Sinopec and Cummins form green hydrogen JV
New firm Cummins Enze will look to capitalise on green hydrogen opportunities in China
US technology firm Cummins and Chinese oil and gas company Sinopec have formed a 50/50 joint venture to pursue green hydrogen projects in China. The joint venture—called Cummins Enze—will aim to accelerate the affordability and availability of green hydrogen through R&D spending and increasing manufacturing capacity. The firm will initially invest $47mn in a plant to produce proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) electrolysers. The facility will have the capacity to produce 500MW/yr from 2023, rising to 1GW /yr over the following five years. The electrolysers will vary in size from small-scale models for on-site hydrogen generation to 100MW and larger versions for pilot projects. “Cummins and
