Cummins Enze’s green hydrogen production solution passed the commercial evaluation of JGC Holdings Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation and won their 2.5MW hydrogen production project to be deployed in Australia. Cummins Enze will provide a set of Accelera HyLYZER®-500 equipment for the project, which can produce 500 standard cubic meters of hydrogen per hour.

This project is located in the Gladstone area of ​​Queensland. It will produce green hydrogen through proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis hydrogen production technology and apply it to the calcination process of alumina to help meet customers’ carbon reduction needs in the hydrogen and alumina manufacturing process.

JGC is a well-known energy engineering project contracting company in Japan, and Sumitomo Corporation is a leading global trading company. They carry out diversified business activities in various industries. Cummins Enze won this project due to its solid technical capabilities and rich industry application experience in green hydrogen equipment and overall solution capabilities. It will further help users consolidate the competitive advantages of their hydrogen energy supply chain and develop substantial local hydrogen business contacts in the Gladstone area.

As a joint venture between Enze Fund, a subsidiary of Sinopec Capital, and Cummins, based on a localized supply chain system, with adaptive design by the laws and regulations of the Chinese market, Cummins Enze has started localized production and manufacturing of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment of the Accelera HyLYZER® series, suitable for the projects between 200-800 Nm3/h, 400-2,000 Nm3/h, and 1,000-10,000 Nm3/h, with the characteristics of safety, reliability and low maintenance cost.

The world’s first localized HyLYZER®-1000 product for the Chinese market of Cummins Accelera officially rolled off the production line in January this year, and the localized HyLYZER®-500 also officially rolled off the production line in June 2024. This means that Cummins Enze has completed the localization work of two series of products and has various capabilities such as engineering research and development, supply chain management, assembly, and complete machine testing and verification.

Since its establishment, Cummins Enze has participated in the delivery of multiple PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production projects in China, helping promote the development of green hydrogen in various fields such as industry and transportation, including the “Source, Grid, Load, and Storage Integration” Project of China Three Gorges Corporation in Ulanqab and Sinopec Zhongyuan Field Renewable Electric Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project. Among them, the equipment of the Sinopec Zhongyuan Field Renewable Electric Power Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project has been operating smoothly, safely, and efficiently for more than 6,800 hours since it was put into operation in 2022. It has an annual production capacity of nearly 400 tons, a green hydrogen purity of 99.9995%, a daily output of hydrogen that can be used to drive 106 buses throughout the day, and a target annual carbon dioxide emission reduction of 2,200 tons.
