bp's Green Hydrogen Production Plant to Boost Germany's Energy Transition
Key Ideas
- Accelera by Cummins to supply a 100MW PEM electrolyser system for bp's green hydrogen production plant in Lingen, Germany by 2027.
- The system will consist of 20 HyLYZER-1000 units, producing up to 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually from renewable electricity sourced from offshore wind farms.
- The green hydrogen will support bp's local refinery and industrial customers, contributing to regional economic benefits and low-carbon industrial operations.
- Accelera's PEM electrolyser technology, known for efficiency and scalability, will play a significant role in advancing Germany's hydrogen economy.
Accelera by Cummins will supply a 100MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser system for bp's largest green hydrogen production plant in Lingen, Germany, operational by 2027. This development will be crucial in advancing Germany's hydrogen economy and supporting the country's clean energy transition. The system will comprise 20 PEM HyLYZER-1000 electrolyser units, making it the largest system assembled by Accelera. By utilizing renewable electricity from offshore wind farms, the 100MW electrolyser system is expected to produce up to 11,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. The green hydrogen will be supplied to bp's local refinery and industrial customers in the region, including the steel and chemical sectors, aiming to decarbonize operations and foster low-carbon industrial practices. Accelera's PEM electrolyser technology, with its enhanced efficiency and scalability, is key to the sustainability and effectiveness of the hydrogen production process. The project signifies a significant milestone for Accelera and the energy transition in Germany and Europe, emphasizing the potential of large-scale hydrogen initiatives to drive regional economic benefits and accelerate the transition to low-carbon industrial operations.
