Verbund Showcases Ambitious Green Hydrogen Projects and International Expansion Efforts

Klaus Sehling from VERBUND presented the company's significant strides in green hydrogen. As Austria's largest utility, VERBUND aims to become a global leader with an installed capacity of 8.4 gigawatts for hydrogen power and holds a substantial share in both generation and transportation within Austria. Their strategy includes short-term local projects to stimulate the hydrogen market and long-term import initiatives across several international corridors, particularly focusing on partnerships in the MENA region. VERBUND has undertaken various innovative projects such as collaborating with LATNitrogen on a Green Ammonia Project to produce 7,000 tons of hydrogen annually by year-end financial decisions. Additionally, they are working on developing storage sites suited for large-scale imports projected operational by 2030. The company identified four main import corridors: West (Spain), South (MENA via Italy), North (Finland/Baltic states), and East—with emphasis on geopolitical challenges affecting some routes. One notable project is NOTOS in Tunisia involving multiple stages including wind/PV installations aimed at producing 300,000 tons per year alongside Total Energies.

Talk of session: The European State of Play in the Emerging Hydrogen Sector

The hydrogen economy starts to take form. Prompted by the industry, policymakers have responded by establishing the hydrogen bank, securing initial contracts for differences, a start to be continued, highlighting at the same time the urgent need for a new European infrastructure. The European Hydrogen Backbone is an initiative to think European and allow regions to act locally, bringing together the full play. However, change is implmented by people, and this new sector of the economy demands skilled workforce. The hydrogen academy aims at offering transition paths to this new promising sector.
