Hydrogen technology manufacturer Accelera has entered into a partnership with Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH to supply and install a 5-megawatt (MW) electrolysis system in Schweinfurt, Bavaria. This infrastructure, powered by renewable energy, will produce up to 2.2 tonnes of green hydrogen per day for use in the mobility, industrial and research sectors.

A project integrated into Bavaria’s logistics centre

The electrolyser will be installed at the Port of Schweinfurt, a strategic hub connected to major industrial infrastructure and the SüdLink direct current grid. This location enables direct access to regional logistics flows and a reliable supply of solar and wind power.

The system will be based on two HyLYZER 500 units, developed by Accelera, using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology. This technology, already deployed on more than 600 sites worldwide, is designed to deliver continuous, stable production of high-purity hydrogen.

Public support and regional industrial ambition

The project is supported by a €5mn ($5.43mn) grant from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs under its Electrolyser Funding Programme. This support reflects the government’s commitment to expanding regional hydrogen production capacity and developing a full value chain.

Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH plans to integrate the system into a broader logistics platform, relying on its transport fleet and existing network of green hydrogen sources. The goal is to enhance delivery efficiency and meet industrial demand.

Emissions reduction and market outlook

According to the partners’ estimates, commissioning the facility will prevent more than 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, by replacing fossil fuels. This is equivalent to the carbon footprint of approximately 1,400 passenger vehicles.

The partnership between Accelera and Tyczka Hydrogen comes amid rising European investment in large-scale green hydrogen production. The development of local hubs equipped with electrolysers is viewed as a key lever to deliver a competitive supply for industrial and logistics markets.
