VIVIFY Technology Signs Letter Of Intent To Serve As Primary Hydrogen Energy Infrastructure Provider For ELISIUM, A Planned Cognitive City In Hendry County, Florida

Published by Todd Bush on October 20, 2026

The parties intend to design hydrogen power into the Hendry County development's master plan before horizontal construction begins and to scale it with each phase of the build-out

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VIVIFY Technology, a Florida-based hydrogen energy company, today announced it has signed a letter of intent with ELISIUM, LLC, the master developer of ELISIUM, a planned cognitive city in Hendry County, Florida. Under the letter of intent, ELISIUM has selected VIVIFY as the primary hydrogen energy infrastructure provider for the development, subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.

Most large developments plan the buildings first and ask the grid for power later. ELISIUM intends to reverse that order. Under the letter of intent, VIVIFY is expected to take part in the development's master planning from the outset, identifying generation sites, distribution corridors, equipment footprints, and water supply requirements before horizontal construction begins.

Subject to definitive agreements, permitting, and regulatory requirements, VIVIFY intends to design, deploy, and commission hydrogen energy infrastructure within ELISIUM, beginning with first-phase capacity that may include construction power and initial civic and commercial facilities. Capacity is intended to scale by adding modules as each phase comes online. Deployments may be configured behind the meter, as an islanded microgrid, or in coordination with the local electric utility, depending on site conditions and applicable law. VIVIFY also intends to provide ongoing operations and maintenance support and to work with ELISIUM on an energy infrastructure roadmap matched to the development's phasing schedule.

The collaboration is expected to draw on the full VIVIFY Arsenal. The Hydrogen Oxygen Generator™ (HOG™) is VIVIFY's flagship hydrogen energy platform. The Flying Pig™ is its containerized configuration, engineered for modular deployment and designed to scale one container at a time. The two companies also intend to evaluate VIVIFY's Clean Air Technology™ emissions control system for any solid-waste processing or waste-to-energy facility within the development.

"A city designed to think cannot wait on a grid that was designed for the last century. ELISIUM made a decision most developers never get the chance to make: put the power in the plan before the first road is poured. That is exactly where hydrogen belongs," said Jason Herring, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of VIVIFY Technology. "We are engineering our platforms to scale with demand. ELISIUM plans to grow phase by phase, and our goal is for the power to grow with it."

ELISIUM, LLC has stated that it currently anticipates groundbreaking within approximately 18 to 24 months, with first energy infrastructure requirements expected about six months after groundbreaking. The development remains subject to zoning, entitlement approvals, and to financing.

The parties intend that any arrangement under the collaboration be structured to comply with applicable Florida law and regulation, including regulation by the Florida Public Service Commission. The letter of intent is non-binding with respect to the collaboration, and the parties intend to negotiate definitive agreements governing its terms. The letter of intent does not establish pricing, capacity, or exclusivity, does not commit either party to purchase or deploy equipment, and may be terminated by either party.
