American Power Group identifies dual-fuel (gas and alternative) power supply opportunities to serve AI data centers and grid bridging applications.

Diversified fuel sourcing for data center power could accelerate deployment timelines in regions with restricted natural gas expansion or high carbon constraints.

American Power Group Corporation ("APG") (OTC Pink: APGI), the leading U.S.-based dual fuel diesel engine conversion technology company, is identifying significant opportunities for its dual fuel solution to address the growing imbalance between available electrical capacity and surging electricity demand across multiple sectors.

The U.S. stationary generator sales market exceeds $25 billion, with major growth projected in data centers, distributed energy, and mobile prime power applications. Electrical demand is outpacing supply across North America, with an estimated U.S. generation shortfall approaching 100 gigawatts by 2030. Large energy consumers are considering gas turbines, nuclear power, and mobile generators to meet demand, but long critical equipment lead times present a serious impediment to timely implementation. APG's cost-effective, proven dual fuel solution can serve as a "bridge to grid" solution, enabling rapid deployment and expansion while reducing the time and cost associated with long-term infrastructure upgrades.

"The proven reliability and ease of operation of our cost-effective dual fuel diesel engine conversion technology provides an immediately available solution to meet these power demands," said Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO and CFO. "Our stationary and off-road dual fuel installation base has exceeded 1,500 units since 2010 and surpassed an estimated 25 million cumulative run hours in high-horsepower applications. One particular installation has run successfully for over 15 years, which is especially critical for AI data center applications."

Tod Hynes, Senior Advisor to the Company and CEO and Co-Founder of AI company Maigent, highlighted APG's role in distributed AI infrastructure. "There is a real, defensible niche for APG in the AI buildout that aligns tightly with the local-AI thesis: put distributed compute for inference in existing buildings where spare grid capacity already exists," Hynes said. "Combining energy storage and a dual-fuel genset provides the redundancy needed for AI, and APG's platform is proven at exactly the relevant scale. AI compute growth is gated by power, not chips, with utility interconnections running 24 to 48 months. A local AI approach reduces the need for building new infrastructure and accelerates the speed to power and compute."

APG provides cost-effective alternative fueling solutions for diesel engines to reduce methane emissions and support a low-carbon future. The company's dual fuel conversion technology is a patented hardware and software solution that enables high-horsepower diesel engines to displace up to 65 percent of diesel fuel with natural gas. Engines equipped with this technology can use renewable natural gas (RNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), captured flare-stack methane, and conditioned wellhead gas, resulting in lower cost, lower carbon, and reduced criteria pollutant emissions. The technology remains fully compatible with eligible biodiesel blends and renewable diesel fuels, further reducing a diesel engine's carbon footprint while providing users with proven, regulatory-compliant technology.
