Jules Billiet, CEO“Our goal is to make hydrogen a reliable, everyday energy solution for operators, without compromising performance or efficiency,” says Jules Billiet, CEO, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Solutions at INOCEL.
INOCEL combines cutting-edge technology, operational expertise, and infrastructure support in a unified ecosystem. This integrated approach guides customers through every stage of the hydrogen transition, from planning & financial optimization to project execution and long-term services. By eliminating common barriers to adoption, INOCEL helps operators meet emissions regulations, reduce risk, and scale solutions to address both current and future energy demands.
Practical Solutions for Real-World Challenges
INOCEL leverages its full-value-chain expertise to deliver turnkey, sector-specific hydrogen solutions that make adoption practical across stationary power generation, shipping, and heavy transport. Customers benefit from complete, fully decarbonized modular and scalable systems, from 300 kVA to several megawatts, engineered for day-one operation. The company offers specialized solutions tailored to industry needs.
Driven by strong market growth expectations fueled by the increasing demand for electrification and decarbonization incentives, the stationary and mobile power markets are projected to experience rapid expansion. INOCEL solutions address several power generation needs:
1. The GEN-Z portfolio starting at 300 kVA is an ideal all-in-one containerized solution for mobile or remote applications such as construction sites, events, and similar locations, where a few hundred kilowatt of power are required in a modular, containerized format.
2. Large Infrastructure: The same system is scalable up to tens of megawatts through modular, plug-and-play integration of multiple fuel cell units. This scalability allows flexible power deployment for energy-intensive sites currently lacking reliable grid access such as ports, data centers and the integration of smart grid services.
The same fuel cell technology is being derived to cover marine and heavy mobility applications: Beyond the need for propulsion on these two market segments, it will also provide power to hotel loads on largest vessels engineered to withstand harsh conditions while meeting certifications standards.
Central to these solutions are INOCEL’s Z300 fuel cell stacks, which combine durability, fast response, and long service life. Backed by over 25 years of research, 10 patents, and rigorous in-house testing at Belfort and headquarters, they provide cost-effective alternatives to diesel in demanding environments. Advanced embedded software supports real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, intelligent electrochemical control, and over-the-air updates, keeping systems efficient, reliable, and adaptable.
Across all offerings, INOCEL ensures high power density, rapid ramp-up, and efficiency exceeding 60 per cent, supporting operational continuity and overall cost-effectiveness.
Guidance across the Value Chain
Fuel cells alone are not enough. Customers need clarity on hydrogen production, logistics, storage, and grid integration. By partnering across the entire value chain, INOCEL helps clients secure hydrogen production through electrolysis, methanol reforming, or ammonia cracking, and offers storage solutions in gas, liquid, or solid form. This one-stop approach builds trust, ensuring customers are not left to face infrastructure challenges on their own and making the transition to hydrogen practical and achievable.

Our goal is to make hydrogen a reliable, everyday energy solution for operators, without compromising performance or efficiency
While INOCEL’s technology is advanced, what truly sets the company apart is its commitment to listening. Every new system incorporates direct feedback from operators. Stationary power operators demanded solutions scalable to tens of megawatts without unnecessary complexity. Marine customers required equipment that could withstand saltwater and meet certification standards. Heavy-duty transport clients needed rugged systems that could endure vibration and continuous use.
The result is three distinct models: the Z300-M for marine, the Z300-G for ground mobility, and the Z300-S for stationary applications. Each is engineered for its environment.
Embedded software demonstrates INOCEL’s responsiveness, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and over-the-air updates. These features reduce downtime, control costs, and update systems without hardware changes.
“Loyalty comes from walking alongside clients on their journey. Every decision we make is anchored in making their adoption of hydrogen technology practical, reliable, and beneficial,” adds Billiet.
Proof in Practice
The strongest evidence of customer loyalty is not found in technical specifications, but in real-world outcomes. A recent project in the UK demonstrates how INOCEL’s approach delivers results on the ground. Construction sites faced strict carbon regulations and looming taxes on diesel emissions. Urban locations also imposed noise restrictions, limiting when work could take place. Operators needed a solution that ensured compliance without disrupting project timelines.
INOCEL supplied hydrogen-powered generators that addressed all three challenges. By eliminating carbon emissions, clients avoided penalties and met regulatory standards. Noise levels were cut by more than half compared to diesel engines, easing restrictions and improving relations with local communities. Most importantly, the generators provided uninterrupted power for critical equipment, keeping projects on track.
Customers’ benefits included financial savings, smoother operations, and stronger reputations with regulators and communities. These results reinforced confidence that switching to hydrogen delivers immediate, measurable value.
Building Confidence in Hydrogen, One Customer at a Time
Hydrogen infrastructure is still evolving, and uncertainty remains over global standards and supply logistics. Rather than wait for clarity, INOCEL is helping customers prepare today. Its modular systems scale from 300 kVA to multi-megawatt solutions, providing flexibility as needs grow. Partnerships with global energy firms secure supply chains and support deployment across markets.
The future of hydrogen adoption will not be decided in laboratories alone. It will depend on how effectively companies help customers overcome obstacles, seize opportunities, and trust that new systems will deliver. INOCEL’s story makes this clear. By putting customers at the centre of its innovation, it is building long-term confidence in a cleaner way forward.
