Organisation Description

Nuvera Fuel Cells (Italy/USA) was formed in April 2000 from a merger between De Nora Fuel Cells and Epyx. De Nora Fuel Cells was at the forefront of fuel cell development in Italy for many years; working on bus and car concepts with international partners such as AirLiquide, CEA, Renault etc. Nuvera Fuel Cells is now part of the De Nora Group. Working on PEM fuel cells, the company manufactures stacks and fuel processors for residential and automotive applications (1kW-75kW+). Nuvera is designing and manufacturing 5 kW units that can provide primary and/or auxiliary backup power to residential homes. These units are being developed and tested for manufacturers of home power generators and backup power equipment. Nuvera has distribution and joint-venture agreements with Best Water Technology, Mitsui, RWE and Verizon Communications. Additionally, the company is developing a 4kW natural gas system (branded the Avanti). Nuvera also revealed that it is planning to integrate a PEMFC with a small turbine, producing an innovative cogen product, branded the DuAlto. Field tests of prototypes are expected from 2005. Nuvera is also working on PEM fuel cells to power vehicles. Together with Fiat, the company has presented two PEM fuel cell cars in 2003. Other activities include the development of a 7KW PEM stack with Fiamm for material handling vehicles (forklift trucks, etc.); the participation in the Milan-Bicocca Project with Ansaldo, BMW, ENEA, SOL and others; and an agreement with Total to optimise hydrocarbon fuels for PEM fuel cells.
