• 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!”
