Cummins Accelerator ™ will provide a 100 megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis hydrogen production system for BP's green hydrogen project in Lingen, Germany. As BP's largest hydrogen production plant to date, this project will adopt Accelera's advanced HyLYZERPEM electrolysis water hydrogen production technology.
The hydrogen production system powering the BP Lingen project consists of 20 HyLYZER-1000 proton exchange membrane electrolysis water hydrogen production units, which is currently the largest electrolysis water hydrogen production system at Accelera. The new electrolysis water hydrogen production equipment factory located in Guadalajara, Spain is currently being produced by Accelerate and is planned to be fully operational by 2027. This 100 MW electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment system is expected to produce up to 11000 tons of green hydrogen annually.
This project is an important milestone for Accelera, as well as for the energy transition in Germany and Europe. Collaborating with industry leaders like BP to develop a 100 MW system project demonstrates our ability to provide innovative industrial scale solutions, help customers achieve decarbonization goals, and promote the sustainable development of the green hydrogen economy.

Project highlights
Sustainable production
Accelerate's 100 MW electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment will be powered by renewable electricity from offshore wind power, ensuring that the final product is green hydrogen.
Regional impact
The hydrogen produced will not only support the BP Linden Refinery, but also serve industrial users in surrounding areas, such as steel and chemical producers, helping Germany's hydrogen economy develop.
technological innovation
This project will adopt Accelerate's efficient, scalable, and optimized PEM electrolysis hydrogen production technology.
The Lingen Green Hydrogen Project demonstrates how large-scale hydrogen energy plans can generate regional economic benefits, assist partners in achieving sustainable development goals, and accelerate the transition to low-carbon industrial operations. For over 70 years, the Linden Refinery has been providing the necessary energy for German industry. Now, we are transforming its role through this project, providing low-carbon hydrogen energy to help our operations and regional industries achieve decarbonization goals.
