Many people may not be aware of Nuvera’s expertise in developing on-site hydrogen generation gas stations, called PowerTap^TM, which were developed in response to the specific need of finding a low-cost source of hydrogen fuel for our fuel cell forklift product.

The pace of our fuel cell development has been accelerating. The abundance of PEM fuel cell test stands and fuel cell product development activities inside Nuvera has created an ever increasing demand for pure hydrogen gas at our facility. Nuvera takes pride in using our own products for our internal use, and PowerTap is no different.

Once transitioned to our new Billerica facility, we have been supplying all of our fuel cell test stations and product development hydrogen gas needs via PowerTap, and are poised to be self sustaining this year!
