Edge infrastructure firm Armada and Houston-based hydrogen developer Eclipse Energy have partnered to integrate clean hydrogen production with modular data center deployments.

The agreement aims to develop scalable, off-grid computing infrastructure powered by low-carbon energy sources.

“The demand for power in the data center sector has never been greater,” said Prabhdeep Sekhon, CEO of Eclipse Energy. “By bringing our innovative subsurface solutions into partnership with Armada, we are addressing both the urgent need for clean, reliable power and the imperative to build with sustainability in mind.”

Armada's flagship offerings are its Galleon Modular Data Centers, which focus on delivering compute, storage, and AI capabilities in remote or industrial settings. The company said that, by pairing its modular systems with Eclipse’s clean hydrogen production, it can enable carbon-aware, self-sufficient data centers that operate independent of traditional grid infrastructure.

“Eclipse Energy’s bioconversion of legacy oil fields into clean hydrogen is a natural complement to Armada’s Galleon Modular Data Centers,” said Dan Wright, Armada’s CEO and co-founder. “Together, we can prove that scalable performance and sustainable energy can go hand in hand.”

Eclipse Energy, formerly known as Gold H2, has developed a biotechnology process that stimulates hydrogen generation in depleted oil fields without the need for additional drilling or energy-intensive surface facilities.

The company recently completed what it described as the first successful field trial of subsurface biostimulated hydrogen production, which it claims will pave the way for low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen using existing infrastructure.

Armada is a developer of containerized Edge data centers. It recently expanded into the AI data center space, launching an AI data center offering dubbed Leviathan in July of this year.

So far in 2025, Armada has deployed its Edge containerized data centers with Tampnet for offshore oil rigs, the US Navy in South Carolina, Aramco in Saudi Arabia, and Newlab in Detroit and Riyadh.

In July 2024, Microsoft's M12 led another funding round for Armada, which raised $40 million. At the time, the company said this brought its total funding to more than $100 million.
