Accelera partners with Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH to supply 5MW electrolyzer system for green hydrogen production in Germany

Accelera is partnering with Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH, a leading European hydrogen 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 tons of green hydrogen daily to support decarbonization across mobility, industrial and research sectors in central Germany.

"This collaboration with Tyczka Hydrogen underscores our commitment to advancing the hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen sources, this new hub will significantly complement our already strong value chain.”

Project highlights

• Advanced technology: Two Accelera HyLYZER® 500 electrolyzers will deliver 5MW of capacity, producing up to 2.2 tons of green hydrogen daily 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 hydrogen.
• 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 tons annually compared to fossil fuel alternatives – equivalent to removing approximately 1,400 passenger vehicles from the road.
• Government support: Backed by a €5 million grant from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs through their Electrolyzer Funding Program, the project highlights a strong government commitment to hydrogen infrastructure and clean energy innovation.

Advancing the green hydrogen economy

Electrolyzers that leverage renewable energy sources 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 electrolyzer units worldwide, powering some of the most advanced PEM electrolyzer systems operating globally. This includes a 20MW facility in Quebec, Canada, and a 35MW system in New York, U.S.
