energy.

Endeavour partnered with manufacturing firm Jabil last year to deliver “modular, just-in-time (JIT) AI-ready infrastructure.”

Last month, the company launched a new power division called TurboCell, offering a modular multi-fuel power system that could replace generators and/or fuel cells.
