BEND, Ore.--Element 1® Corp. (“e1”), an Oregon-based leader in methanol-to-hydrogen generation technology, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Aurosi Precision Co., Ltd. (“Aurosi”), a Taiwan-based manufacturer specializing in battery energy storage systems and hydrogen-powered product development. The agreement outlines a collaboration to support a major off-grid data center power project in Taiwan.
Under the MOU, Aurosi intends to procure e1 Containerized Power Generators (CPG) and Containerized Hydrogen Generators (CHG) to meet the project’s requirements, which include providing up to 2 MW of methanol-based PEM fuel cell power as part of a planned 5 MW off-grid power system. Element 1 will also supply targeted engineering support throughout the project’s planning phase.
