Austrian Innovations in Green Hydrogen Technology
Key Ideas
  • OMV successfully starts a 10 MW green hydrogen plant in Schwechat, Austria, the largest of its kind in the country, investing €25 million.
  • TU Graz inaugurates a hydrogen electrolysis test center for developing and testing hydrogen technologies with a capacity of 1.6 to 2.5 MW.
  • Wärtsilä introduces the world's first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker, enabling industrial-scale hydrogen production from transported ammonia.
  • BMW initiates pilot operations of hydrogen trucks in Germany under the European H2Haul project to evaluate drive performance in daily use.
OMV has successfully launched a 10 MW green hydrogen plant at the Schwechat refinery near Vienna, making it the largest installation of its kind in Austria. The company invested €25 million in the facility, which can produce up to 1,500 metric tons of green hydrogen annually. The hydrogen will be utilized in producing sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. TU Graz has opened a hydrogen electrolysis test center with a capacity of 1.6 to 2.5 MW at its Inffeldgasse Campus. Wärtsilä, in collaboration with Höegh Evi, has developed the world's first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker, enabling industrial-scale hydrogen production from ammonia. BMW has launched pilot operations of its first hydrogen trucks in Germany under the European H2Haul project to assess drive performance. These initiatives demonstrate Austria's commitment to green hydrogen technology and its application in various sectors.
