Nuvera Fuel Cells

Nuvera Fuel Cells

Nuvera’s Forza™ industrial power module was recently on display during the GLOBE 2008 conference in Vancouver, BC.
The biennial conference lasted 3 days, March 12th-14th, and was attended by thousands of the world’s leaders in politics, business and the environmental industry.

Tours of the Nuvera system were offered by our partner, Sacré-Davey Innovations.

The Forza system has been installed at the Easywash car wash since August, 2007 as part of the Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP). The 150 kW gross power fuel cell system delivers hot water to the car wash while providing enough electricity to run the Easywash facility and pushing excess energy created onto the electrical grid. Nuvera has been very fortunate to be involved with Sacré-Davey and the ‘Hydrogen Highway’ Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP).

Nuvera completed construction and testing of a high powered Forza Industrial Power System last night. The Phase 2 system outperformed its specified power rating of 150 kW by producing 168 kW of power.

Our CEO, Roberto Cordaro, was on hand to initiate the startup.

This was the first time this amount of power was produced at our new facility, and required the use of our largest on-site load bank, pictured above.
