• Alkaline electrolysis

– 30wt% KOH – porous

membranes

– Been around for >60 yrs

– Reliable proven technology

• Proton exchange membrane

– ‘Polymer electrolyte membrane’

– Compact / high currents

– Wide working range (low-high

power)

• Solid oxide electrolyte

– Solid ZrxOy steam electrolysis

– High temperature – high

efficiency

– Less flexible

• Anion exchange membrane

– Alkaline polymer electrolyte

– Little commercialisation

▪ Governments all over the globe have announced major initiatives to

support the massive deployment of hydrogen.

▪ Cummins has acquired key hydrogen technologies (water

electrolysis, fuels cells and hydrogen storage tanks)

▪ Cummins offers both alkaline & PEM electrolyzers, but has a clear

focus on PEM technology for large scale Power-to-X projects

operated dynamically (5-125%) in combination with renewables

(wind and solar)

▪ Cummins HyLYZER®-1000 PEM electrolyzer is easy to integrate

by EPC companies in 10-100 MW projects

▪ Cummins is preparing the Next Generation of PEM electrolyzers

for 100MW+ projects “BIGGER IS CHEAPER!”
