As part of a zero-carbon target strategy，Cummins launched its new brand last week.Accelera，Designed to accelerate the introduction of zero-emission solutions to the market。
“For over a hundred years.，Cummins is committed to developing leading-edge power solutions，In the aspect of future-oriented sustainable development power system，Hydrogen energy will play a vital role.。”Vice President, Cummins Off-Road EnginesAntonio LeitaoExpress，“Our strategy is to focus on the whole value chain of hydrogen energy industry.，To drive sustainable development and faster time to market。”
Cummins has made a series of acquisitions and investments.，Focus on three hydrogen related areas：Green hydrogen production、Management and transportation，As well as hydrogen internal combustion engines and fuel cells。
AcceleraGeneral Manager, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen TechnologiesAlison TruebloodExpress，“AcceleraIt is dedicated to making more people understand the flexibility and reliability of hydrogen energy and fuel cell engines.，We are building long-term partnerships with our customers.，And reach a consensus，That the best power solution for the future is zero carbon.。”
Green hydrogen production
Green hydrogen is a renewable energy source through the electrolysis of water.(Wind energy、Solar Energy、Water and electricity)Into hydrogen energy，This process is zero carbon.，The key to achieving this is the hydrogen production equipment by electrolysis of water.。AcceleraIs in SpainLa ManchaAnd a new plant for hydrogen production from water electrolysis in Minnesota, USA.，And in BelgiumOevelAnd CanadaMississaugaExpand production capacity。
AcceleraMore than 600 hydrogen production facilities from water electrolysis have been deployed in 100 countries around the world.，And continue to increase investment.。One of the latest projects includes supplying 35 megawatts for a new hydrogen plant in Niagara Falls, New York, for the Linde Group, a hydrogen company(MW)Proton exchange membrane(PEM)Hydrogen production equipment by electrolysis of water。After completion，AcceleraWill power Linde's largest green hydrogen plant in the United States。Appeared at the exhibition.Accelera 1500EElectric Stack，It's 2.Part of a 5 MW Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Facility。
Hydrogen energy storage and transportation
On-board hydrogen storage system is a key component of hydrogen power.，Hydrogen needs to be stored after compression.，To meet the requirements of Vehicle operation。Cummins and the Leader in High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage and TransportationNPROXXEstablish a joint venture company，Support the assembly with the main engine factory。The pressure bearing capacity of the hydrogen storage cylinder is 700bar，It can maximize the hydrogen storage capacity and range of the Vehicle.。
“Hydrogen supply and infrastructure development will take time。The popularization of hydrogen energy may begin with the application of centralized hydrogenation.，For example, it can be operated at the base or near a large hydrogenation hub.。”LeitaoExpress。
Hydrogen internal combustion engine
Cummins is developing the hydrogen internal combustion engine.，Provide customers with sustainable carbon reduction solutions。Hydrogen internal combustion engine compatible with existing Vehicle design，It can help host factories and customers to reduce the difficulty and complexity of integration.。At the same time，Parts and components of hydrogen internal combustion engine and existing engine can be used in common，Promote the advantages of economies of scale，Also provides reliability and durability comparable to diesel engines。
AppearanceCon ExpoCumminsM15HHydrogen engine，Suitable for Excavators、Wheel Loader、Rig、Milling Machine and air Compressor，The maximum power rating is 530 horsepower.(395 kW)，Peak torque of 2600 Nm。
LeitaoAdded：“Hydrogen internal combustion engines can be fitted to existing equipment，Compatible with current transmission，And can smoothly access that exist service network.。”
Hydrogen fuel cell
Hydrogen fuel cell technology can be used with high frequency、Efficient power solutions for heavy-duty vehicles with high energy demand，At the same time, meet the demand of zero emission.。Fuel cells convert chemical energy generated by hydrogen and oxygen into electricity.，It can be used with batteries.(Supercapacitor、Lithium ion or lead acid)Together provide instantaneous dynamic response in a parallel hybrid architecture。
AcceleraAtCon ExpoThe fourth generation fuel cell engine is displayed on the platform.，While achieving zero emissions of greenhouse gases and harmful substances，Power density、Efficiency and durability have also improved.。Single 150 kW and dual 300 kW modular engines for heavy duty and off-road equipment applications。
“Hydrogen internal combustion engines and fuel cells complement each other，Provide a variety of choices for customers at different stages of zero carbon emissions，At the same time, the promotion of hydrogen internal combustion engine will also accelerate the development of hydrogen energy infrastructure.，Promote the wide application of fuel cell power system。”LeitaoExpress。
