bp's 100MW Green Hydrogen Plant in Lingen, Germany
Key Ideas
- Accelera, a clean tech arm of Cummins, will supply bp's green hydrogen plant in Lingen, Germany, with a 100MW PEM electrolyser system, producing 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for bp's refining processes.
- The project received an investment decision in December, with Accelera providing 20 of its 5MW PEM HyLYZER-1000 units, the largest system assembled by the firm, from its plant in Spain, with full commissioning expected in 2027.
- The project is part of the EU's Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hy2Infra scheme and is a significant milestone for Accelera, showcasing their ability to deliver industrial-scale solutions for decarbonization.
- Despite a restructuring within Cummins impacting Accelera and the oil industry's focus on oil production, the collaboration with bp highlights a continued commitment to green hydrogen and the growth of the green hydrogen economy.
Cummins' clean tech arm, Accelera, has secured a deal to supply a 100MW PEM electrolyser system to bp's green hydrogen plant in Lingen, Germany. This project, which has reached its final investment decision (FID) in December, aims to produce around 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for bp's refining processes. Accelera will be delivering 20 of its 5MW PEM HyLYZER-1000 units to this plant, marking the largest system they have assembled so far. These units will be manufactured at Accelera's new 500MW plant in Guadalajara, Spain. Despite Cummins announcing a shift in focus towards oil production, the Lingen project is set to be fully operational by 2027. The project received funding from the European Union's IPCEI Hy2Infra scheme, showcasing its importance on a regional level. The collaboration between bp and Accelera highlights a commitment to green hydrogen and the advancement of decarbonization efforts. This initiative is seen as a significant milestone for Accelera, demonstrating their ability to provide large-scale solutions for industrial decarbonization.
