OMV and Austria Wirtschaftsservice GmbH (aws) have signed a funding agreement that will guarantee production funding of up to EUR 123 million for the planned green hydrogen plant in Bruck an der Leitha (Lower Austria). The project was previously assessed positively and recommended for funding by the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB). This landmark project will make a significant contribution to Austria’s hydrogen strategy and OMV’s Strategy 2030. 

Alfred Stern, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of OMV: “The positive assessment made by the European Hydrogen Bank and the resulting funding from the Austrian state for our green hydrogen plant is a strong signal for the future of sustainable energy supply and Austria as a location. With our project, we are setting a milestone for the energy transition in Europe and showing how OMV combines innovation and responsibility.”
