When carrying out hydrogen projects together with industrial partners, the focus is on generating green hydrogen in the vicinity of major buyers.

The offtakers primarily come from what are known as hard-to-abate sectors. These are the sectors of the economy in which it is difficult to reduce climate-damaging emissions through electrification. This includes the chemical industry, the fertiliser industry, the steel industry, as well as refineries.

VERBUND thinks about hydrogen in both the short and long term

In the short term, VERBUND is pushing the expansion of local hydrogen production for direct use at the offtaker’s site. VERBUND is working with industrial partners on a variety of specific projects, with on-site production at the customers’ sites ensuring immediate, reliable availability of green hydrogen. The focus here is on what are known as hard-to-abate sectors, which include energy-intensive industries such as fertiliser production, petrochemistry and steel production.

H2FUTURE: green hydrogen in the steel industry

With a capacity of six megawatts (6 MW), up to 1,200 m3 of green hydrogen is generated per hour. Here, green electricity is used to split water into its basic components, hydrogen and oxygen. The research project was carried out together with partners such as voestalpine and Siemens Energy, and is supported by the European Commission. The six-megawatt electrolyser will be operated by VERBUND and voestalpine after the research project ends in 2021.

Underground sun storage 2030

In the “USS2030” research project funded by the Climate and Energy Fund, VERBUND is working with partners under the direction of RAG to store solar energy on a large scale in the form of hydrogen on a seasonal basis – using existing storage facility infrastructure. The research project is being carried out as part of the “WIVA Power & Gas” Model Energy Region.
