OMV officially launched its ReOil® chemical recycling plant and a 10 MW green hydrogen electrolyzer facility in Vienna, Austria. These technologies support OMV's decarbonization and circularity strategy. The company has also decided to invest in a 140 MW green hydrogen project in Lower Austria, aiming to produce 23,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by 2027 for the Schwechat refinery. This initiative aligns with OMV's ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The electrolyzer plant in Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria, will utilize renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro power. The new facility is expected to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and supply green hydrogen to the refinery. OMV's focus on sustainability, industrial innovation, and collaboration across the value chain is evident in these groundbreaking projects, showcasing a commitment to a more sustainable future.
