The CPG-150kW: Containerized Power Charging Solution
Portable grid-independent electricity generation for airport operations
e1 Air’s advanced Methanol-to-Hydrogen generation technology integrated with fuel cell power creates a clean, reliable, and affordable solution to produce electrical power on-site, on-demand, reducing emissions while charging your electric GSE fleet.
Each charging station can require MWs of electrical power, making building out the BEV charging infrastructure expensive and challenging in both urban and remote locations.
e1 Air’s technology provides a safe, reliable, and economical solution to this challenge. Its scalable Hydrogen generation technology provides the required Hydrogen for on-site fuel cell electricity generation and distribution.
Charging Applications Targeted:
-
Airport eGSE (electric ground support equipment)
-
Airport electric Support Vehicles (shuttle busses, hanger & cargo building forklifts).
-
Rental EV cars and passenger automobiles
-
Emergency power (backup power) to supplement airport micro-grids
-
Electric aircraft (eCTOL - conventional takeoff and landing) and eVTOL (vertical takeoff and landing)
Power Generators - off-grid, on-demand power for maximum flexibility

Economically viable & feasible power solution
Methanol: The Missing link to clean fuel cell power adoption
e1 Air CPG units provide clean “Firm” power linking the benefits of Methanol and fuel cell power. Our Methanol-to-Hydrogen-to-Power generator products are simple, robust, and cost-effective. They produce electricity anywhere you need it, in real-time, as required by your battery electric fleet.
Problem: Hydrogen as a gas or liquid is challenging and expensive to deliver and store.
These challenges mean airport operators face significant economic, technical, logistical, and endurance hurdles to introducing Hydrogen and fuel cell power technology charging solutions to their fleets.
Methanol is the “Missing Link” as it is an excellent Hydrogen carrier. Methanol contains more Hydrogen in a cubic meter than in a cubic meter of liquid Hydrogen with superior economics.
