Accelera recently announced its largest electrolyzer project to date – a 100-megawatt (MW) system for bp’s green hydrogen plant in Germany
Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emissions business segment of Cummins Inc. , hosted Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and other government officials at its state-of-the-art electrolyzer manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Castilla-la Mancha, Spain.
Prime Minister Sánchez toured the 260,000-square-foot proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer manufacturing facility, one of the largest in Spain, and met with Accelera employees to celebrate their work in building the nation’s green hydrogen economy. The energy-efficient electrolyzer facility began production in April 2024 and has created 91 highly skilled jobs, with the potential for more as production expands.
Accelera recently announced its largest electrolyzer project to date – a 100-megawatt (MW) system for bp’s green hydrogen plant in Lingen, Germany – and production for the electrolyzer system is underway at the facility in Guadalajara. With an immediate 500MW of capacity, scalable to 1 gigawatt (GW), Accelera has plans to increase onsite manufacturing in the future, bringing more hydrogen production to Spain and further establishing the country as a hydrogen industrial hub in Europe.
During the discussions, participants emphasized the importance of domestic electrolyzer production in Spain, including Accelera’s plant in Guadalajara. This production is crucial not only for reaching Spain’s target of 12GW of installed electrolyzers, but also for creating jobs and strengthening Spain’s industrial base.
Attendees included:
- Olvido Moraleda, President of bp Spain and Vice President of bp group
- Arturo Gonzalo Aizpiri, CEO of Enagás
- Millán García-Tola, Global Hydrogen Director of Iberdrola
- José Manuel Martínez, CTO of Moeve
- Amy Davis, President of Accelera by Cummins
- Andreas Lippert, Vice President of Electrolyzers for Accelera by Cummins
Accelera is a leader in large-scale hydrogen production using PEM electrolysis and has deployed more than 600 electrolyzer units worldwide, powering some of the most advanced PEM electrolyzer systems operating globally. This includes a 20MW facility in Quebec, Canada, and a 25MW system in Florida, U.S.
