Airgas and Nuvera Announce Marketing Agreement
Airgas and Nuvera Announce Marketing Agreement to Provide Hydrogen to Power Fuel Cell Material Handling Equipment
PowerTap is a hydrogen generator and hydrogen station, part of the Nuvera Total Power Solution that includes PowerEdge™, a fuel cell hybrid system that replaces standard lead acid batteries in material handling equipment such as forklift trucks. The PowerTap generator uses steam reformation technology to produce hydrogen from natural gas.
“We’re very happy to be partnering with Nuvera to deliver all the benefits of on-site hydrogen generation to customers with warehouses and forklifts,” said Peter McCausland, Airgas chairman and chief executive officer. “For customers who want to increase productivity while reducing their environmental impact, this sustainable technology lowers CO2 emissions while eliminating more costly, resource-intense battery installations and disposal. By combining Nuvera’s technology and manufacturing expertise with Airgas’ nationwide distribution capability, we’re able to provide the lowest total cost energy solution for these customers.”
According to McCausland, Airgas will provide lease and maintenance programs for PowerTap systems so customers can avoid the upfront capital cost associated with purchasing the equipment.
