Energie Steiermark takes FID on 5MW green hydrogen plant in Austria
In the UK, Gas World reported that Austrian energy provider Energie Steiermark has taken final investment decision (FID) on its $29 million, 5MW green hydrogen project in Bergla, Austria, with construction scheduled to begin this year and completion targeted for 2027.
Strategic partner in the project, Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG, is the pilot customer and anchor offtaker.
The company will use green hydrogen as the reducing agent in the production of tungsten powder from tungsten oxides, replacing fossil-derived hydrogen and supporting the decarbonization of its metallurgical processes, according to the report.
The plant will use renewable energy from Steiermark’s 105MW portfolio of newly commissioned windfarms in the district of Deutschlandsberg and deliver hydrogen to a nearby industrial area via pipeline, the report added.
