Endeavour, an infrastructure innovation company, has introduced Pact, a scalable hydrogen and solid-carbon co-production technology that enables affordable, continuous, clean power for AI data centers and other heavy industry. The revolutionary carbon-neutral energy system operates on natural gas and biomethane feedstocks and is cost-competitive with conventional fossil fuel sources. Pact separates hydrogen from the feedstock while sequestering carbon into pure graphite, creating a revenue-generating platform for advanced materials.

Why it matters

AI cloud providers require gigawatt-scale, 24/7 clean energy generation to meet the growing power demands of their data centers. Pact fills a critical gap by providing a low-carbon, scalable energy solution that can be rapidly deployed to power the infrastructure needed for the AI economy.

The details

Pact is a continuous-flow, closed-loop methane cracking system that co-produces hydrogen fuel and high-quality graphite. The system passes methane through a low-temperature, energy-efficient catalytic reactor that separates the hydrogen component and immediately sequesters the remaining carbon as solid graphite. The resulting hydrogen has a lower direct lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint than electrolysis-based "green" hydrogen.

  • Pact has been rigorously tested with manufacturing partner EBNER at their U.S. headquarters in Wadsworth, Ohio.
  • Pact is now available exclusively through Endeavour's Edged Infrastructure platform.

What they’re saying

“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.”

— Jakob Carnemark, CEO and Founder of Endeavour

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

— Herbert Gabriel, Managing Director of EBNER

“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.”

— Juzer Jangbarwala, Pact Chief Technology Officer

What’s next

Pact is now available exclusively through Endeavour's Edged Infrastructure platform, with plans to scale the technology to support generator systems ranging from 5 MW to more than 1,000 MW.

The takeaway

Pact represents a breakthrough in providing affordable, scalable, and carbon-neutral energy to power the growing demands of the AI economy, while also creating new revenue streams through the production of high-value graphite and other carbon materials.
