OMV has unveiled 10 MW green hydrogen production plant at the Schwechat refinery near Vienna, Austria. The facility has the capacity to produce up to 1,500 metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually. The green hydrogen will be used to produce more sustainable fuels and chemicals, including sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel.
Furthermore, approximately €25 million have been invested in the project. The green hydrogen plant will save up to 15,000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The plant is certified under the EU’s RED II for RFNBO production. Additionally, the project is backed by Austria’s Climate and Energy Fund and the WIVA P&G Hydrogen Model Region.
OMV has also inked an agreement with Masdar for the production of green hydrogen, synthetic sustainable aviation fuel, and other sustainable products. Both the companies will explore opportunities in Austria, the UAE and in Central and Northern Europe for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
