Forza is Nuvera's product family of large-scale hydrogen power systems. It is a scalable base-load system that converts excess hydrogen disbursed from chemical processing plants into DC electricity. The electricity can then be used in the same facility in a Nuvera patented "closed-loop" fashion, to lower energy costs. This modular system has multi-megawatt capabilities and produces 100 % pollution free electricity in parallel to the existing electric DC circuit.

Nuvera and its technology and marketing partner, Uhdenora SpA ( http://www.uhdenora.com ), a worldwide leader in the design and implementation of industrial electrochemical plants, have developed Forza for the global chemical processing industry.

"This installation of Forza will be the second validation test of the unit operating under real world conditions and on by-product hydrogen from a chemical processing plant," commented Prashant Chintawar, Executive Director of Marketing for Nuvera Fuel Cells. "The completion of this project will be a major step towards Forza's commercial use in the chemical process industry."

The IWHUP is a multi-faceted, synergistic collaboration that will capture waste hydrogen and promote its use through the demonstration of infrastructure and applications. The project will run through 2008. For more information log on to http://www.sacre-davey.com .
