OMV, a leading energy company, is undertaking the construction of a groundbreaking green hydrogen facility in Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria. The 140 MW electrolyzer plant is poised to become one of the largest of its kind in Europe. It is expected to commence operations by the end of 2027 and will produce up to 23,000 tons of green hydrogen annually using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro power. The primary purpose of this plant is to supply hydrogen to OMV's Schwechat refinery, aligning with the company's broader decarbonization strategy and sustainability goals. The project, with a substantial financial commitment, is subject to a positive outcome from the European and Austrian Hydrogen Bank auction. Once operational, the facility is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by a significant amount, equivalent to the carbon footprint of 20,000 individuals. By leveraging expertise from its existing 10 MW electrolyzer facility, OMV aims to scale up its green hydrogen initiatives, emphasizing its dedication to industrial sustainability in Europe. Martijn van Koten, OMV Executive Vice President, highlighted the plant's importance in revolutionizing the production of essential fuels and chemicals through a sustainable approach. This endeavor underscores OMV's role as an industrial transformation pioneer, demonstrating the integration of innovation and sustainability in its operations. The company's forward-looking strategy aligns with the increasing global focus on renewable energy and decarbonization efforts.
