Cummins to Build Hydrogen Equipment Factory in Spain
Cummins Inc.
American industrial giant Cummins Inc. plans to build in Spain one of the world’s largest manufacturing facilities for machines that produce hydrogen from electricity.
Cummins joins a growing number of companies that are rapidly scaling up manufacturing and production of the cleaner-burning fuel within the European Union as the bloc seeks to use hydrogen to curb greenhouse gas emissions from polluting industries. The company will partner with Spanish renewable power developer Iberdrola SA to provide the machines for a large-scale project to supply a fertilizer maker in Spain.
Hydrogen made from renewable electricity could cut the carbon footprints of industries such as chemical production, steel making and transportation. However, if the fuel is produced using electricity to separate the gas from water it’s much more expensive than the kind made from fossil fuels.
Spanish energy company Iberdrola is teaming up with power technology company Cummings to develop large-scale green hydrogen plants in Spain and Portugal.
The duo have signed an agreement to accelerate the growth of business opportunities in the electrolyser market of Iberia, promoting the green hydrogen value chain.
A site selection search within the Guadalajara area of Castilla-La Mancha is currently underway for Cummins’ new €50m PEM electrolyser

The plant will be scalable to more than 1GW/year, the partners said.
The facility, which will initially be 22,000 square metres, is anticipated to open in 2023, creating 350 new jobs as production ramps up.
