Atura Power selects Cummins to manufacture the electrolyzer system for its Niagara Hydrogen Center in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This will be the first 20MW renewable hydrogen facility in the state.
An operational center in 2024
Atura Power announces that Cummins will manufacture the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis system at its Mississauga facility. The electrolysis system will be the centerpiece of the company’s Niagara Hydrogen Center. Thus, hydrogen will supply industrial customers for immediate consumption.
The renewable hydrogen will mix with the fuel stream at Atura Power’s Halton Hills Generating Station creating clean electricity for Ontario. In addition, detailed design work and system integration are underway. As a result, Niagara Hydrogen Center would be operational by early 2024.
Promising technologies
Cummins was acquiring Mississauga-based Hydrogenics in 2019. The company continues to expand its portfolio of hydrogen and other zero-emission technologies. The company’s focus is on PEM solutions and alkaline electrolyzers.
Atura Power is implementing a low cost, low carbon hydrogen program. Thus, the company aims to reduce greenhouse gases. The company is guided by the net zero targets outlined in Ontario Power Generation’s climate change plan.
A partnership for Ontario
Atura Power, a subsidiary of Ontario Power Generation, plays a key role in the province’s electricity system. The company is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, it aims to be a leader in facilitating the adoption of hydrogen throughout the Ontario economy.
Cummins designs, distributes and services a broad portfolio of power solutions. Based in Columbus, Indiana, the company employs 59,000 people. Finally, it aims to contribute to a more prosperous world.
