Empowering Creative Sustainability: Canvas Group Adopts Alkaline Water Electrolysis with Support from Cummins
As climate awareness grows across all industries, creative and community-focused organizations like Canvas Group are exploring new ways to power their operations sustainably. One such innovation is alkaline water electrolysis, a proven technology that produces green hydrogen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity—preferably from renewable sources.
Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen generated via alkaline electrolysis emits no carbon dioxide when used. For groups like Katie’s Canvas, which may operate art centers, creative hubs, or eco-friendly workshops, adopting green hydrogen can mean clean heating, fuel for electric kilns or vehicles, and a strong environmental message embedded into their mission.
A major force behind the advancement of alkaline electrolysis is Cummins Inc., a global power technology leader. In July 2025, Cummins announced the expansion of its HyLYZER®-500 alkaline electrolyzer platform, which will be manufactured at its new hydrogen innovation facility in Minnesota. This next-generation system is designed for scalability, making it accessible not only to industrial users but also to community and educational institutions aiming to lower their carbon footprint.
Cummins has also initiated partnerships with creative and sustainability-focused organizations to pilot small-scale hydrogen systems powered by solar or wind energy. These systems can support off-grid studios, community events, and green workshops, aligning well with the values of groups like Katie’s Canvas.
With Cummins driving innovation and groups like Katie’s Canvas leading with vision, alkaline water electrolysis is no longer just an industrial tool—it’s becoming a creative enabler for sustainability. Together, they showcase how technology and the arts can unite to inspire a cleaner, more thoughtful future.
