On March 18, 2015, Nuvera demonstrated the ability of its PowerTap® on-site hydrogen generator to use renewable natural gas. Using methane captured from cow manure and water, PowerTap generated high-purity hydrogen.

Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts are not just an economical fit for mega-warehouses with fleets of 100 trucks or more. Nuvera’s on-site hydrogen generator is helping fuel cell power make sense for modest-sized fleets as well. For example, a Nuvera hydrogen-supplied fleet was able to switch to fuel cells with only seven reach trucks and 10 pallet jacks that consume about 25 kg of hydrogen in 24 hours. The daily cost savings achieved with a hydrogen-powered fleet easily justified the investment.

This year’s leading themes at Germany’s influential innovation and technology trade fair focus on topics in Green Tech, Mobility and Energy that are of pivotal importance now.

Government purchasing agents, fleet managers and warehouse operators gained insights from prominent hydrogen and fuel cell experts at Hannover Fair 2014. Here, at the world’s largest showcase for industrial innovation, hydrogen solutions (already in use by leading industrial and commercial fleets) were presented to significantly reduce carbon footprints, fleet downtime, and energy/fueling costs. Nuvera, a provider of hydrogen generation and refueling systems, is featured in the fair’s “Energy Products & Innovations” highlights: http://www.hannovermesse.de/en/press-service/press-releases/pressreleases-deutsche-messe/index.xhtml?id=649281&lang=GB&page=1&page_size=20&bereich=632391&unterbereich=0
