OMV has successfully launched a 10 megawatts green hydrogen production plant at its Schwechat refinery near Vienna, Austria. This plant, the largest of its kind in the country, represents an investment of approximately EUR 25 million. With a capacity to produce up to 1,500 metric tons of green hydrogen per year, the facility will play a crucial role in the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO). The plant's polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is powered entirely by renewable electricity from wind, hydro, and solar sources. This innovation is expected to lead to an annual reduction of up to 15,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to the CO2 consumption of 2,000 individuals per year. Martijn van Koten, OMV Board Member Fuels & Feedstock and Chemicals, emphasized the significance of green hydrogen in the sustainability transformation, highlighting its role in decarbonizing the Schwechat site and contributing to a cleaner future. OMV's commitment to establishing local green hydrogen production and supply chains in Europe not only supports climate goals but also ensures industrial progress. The expertise gained from this initiative is seen as a foundation for future pioneering projects that will drive towards a more sustainable and resilient tomorrow.
