I recently posted several additional items to Nuvera’s Technical Papers page. The items all relate to the advancements Nuvera has made over the past three years in regards to onboard fuel processing for automotive applications.
Periodically we ask Nuvera’s employees what they do to promote a greener tomorrow…besides working at a fuel cell company!

Michael Leschiner, James Cross and Darryl Pollica presented at the DOE 2007 Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation in Washington DC on May 15-18, 2008. The Annual Merit Review gives principal researchers an opportunity to present the status and results of their projects that are funded by DOE’s Hydrogen Program. Michael, James and Darryl presented a poster on Nuvera’s Cost-effective High efficiency Advanced Reformer Module (CHARM) project, which you can view below (click on the image to enlarge).
Some of the major findings were:
Additionally, James Cross presented an update on “Subfreezing Start/Stop Protocol for an Advanced Metallic Open-Flowfield Fuel Cell Stack.”
Kevin Beverage, Lead Process Engineer at Nuvera, was one of five winners of the MassRIDES Bike to Work Week challenge! The challenge took place from May 12th through May 16th, and promoted bicycling as a viable commuting option. Bicyclists were asked to log their daily miles, which were then compared to commuters across the state for the title of “Most Miles” and “Longest Commute.”
Kevin won the “Longest Commute” division, logging 32 miles on a one way trip. Congratulations Kevin!
Jim Rubright of East Penn Manufacturing sat down with DC Velocity’s James Cooke to talk about fuel cells, expanding their Deka battery product line and running “crisp.” The article, in this month’s DC Velocity, covers the rigorous testing that East Penn is conducting on its ReadyPower unit, co-developed with Nuvera, at their 180,000 square foot distribution center. Cooke’s grasp of the overall picture of the fuel cell material handling market is quite solid, and he gives a good overview of East Penn and Nuvera’s stake in the game. The only slip up? The PowerTap hydrogen refueler used at the Topton Distribution Center dispenses gaseous hydrogen, not liquid as he indicates.
