Hydrogen

Commitment at

IAA

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) confirmed
its commitment at IAA to playing a major
role in the hydrogen economy as part of
its Destination Zero initiative.

“Cummins has been at the cutting edge of developing power solutions
for over one hundred years, and we continue to demonstrate industry
leadership by developing a diverse range of sustainable drivetrains
– with hydrogen playing a key role,” said Alison Trueblood, Cummins
Executive Director – On-Highway Business Europe. “Our aim is to fo-
cus on the complete hydrogen value chain to drive sustainability and
enable faster adoption.”

As a result of acquisitions and investment, Cummins is focusing on
three key areas for hydrogen: the production of green hydrogen, the
management and transportation of hydrogen, and the application of
hydrogen in engines and fuel cells.

Green Hydrogen Production

Green hydrogen is produced using electrolysis to turn sustainab-
le power (wind, solar, hydro) into hydrogen with zero carbon dioxide
emissions. As announced in May 2021, Cummins is establishing a new
Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser plant in Spain that will
house system assembly and testing for approximately 500 MW/year
and will be scalable to more than 1 GW/year. Cummins is investing in
this technology, with over 600 electrolysers deployed globally in 100
countries.

Hydrogen Storage and Supply

On-board storage is a critical component of hydrogen power. Hydrogen
needs to be compressed into the available space to store enough to
meet vehicle duty cycle requirements. Cummins has a joint venture
with NPROXX, a world leader in high pressure hydrogen storage for
both stationary and mobile applications, to support the OEM integra-
tion process.
