The world is racing to drastically lower greenhouse gas emissions and limit the earth's warming to 1.5 degrees from pre-industrial levels. To reach this goal, 189 parties, representing the producers of 83 percent of global emissions, have ratified the Paris Climate Agreement. In addition, 66 countries have now stated their intentions to be carbon neutral by 2050, with several passing these targets
Cummins is locating one of the world’s largest electrolyzer plants for the production of green hydrogen in Spain. The 22,000-square meter facility will produce the world’s largest electrolyzer systems, with an initial production capacity of 500 MW/year and is scalable to more than 1 GW/year. A site selection search is underway within Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, with the facility expected to open
With an obligation to our customers and our planet to change how we view energy, we released our PLANET 2050 sustainability strategy. This strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas and air emissions in line with experts' recommendations, use natural resources in the most sustainable way possible and help communities address major environmental challenges. With the addition of fuel cell and
This investment in Spain comes on the heels of Iberdrola and Cummins’ decision to partner together on large-scale hydrogen production projects in Spain and Portugal. The companies have signed an agreement to accelerate the growth of business opportunities in the electrolyzer market of Iberia, promoting the green hydrogen value chain and making Spain a leader of this technology and industry. Thi
Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to store renewable energy for a flexible, low-carbon power supply. Hydrogen offers a solution. Using renewable sources such as wind, to produce hydrogen emits no greenhouse gasses (green hydrogen). Wind energy can be converted into hydrogen using an electrolyzer and utilized in several ways – from fuel-cell hydrogen trucks, buses and trains, to ships
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today Jonathan Wood has been named Vice President – New Power Engineering to accelerate innovation and scale in its alternative power business segment, which houses its electrified power and hydrogen portfolio. "As we move toward our goal of zero emissions, we are faced with increasing technology complexities, and we need to continue to shape the technical org
With their environmentally conscious footprint located worldwide, each site is focused on building the future of power. Whether that’s assembling battery modules, building the next generation of fuel cell stacks, innovating electrolyzers or developing solid oxide capabilities, our sites and employees are the heartbeat that keeps New Power innovations moving towards a greener future. What they’re d
Greener natural gas may be coming soon to a grid near you. With the approval of a project by Cummins and Enbridge Gas to blend low-carbon hydrogen into Ontario’s natural gas network, a future with lower-emission natural gas is within reach. Thanks to this blend, the pilot project will bring cleaner natural gas to the residential market on a major scale for the first time in North America. Th
For hydrogen power, the sky is no longer the limit — it’s the starting point. With new hydrogen air applications, hydrogen-powered aviation has proven is within reach and Cummins is a part of it. The world’s first hydrogen-powered aircraft, powered by Cummins fuel cells, was unveiled at the Stuttgart Airport in Germany this past December. Called the DLR-HY4, the four-seat airplane has successfu
In November 2020, we shared the exciting news that Cummins will open a new facility in Herten, Germany in 2021. The facility will initially focus on the assembly of fuel cell systems, with plans to expand in the future to support fuel cell stack refurbishment. With the capacity of 10 megawatts per year and space for research and development, the facility will “better position us to provide crit
Despite an unprecedented year for riders and the transit bus industry, cities across the globe are continuing to invest in their communities for brighter days ahead. With quiet, zero-emission solutions hitting the road, it won’t be long until you’re taking a ride on a Cummins-powered zero-emission transit bus. The GILLIG zero-emission battery electric bus powered by Cummins was first unve
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day and all the green that comes with it, we want to discuss what it means to go from gray to green hydrogen. We’ve covered the basics of electrolyzers, and you might already be familiar with some common applications for hydrogen such as fuel cell electric trucks and trains. But what about those applications that go beyond on-and off-highway? Hydrogen has numer
