OMV, an energy producer and petrochemical group, has recently announced the final investment decision for a significant green hydrogen project in Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria. The 140 MW electrolyser facility is set to produce 23,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, with a focus on supplying OMV's Schwechat refinery. By utilizing renewable electricity sources such as wind, solar, and hydro, the project aims to reduce approximately 150,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. This initiative comes after the successful deployment of a 10 MW pilot unit at the same site, emphasizing the company's dedication to sustainable practices and operational efficiency. Furthermore, OMV is strategically linking chemical production and refining through additional pilot infrastructures in Schwechat, including an electrolyser and a unit for chemical recycling of complex plastics. These efforts aim to strengthen the integration between refining and petrochemical transformation, aligning with the company's 2030 roadmap for industrial transformation while ensuring competitiveness in the sector. To support the electrolyser project, OMV is seeking positive outcomes in European hydrogen auctions to secure financial backing. Martijn van Koten, an executive at OMV, highlights the project's significance in meeting the company's hydrogen demand and maintaining industrial continuity. The development of this green hydrogen project not only represents a step towards sustainability and reduced emissions but also positions OMV as a key player in the evolving landscape of renewable energy and petrochemical industries.
