Green Hydrogen Production Takes a Leap at 12.5 MW Solar Electrolysis Hub in Austria

The article accurately describes the RAG Austria AG and ANDRITZ AG's collaboration on Austria's largest green hydrogen production plant in Gampern, Upper Austria. The project involves expanding the electrolysis facility from 2.5 MW to 15 MW, with commissioning scheduled for the end of 2026. The plant aims to produce approximately 17 million cubic meters (over 1,500 tonnes) of green hydrogen annually, utilizing solar power as the primary renewable energy source. The hydrogen will be stored in a depleted natural gas reservoir and used for electricity and heat production during winter months. Several Austrian energy suppliers, including EVN AG, Energie AG Oberösterreich, KELAG, LINZ AG, and Salzburg AG, have already secured electrolysis capacity. The project is entirely financed by RAG Austria's own resources, reflecting confidence in the emerging green hydrogen market. The information is current as of July 13, 2026, and the events described occurred within the last two weeks, so old_content is set to false.
