35MW Electrolyzer Delivered for Linde’s Hydroelectric-Powered Green H2 Project at Niagara Falls, New York

     Accelera, the zero-emissions business segment of Cummins Inc., developed a 35MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer that is the largest operational system of its kind in the U.S. This system will produce green hydrogen at commercial scale for industrial gas giant Linde at their facility in Niagara Falls, New York. The system will be powered by hydroelectricity and split water into H2 and O2. The PEM electrolyzer is “modular, scalable, and enables future expansions and integration into increasingly complex industrial workflows.” The location is ideal, being near hydropower production and a major industrial gas facility.

     The electrolyzer system was built at Accelera’s Minnesota facility. Accelera has deployed more than 600 PEM electrolyzers globally. Larger systems include a 20 MW facility in Quebec, Canada, and a 25 MW system in Florida. The 35MW system at Niagara Falls will be Accelera’s largest system deployed globally. According to the press release:

“The successful delivery of this 35MW electrolyzer system is a significant milestone for Accelera and for the advancement of clean hydrogen technology in North America,” said Des McMenamin, General Manager – Electrolyzers for Accelera. “This project demonstrates our ability to deliver large-scale, reliable solutions that enable our customers to produce green hydrogen on a commercial scale.”

     Acellera delivers plug-and-play electrolyzer systems to make hydrogen that can be used for multiple applications, including replacing natural gas for grid balancing, as a feedstock for green ammonia that can be used to make fertilizers, H2 for refueling stations, large industries, e-fuels, and much more.
