Propel Aero

Propel Aero is developing a “Redox Engine” with the potential to deliver a large reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for different modes of transportation. The Redox Engine would provide considerable power performance and deliver the energy density required to meet the demands of electric aircraft. The cost of electricity for the technology would be comparable to jet fuel. Given the low cost and high specific energy, the Redox Engine can address electrification of shipping and trains as well.

Propel Aero’s design would address the electrification of aviation, shipping, rail, as well as long-haul trucking and could be applicable for stationary storage solutions too. The first phase of the project will focus on a lab-scale demonstration as the initial step in de-risking the technology, and the second phase will pursue scaling up and experimental testing of the operation of the technology.
