Here's a possible suggestion:

Israeli energy start-up turns traffic into source of electricity <br><br> - Haaretz - Israel News

It's an Israeli firm that is intending to put piezoelectric cells under highways to generate electricity every time a car/truck passes over. I guess the restriction for aircraft landing is the technology has to deal with the weight/pressure and according to this article it needs a constant stream of vehicles on the highway. But still perhaps you could use it on the taxi-ways where there is more traffic?

Best Regards,
