Accelera™ and GAIL partner to advance green hydrogen production, transportation and storage

The zero-emissions business segment of Cummins and India's leading natural gas company have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on green hydrogen and zero-emissions technologies in India.

A new collaboration between Accelera™ and GAIL is set to leverage Accelera™'s expertise in hydrogen generation technology and GAIL's established natural gas infrastructure to explore opportunities in hydrogen production, blending, transportation and storage.

The partnership also aims to evaluate and develop projects for hydrogen applications across multiple sectors, including transport, power and steel.

" Accelera™’s collaboration with a partner like GAIL demonstrates the potential of green hydrogen and the capability of large-scale electrolysis for diverse applications," said Alex Savelli, Global Commercial Leader – Electrolysers for Accelera™. "By combining our advanced electrolyser technology with GAIL's extensive energy infrastructure and leading market presence, we are well-positioned to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen across India."

This strategic partnership follows the successful commissioning of GAIL's green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, in December 2024, where Accelera™ supplied a 10-megawatt (MW) proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser system.

Accelera™’s two PEM HyLYZER®-1000 electrolyser units produce 4.3 tons of green hydrogen per day, which is being blended with natural gas to power GAIL’s on-site operations.

"Building upon the successful implementation of our Vijaipur project, this partnership with Accelera™ strengthens our commitment to India's National Green Hydrogen Mission,” said Rajeev Kumar Singhal, Director of Business Development, GAIL. “Together, we will work towards developing a robust hydrogen value chain that supports India's ambitious goal of producing five million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030."

The collaboration will also focus on sharing knowledge on hydrogen blending with natural gas, developing industry standards and exploring new applications for green hydrogen technology.

Electrolysers leverage renewable energy sources to produce green hydrogen, which is vital for accelerating the clean energy transition.

Accelera™ is a leader in large-scale hydrogen production using PEM electrolysis and has deployed more than 600 electrolyser units worldwide, powering some of the most advanced PEM electrolyser systems operating globally. This includes a 20MW facility in Quebec, Canada, and a 25MW system in Florida, US.
