Element 1 Corp. (e1), an Oregon-based leader in methanol-to-hydrogen generation technology, has 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.

This collaboration aims to bring reliable, scalable, and cleaner energy solutions to a new Taiwanese data center project, leveraging Aurosi’s robust manufacturing capabilities and e1’s proven technology. The Parties plan to initiate the project by June 30, 2026, and will work toward finalizing a definitive supply agreement covering technical specifications, purchase orders, and after-sales service shortly thereafter.

“Our methanol-to-hydrogen technology is uniquely positioned to support dependable, low-emission, fuel-cell generated power for mission-critical applications like data centers,” said Dave Edlund, CEO of Element 1 Corp. “We are pleased to partner with Aurosi Precision as they advance sustainable power infrastructure in Taiwan. Together, we expect to deliver a grid independent power solution that is both innovative and practical for real-world deployment.”
