Accelera's Giant Leap: Largest Electrolyzer Powers Green Hydrogen in New York
New York, Thursday, 4 September 2025.
Accelera installs its largest 35 MW electrolyzer in New York, using hydroelectric energy to create green hydrogen, aiming to decarbonise industry and push the clean energy transition forward.
A Milestone in Green Hydrogen Production
Accelera, a branch of Cummins Inc., has achieved a significant milestone by installing its largest 35 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at Linde’s facility in Niagara Falls, New York. This installation is set to power the production of green hydrogen using the abundant hydroelectric energy available in the region [1][2].
Driving Decarbonisation Efforts
The electrolyzer’s installation is a vital step forward in decarbonising industrial operations. By harnessing renewable energy, Accelera aims to reduce emissions and promote cleaner energy solutions across the U.S. This move is part of a broader strategy to transition towards a sustainable energy economy [1][2].
Strategic Location and Local Impact
Located in Niagara Falls, the facility is strategically positioned to benefit from proximity to key industrial hubs. This not only supports regional job creation but also strengthens New York’s leadership in the clean energy sector. The project exemplifies how local initiatives can have a broader impact on national energy goals [1].
A Global Leader in Electrolyzer Technology
Accelera’s deployment of the 35 MW system underscores its role as a global leader in electrolyzer technology. The company has already deployed over 600 units worldwide, showcasing its capability to deliver large-scale and reliable solutions for green hydrogen production [1].
The Future of Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is considered a key component in the transition to clean energy. It plays an essential role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in sectors where other clean solutions are less viable. As the technology advances, the potential for widespread adoption grows, bringing us closer to a sustainable future [3][4].
