Accelera is partnering with Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH, a leading European H₂ specialist, to deploy a 5-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer system at the Port of Schweinfurt in Bavaria, Germany. Powered by renewable solar and wind energy, the system will generate up to 2.2 tpd of green H₂ to support decarbonization across mobility, industrial and research sectors in central Germany.

"This collaboration with Tyczka Hydrogen underscores our commitment to advancing the H₂ economy across Europe," said Des McMenamin, General Manager of Electrolyzers for Accelera. "By deploying our proven HyLYZER technology at this strategic location in Bavaria, we're helping to facilitate the development of a regional H₂ value chain—from production to end-use—and accelerating the transition to zero-emissions transportation and industry."

"The electrolyzer is an important part of our production plant. The performance of this unit is key to our success at our H₂ hub in Bavaria. We are confident that with Accelera we have found an experienced partner to achieve a high level of safety, quality, availability and efficiency," said Jürgen Schmidt, Head of Technology & Engineering at Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH. "Together with our strong trailer-fleet and the extensive network of green H₂ sources, this new hub will significantly complement our already strong value chain.”

Project highlights

• Advanced technology: Two Accelera HyLYZER® 500 electrolyzers will deliver 5 MW of capacity, producing up to 2.2 tpd of green H₂ for mobility, industrial and research & development (R&D) applications.
• Powered by renewable energy: Utilizing electricity from solar and wind sources, the electrolyzer system will produce zero-emissions H₂.
• Prime location: The electrolyzer system will be installed at the Port of Schweinfurt, a central logistics hub in Bavaria with direct access to major highways, industrial infrastructure and the SüdLink DC grid connection – providing reliable access to renewable energy.
• Environmental impact: The project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 6,000 tpy compared to fossil fuel alternatives – equivalent to removing approximately 1,400 passenger vehicles from the road.
• Government support: Backed by a €5-MM grant from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs through their Electrolyzer Funding Program, the project highlights a strong government commitment to H₂ infrastructure and clean energy innovation.
