Stargate Hydrogen selected to continue the Legacy of the HyStat Alkaline Electrolysers

  • 2026-10-19

Stargate Hydrogen today announced the signing of an agreement with Cummins Inc (NYSE: CMI) to become the approved aftermarket vendor for the HyStat legacy alkaline electrolyser stack business. Stargate Hydrogen will manufacture and supply replacement stacks and related services for more than 400 installed systems, representing more than 1,000 stacks across 65 countries. 

The agreement marks a major milestone in Stargate Hydrogen’s history, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted provider of industrial electrolysis technology and positioning the company as the approved vendor for one of the largest alkaline electrolyser fleets in the world.

Stargate Hydrogen will ensure customers maintain the system’s performance and extend life with the same high standards provided during decades of existence of the HyStat platform. The new business significantly broadens the company's customer base and strengthens its presence in established hydrogen markets and with globally recognized industrial gas companies operating hydrogen production systems worldwide.

The deal also reflects the company's progress from technology development to industrial-scale deployment. Since being founded in 2021, Stargate Hydrogen has gradually increased its manufacturing capabilities focusing on large-scale hydrogen production.

"This agreement is first and foremost about maturity," said Marko Virkebau, Chief Executive Officer of Stargate Hydrogen. "We are proud to continue the legacy of the HyStat platform, which has served customers reliably over multiple decades and has been proven through hundreds of thousands of operating hours in real industrial conditions. Being selected by Cummins to carry this responsibility demonstrates confidence in our engineering, our manufacturing capabilities, and our commitment to supporting customers for the long term."

Tim Proctor, Executive Director of  Electrolyser Engineering at Accelera by Cummins, stated: "We selected Stargate Hydrogen because we believe they have the technical expertise, commitment, and long-term perspective required to support the customers."

By becoming the approved aftermarket vendor for the HyStat installed base, Stargate Hydrogen gains recurring demand for replacement stacks and a stronger presence in established hydrogen markets. The company expects the transition to support continued growth while creating new opportunities for future deployments of its own proprietary electrolysis technologies.
