Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC, an established leader in the development of high-performance, zero-emission fuel cell products, has received another order for an E-Series Fuel Cell Engine from DEVINN, a systems integrator and product development company based in the Czech Republic. DEVINN provides power solutions for both motive and stationary applications and will use this second engine order for a stationary customer project that will pair Nuvera’s fuel cell technology with an onsite electrolyzer to produce clean electricity and feed it into the grid. This sale is for the proof-of-concept phase of a larger project that aims to scale up green H₂ production and electricity generation.

DEVINN will install the fuel cell in the new generation of its H2BASE generator, which the company introduced in 2020. Since then, its mobile version has been supplying clean energy, especially to outdoor events in the Czech Republic and abroad.

“With an imminent rise in H₂ production capacity in Europe over the next several years, this project in collaboration with DEVINN marks a key milestone for Nuvera as part of the emission-free onsite power generation market in Europe,” said Santiago Bresani, Nuvera’s sales and business development leader in Europe. “This latest order for Nuvera’s fuel cell engine exemplified our sustained trust relationship with DEVINN and solidifies Nuvera’s strategy to deploy our proven technology through partnerships with experienced integrators across various applications.”

DEVINN previously used a Nuvera E-60 engine to power its H2BOT semi-autonomous battery electric vehicle charging unit in 2022. With funding from the European Union, Nuvera provided DEVINN with a zero-emission option for a mobile, independent source of electrical power.

The H2BOT system is engineered for use in public parking lots, as an alternative to static charging points and provides independence from the electric grid. It is currently being demonstrated at several customer sites. During operation in 2023, H2BOT has already successfully transferred over 6 MWhr of electrical energy to EVs.
