The installation will consist of two HyLYZER® 500 units powered by renewable electricity from solar and wind. The system will produce up to 2.2 tonnes of hydrogen per day to serve mobility, industrial and research applications in central Germany. According to project partners, this output will help avoid more than 6,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to taking around 1,400 passenger cars off the road.
Located at a central logistics hub with direct access to highways, industrial facilities and the SüdLink DC grid connection, the Schweinfurt site is intended to anchor a regional hydrogen value chain. The project has secured €5 million in funding from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs under its Electrolyzer Funding Program.
“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 are 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,” added Jürgen Schmidt, Head of Technology & Engineering at Tyczka Hydrogen. “Together with our strong trailer fleet and extensive network of green hydrogen sources, this new hub will significantly complement our existing value chain.”
