Cummins Enze, located in Foshan, Guangdong Province in China, will initially invest US$47 million to locate a manufacturing plant to produce proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers. The plant will initially have a manufacturing capacity of 500 MW/yr of electrolysers upon completion in 2023, which will be gradually increased over the next 5 years to reach 1 GW/yr of manufacturing capacity.

Cummins Enze will also provide a variety of hydrogen generation system solutions to meet diversified application requirements. This will include offering electrolysers for both small-scale hydrogen production, such as a hydrogen fuelling system for onsite hydrogen generation, as well as for large-scale hydrogen generation installations capable of 100 MW and beyond.

Foshan, China, where the JV’s new plant will be located, is a national ecological base for the hydrogen energy industry. It has a mature hydrogen energy industry chain and is also one of China’s first listed areas to be supported by China’s central government to pilot and grow the hydrogen industry.
