Nuvera PEM
(1 – 50 kW)

Nuvera Fuel Cells, Inc. was formed in April 2000 when Epyx Corporation (a former subsidiary of Arthur D. Little, Inc.) merged with De Nora Fuel Cells S.p.A. (a former subsidiary of Gruppo De Nora). At the time of the merger, a minority share in Nuvera was sold to Amerada Hess Corporation, a leading U.S. East Coast provider of fuel oil, natural gas, and electricity to industrial and commercial customers.

Nuvera combines the proven technology leadership of two well-established global firms. Epyx' technology enables the conversion of gasoline and other commonly available hydrocarbon fuels into hydrogen to produce electricity. Since 1992, Epyx, working alongside the U.S. Department of Energy, has consistently demonstrated its expertise in creating novel fuel processors in power capacities ranging from 300 watts to 200 kilowatts. These fuel processors are capable of generating enough electricity to power everything from an automobile to a home or small commercial building.

De Nora Fuel Cells, in combination with Gruppo De Nora – its parent organization and a world leader in electrochemical engineering and membrane technologies – has delivered more than 310 fuel cell stacks to customers around the world in the stationary and transportation markets since 1993. The fuel cell stacks utilize the hydrogen created by the Epyx' fuel processors to generate clean, efficient energy. Together, as Nuvera, the entities offer a unique combination of proprietary technology, industry know-how, and global reach.

At Nuvera, we call this market the stationary market – defined by the power range (1 to 50 kW) for small-scale fuel cell applications. Within this market, we are developing key enabling technologies for premium/portable, residential, and commercial applications that provide "deployable power – anywhere, anytime" – allowing users to access energy where they want it, when they need it the most.
