How Will a 22,000 Square Metre Plant Revolutionise Hydrogen Production?

Cummins recently announced plans for a €50 million PEM electrolyser plant, HIL provides the key points for the project.

In May 2021, Power solutions company Cummins announced plans to build a €50 million PEM electrolyser plant for green hydrogen production in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.

Opening in 2023, The plant will be an astonishing 22,000 square metre and will be the site for the assembly and testing of 55MW/year. In the future, it will be scalable to more than 1 GW/year.

Cummins has received significant support from the Castilla-La Mancha and Spanish government as the plant will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

On top of this project, the alliance has enabled a 230MW green hydrogen project in Palos de la Frontera.

Supplying the electrolyser, Cummins and the alliance will collaborate on the design for wider scalability in the future.

In Castilla-La Mancha, Iberdrola operates 2,376MW of wind and photovoltaic power and recently completed three photovoltaic projects in the region, totalling 150MW.

This highlights Spain’s determination to switch to low carbon and green solutions.
