Nuvera Fuel Cells and HELINOR Energy collaborate on developing scalable zero-emission energy solutions for maritime applications
Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC, a provider of fuel cell power solutions, has signed a formal technology development agreement with HELINOR Energy, a Norwegian scale up technology and production provider of next generation hydrogen fuel cell and fire suppression modules.
Under the agreement, HELINOR will fund the development of scalable marine power solutions incorporating Nuvera’s next-generation high-power fuel cell engine technology with HELINOR’s expertise in the maritime industry.
Hub for Ocean and Ocean Highway Cluster are delighted about this agreement and extend our congratulations to Helinor Energy! Leveraging the network's outcomes, the cluster is now fostering the development of local job opportunities.
"The rapidly growing demand for zero-emission solutions for shipping has created opportunities and a platform for hydrogen fuel cell power solutions to address environmental concerns and showcase their efficiency and reliability advantages," said Kedar Murthy, Chief Commercial Officer at Nuvera Fuel Cells. "We are excited to strengthen Nuvera's foothold in the maritime industry, and we look forward to working alongside HELINOR to support the decarbonization of sea-going transportation.”
Nuvera® E-Series Fuel Cell Engines enable vessel and maritime equipment manufacturers to meet increasingly stringent emissions mandates. Nuvera’s engines are designed to help customers with regulatory compliance, and to maintain economic competitiveness by providing high-performance power solutions.
