On-demand hydrogen generation to support growing demand for cleaner onboard power in the yacht sector   BEND, Oregon, 15 April 2026 – e1 Marine, a leading developer of advanced hydrogen generation technology for the maritime and port sectors, has announced a further commercial project in the marine leisure and superyacht market, supplying methanol-to-hydrogen reformer technology to support PowerCell Group’s M2Power 250 system onboard a large yacht. The installation, rated at 0.5 MW, is part of a retrofit program, with delivery planned for 2027.   The announcement forms part of PowerCell’s 43 MSEK order for the M2Power 250 methanol-to-power platform from a European shipyard. Each 250 kW module integrates e1 Marine’s M30 methanol-to-hydrogen reformer with PowerCell’s marine fuel cells to generate hydrogen on demand for clean electrical power. Designed to replace traditional marine diesel gensets, the integration eliminates the need for compressed hydrogen storage while enabling quiet, low-emission operation. M2Power 250 system   Dave Lee, Executive Director, e1 Marine, commented:  “ This project represents an important milestone for e1 Marine, building on our earlier collaboration with PowerCell and marking our second commercial project supporting the marine leisure and superyacht markets. Larger yacht builders are increasingly looking for practical ways to cut emissions and improve onboard environmental performance without compromising reliability, range, or sailing experience. On-demand hydrogen generation from methanol provides a compelling pathway to do just that, and we’re pleased to collaborate with PowerCell to provide the yachting sector with greater choice of high-performance, lower-emission energy options.”   The project builds on the ongoing collaboration between e1 Marine and PowerCell to deliver fully integrated reformer-fuel-cell solutions for maritime applications through the M2Power 250 system. Within this, e1 Marine’s technology generates fuel cell-grade hydrogen (≥99.97% purity, ISO 14687 compliant) onboard from a methanol-and-water feedstock blend for direct use in fuel cells, producing only water and heat as by-products, with the latter offering potential for recovery and onboard use where appropriate.   Based on third-party lifecycle assessments, e1 Marine’s methanol-to-hydrogen systems can deliver significant greenhouse-gas emission reductions compared with conventional marine diesel – from 10-27% with grey methanol to as much as 85% using green methanol – alongside reductions of more than 99% in regulated local air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, particulate matter, CO and hydrocarbons.   Richard Berkling, CEO, PowerCell Group, said:   “The order confirms market interest in our methanol-to-power platform. The M2Power 250 offers shipowners a practical way to reduce emissions in existing vessels and supports the accelerating shift toward cleaner auxiliary and propulsion power.”   e1 Marine’s methanol-to-hydrogen systems are designed to generate hydrogen onboard and on demand, making them well-suited to larger yachts and leisure vessels seeking flexible, lower-emission solutions that integrate within existing fuel and storage arrangements. Because methanol is a liquid at ambient conditions and increasingly available as a marine fuel, it enables the benefits of hydrogen fuel-cell power without relying on dedicated hydrogen bunkering or high-pressure storage. The same technology can also support applications across workboats and short-sea vessels under 2,000 GT, port and terminal equipment, and as a containerized, grid-independent source of clean energy for ports and yards.   Lee added : “ One of the key strengths of methanol-to-hydrogen reforming is its versatility. This project shows how the technology can meet the specific operational and experience-driven demands of larger yachts today, while also offering a scalable pathway that can support other maritime segments as decarbonization progresses .”

It can be delivered on-site, onboard, and on demand, providing an immediately viable pathway to green energy. READ MORE Hydrogen Fuel Challenges As a liquid or compressed gas, hydrogen fuel has always been challenging and expensive to transport and bunker. The bulky hydrogen tanks required to provide adequate safety measures and range would compromise that vessel's cargo volume. Moreover, high-pressure tanks built from exotic materials are expensive to manufacture and maintain, and they have a short lifespan. Methanol and e1 Marine technology Methanol is a game-changer for Hydrogen generation – due to its ready availability, low cost, Hydrogen density, environmental friendliness, and ease of transport and storage. Methanol is simple to access, store, and transport. As a highly efficient fuel, it provides a clear pathway to a future of carbon-neutral transport via bio-methanol and e-methanol. When we combine Methanol with water, we significantly increase the available hydrogen content. We process this combined feedstock through our reformation process and patented purification technology to produce fuel cell grade Hydrogen with >99.99 purity. There is no need for specialized high-pressure storage tanks – we produce just the right amount of hydrogen at the time of need and feed it via our buffer tanks directly into a Fuel Cell. This can be done when and where it’s needed: at the port or onboard. Once running, the hydrogen generator creates its own heat energy, and when paired with a PEM fuel cell, can produce clean, efficient, and reliable electrical power, scalable to multi-megawatts.

Unlike with hydrogen, there’s no need for high-pressure transport or storage. Hydrogen-rich Highly efficient with the highest hydrogen to carbon ratio of liquid fuels. Eco-friendly Providing a pathway to carbon-neutral compliance with bio-methanol. Accessible As an approved fuel type, it is immediately and readily available worldwide in more than 120 ports and counting. High performing Methanol’s high hydrogen fuel density solves the challenges of limited range. Methanol enriched with water has up to six times the energy density of compressed hydrogen. Increasing in Supply Increasing global capacity is forecast to increase from ~146 mtpa in 2025 to 309 mtpa in 2030. Easily Integrated No specialist tanks are required, allowing for low conversion costs and liquid fuel storage onboard. Economical Offers a low-cost source of hydrogen using e1 Marine technology. How e1 Marine produces hydrogen on demand & on the go The process begins by mixing water with methanol to create the feedstock. This feedstock is pumped into a heat exchanger to cool the product hydrogen, preheat the feedstock, and obtain optimal thermal efficiency for the generator. The pre-heated feedstock then flows into the reactor ‘hot box’, where it is converted into a vapor. It is then directed into a catalytic reactor to convert the feedstock into a syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. The final step is hydrogen purification using e1 Marine’s proprietary membrane purifier, the heart of the system, and a process that separates the hydrogen from the other particles in the syngas. The membrane-based purification module is at the core of e1 Marine’s protected intellectual property and represents a significant advancement in scalable, reliable, and affordable hydrogen purification. The fuel-grade hydrogen output meets all relevant ISO standards, making it ideal for use with fuel cells to generate electricity. The small amount of remaining hydrogen-depleted gas from the purifier is directed back to the reactor and combusted to generate the heat for the steam reforming reaction. No additional or supplementary fuel is required to generate heat for the reaction. Exhaust from the raffinate combustion is sent to the atmosphere, and the only new emissions produced by the hydrogen generator are carbon dioxide and water vapor. System efficiency of up to 84% can be achieved by the e1 Marine Hydrogen Generator. The process is robust in design with very few moving parts, requires minimal maintenance, and offers outstanding longevity.
